I was outside late Sunday night trying to “hunt” the aurora borealis, but no luck this time! I’ve seen some amazing photos from North Carolina, though, where people were able to capture them. If you were lucky enough to catch the auroras, let me know and share your photos below!

This weekend I stayed at my parents house to ensure that coverage of #HurricaneHelene continued, as the power/Internet was out at my primary location. I wanted to say a quick “Thank You” to my dad and step-mom for opening their home to accommodate me and my equipment.

Even while taking shelter during the Tornado Warning this morning, I kept an eye on the storm using RadarOmega on my iPhone. Always important to stay informed and aware of changing conditions, especially during severe weather like this. Stay safe, everyone, and keep monitoring your local warnings!
