Capturing bits & pieces on media, politics, culture & daily life
Winter has arrived.
Hopefully it’ll be a short one.
Spending the morning at Cunningham Falls. Then getting apples at Catoctin Mountain Orchard. Because that’s what you do on a 70-degree day in November.
5pm. Slushy snow on my windshield.
7am. Freezing rain on my windshield. Snow expected later in parts of the D.C. area. Yes, it is still October.

The Life of Hurricane Irene from Caribbean to Canada
An animation of satellite observations from August 21 through August 29 showing the birth of Hurricane Irene in the Caribbean and her track over Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, the Bahamas, the U.S. East Coast and into Canada. At her strongest, Irene grew to a Category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale and made landfalls in North Carolina, New Jersey and New York.
Newsroom during hurricane coverage = loud chaos.
I’m ready for you, Irene.

This photo captures the moment a huge ‘supercell’ storm reared up like a giant tidal wave, sparking sideways bolts of lightning. Professional storm chaser Mike Hollingshead photographed the scenes in Nebraska, America, on Sunday and described them as the best shots he has taken in his 13-year career. “Every now and then I caught myself yelling out ‘Oh my God, I can’t believe this!’ I’ve seen some cool storms, but this night supercell takes the cake. It was a really other-worldly storm structure and the best I’ve seen in 13 years chasing.”
