Sad to report the first lightning fatality of 2025.
A corrections officer in North Carolina was struck by lightning while fishing.
Fishing is the activity with the most associated lightning fatalities in the United States.
When thunder roars, go indoors!

Some of the best storms out here aren’t violent.
Sometimes they just quietly glide across the prairie like the buzzards in the sky.

My neighbor rotates planting corn and soybeans every other year. This should be the year soybeans gets planted and they are beautiful in the field. I’m not sure what will happen now.

Every April, the Flint Hills of Kansas are burned to preserve the 82,000 square miles of tallgrass prairie.
Unfortunately for Nebraska, on days the wind blows from the south, all the smoke ends up here.

There are several ongoing fires in the Kansas Flint Hills as of Tuesday morning. Southerly winds may bring some more smoke and haze into eastern Nebraska today and tonight.
