Upon reviewing and speeding up my dashcam video from July 24th I realized that we may have missed a funnel underneath the original wallcloud. I sent the sped up video clip to NWS Blacksburg for them to review. After looking at the video and checking ra…
We were up in the Frederick, MD area on Sunday to drop off our son and three of his friends at a camp they are attending this week. After three hours on the car with four active teenage boys I was ready for a beer. Last year when we made this same trip…
Visitors to these Musings, know that we frequently follow our shooting range time with the enjoyment of good beer. In fact, we encourage it, in the right order. During our recent visit to Old Ox Brewery, we saw that the Silver Eagle Group indoor range …

Although I don’t think we chased under any severe watches today there was plenty of action that could (should?) have warranted a watch. After picking my son up in Gretna we wandered around Pittsylvania county for a while awaiting convection. We finally…
