After the Bennington tornado became fully rain wrapped, we dropped back on it a bit. This was primarily because storms like this can tend to cycle and drop a new tornado further south (potentially closer to us) but also to check out its structure.

The laser-cut paper models are the result of a collaborative design studio of the Faculty of Architecture and the Faculty of Product-Design at the University of Kassel. The students went through a one week drill of Rhino Scripting and subsequently designed and implemented their own parametric modules. The propagation of modules along a three-dimensional guiding geometry is twofold: In the first iteration a centre line model of the structure is generated and transferred to a structural analysis program. In the second iteration the actual modules are generated driven by the guiding geometry and the local forces derived from the preceding analysis. Manfred Grohmann, Markus Schein, Oliver Tessmann
15/365
Inspired by m.clemm. She also did a 365. So go and check her stream!
I'm just so tired at the moment that I am not able to create new things.

Stunning storm structure associated with remnant sub-severe thunderstorms in extreme southern Champaign County, Illinois yesterday evening. I was mostly impressed with the inflow feeding into the storm!
I was shooting lightning from this location (see "Stack of Lightning..." / previous photo) and primarily was focused on getting the good bolts. I was somewhat pleased with the lightning activity, despite that I was having ISO issues and properly exposing the storm structure, given it was so dark, and the bolts were too bright.
I ended up with this shot here after shooting quite a few, thus taking up space on the memory card, I called it quits at this location and went south towards northern Coles County near home because an approaching line of severe thunderstorms (a squall line) was soon coming into my area. I made it past Villa Grove, and blasted by the IL-133/IL-130 intersection just in time as I was paged and heard on my VHF radio that the Coles EMA needed spotters. I was out of course, so I instantly came across my radio and said where I was heading. My final goal location was east of Humboldt, that was actually on IL-130 north of Charleston lol. Things got intense way too quick, and the sky was a pitch black color. I knew we were under a severe thunderstorm warning, although I got a weird feeling that a tornado warning was going to be issued, and of all locations, it ended up smack dab right east and west of my hometown, Ashmore. The warning went off on my VHF radio and the EOC said that he was going to sound the tornado sirens for Ashmore. At that point, I was kind of worried because there was a ton of precipitation, mostly heavy rain and gusty winds coming from these storms which immediately prevented us spotters from seeing anything. Lightning didn't really help much, there was too much rain. All while that was going on I didn't even care that as soon as I left Villa Grove that Douglas and Champaign Counties would get tornado warnings. I was mad at myself for not coming south sooner, so I could have been in Ashmore and near home in time before the tornado warning was issued. There were two areas of rotation (radar indicated) by the National Weather Service in Lincoln, IL heading east from Loxa towards Ashmore that ended up prompting the tornado warning. I was still north of Charleston and decided to leave my spotting location to head home to Ashmore and check out the town, make sure no trees or stuff was in the road. Turns out we had some minor wind damage; a couple powerlines were downed by wind and a couple tree limbs fell in the road. Charleston ended up with downed powerlines too, and loss of power (as did some spots in Ashmore). Ameren has their hands full tonight, as they have been working in wet conditions to restore power to people across Central Illinois.
So I probably typed way too much for these images, but all is good and I ended up home in one piece. Everyone in Ashmore was fine, thankfully there is only spotty damage from wind gusts and hopefully nothing more. I don't think we had a tornado touchdown or anything, it was radar detected rotation only. Successfully shot my first wedding, and some storms on the same day, I totally can't complain :D
Enjoy, thanks for reading.
I'm not sure how to call this structure, but there are four of them: two at each end of the Maria Kristina zubia (Maria Cristina bridge)

This structure was built in 2006 and is a faithful replica of the 1909 Princeton depot that served the town from this site until 1959. The former depot was demolished in the 1970s. This replica now houses the Princeton Railroad Museum.
Princeton, West Virginia is a quaint small town located in the south of the state south of Beckley. It serves as the seat of Mercer County.
