This weekend, we were hit with our fourth major winter storm, just two weeks after the last, which dumped heavy snow on us. This time, we were pounded with 50-70mph winds, and 5-7 inches of rain, all in a little more than 24 hours. The result of all of this is roads closed all over, due to downed trees and floods, or both. Getting around is a logistical nightmare, requiring a GPS and a cellphone. Sometimes the only way to get where you're going is to get input from several others who have been there before you. The GPS is handy because so many of us have to drive miles out of our way, through unfamiliar towns to try to get where we need to be. My son had to drive miles out of his way to get into Princeton, and many of our staff are having the same problem. Most of the roads I use to get to work are closed, but I was able to find a route that got me there in a reasonable amount of time. A bright spot - if all this rain had been snow, we would have had 5-6 FEET of snow, which would have been wind-driven into drifts. Still, there is a huge amount of damage. At one point, nearly 500,000 people were without power; many still are. I'm working with people who have no electricity or water in their homes right now. A wind-driven fire destroyed 7 large Victorian homes in the beautiful, historic town of Ocean Grove.
This is the corner of Washington Road and Faculty Road in Princeton NJ. A huge tree from the arboretum area crashed down on the road, taking all the power lines with it; you can see traffic lights are not operational. One lane is open, and traffic is being directed by police. This was a massive headache getting home this morning. I consider myself lucky - aside from water in my basement, I have lights, heat and water, and all my trees stayed put in the ground. I don't think I've ever been as frightened as I was late Saturday and early Sunday during this storm.

De wind nam verder toe tot stormkracht maar gek genoeg bleven de wolken boven de bergen hangen. Op een paar spetters na bleef het droog. Lunchen deed ik kort en op een spaarzame beschutte plek.
Vinden tilltagit till storm men paradoxal den mörka moln stannade på berg. Det stannade tort, det fanns bara några droppar. Kort jag ätade lunch på en glet skyddad vrå
The wind increased further to gale force. Paradoxically the dark clouds stayed above the mountains in the east and it stayed dry, except for a few drops. The lunch was short and on a shelterd and rare spot.

STORM, world's first electric touring motorcycle, designed by students of TU Eindhoven.
Storm just as it was hitting. The green in the sky is from hail aloft, the pinkish color is from kicked up dirt and dust aloft.
The sky looked dark and ominous, like a storm was brewing - but once again it passed us by. Oh, we got a little rain, but not nearly what these clouds seemed to be promising.
The clouds in this storm were really cool. Probably wasnt real smart chasing it to get photos. Saw a storm chaser on the side of one road.
I thought there would be a tornado. It was extremely calm outside, and with the sky, I thought any moment one would drop.
But the clouds were AMAZING looking
Title: My first lightning photos 2.
Ez egy izgi példány volt: nem csapott bele a földbe, a levegőben cikázott, az volt az érzésem, hogy keresztülszelte Dél-Pestet, nagyon hosszú volt, a kép csak egy részét csípte el.
That was an interesting piece, it did not hit the ground, was zig-zaging through the air, I had the feeling that it was many kilometers long, the picture is catching only a piece of it.
This is what happens when work is slow, you have your camera and a new fisheye lens burning a hole in your bag!
This Storm Trooper is only 2" Tall, love the exaggerated look the lens gives the Storm Trooper.

Couple of boats washed up on Goleta Beach during a storm. One man injured when pulled from a coastal restaurant under the Goleta Pier. Cops and Fire Fighters showed up, emergency light flashing.
Here in central Nebraska, its being called "an ice storm of historic proportions" and "a 50-year ice storm." Power poles snapped in half, trees down, power out, at least a half an inch of solid ice on every surface. A week ago we had ice storm # 1, this storm is much worse.
Timelapse of the McLean, Texas, storm of 16 May 2017, showing rotation intensifying within the wall cloud, leading to the eventual formation of a tornado, which becomes rain-wrapped near the end of the sequence. Individual frames are mostly at 2 second intervals and are shown here at 20 times real-time speed.
At Shoreline Lake, these are storm cloud's rolling in for the storm later on that night. I love cloud's, and as soon as I knew that there was going to be one, I headed to the lake with my camera.
