4/20/2004 Home In Minneapolis Taking Care Of Some Business And Thinking About Going To Iowa Again To Chase Some Lightning Tonight. I Have A Lot Of Catch Up Work To Do So Looks Like I’m Going To Sit This One Out This Afternoon.

Wow, That Was A Little Crazy. No Tornadoes Or Lightning But What A Wind And Hail Event Yesterday In Minnesota. I’m Back Out Shooting Footage For The Weather Channel This Morning And Then Its Off To Get Some Sleep!!!

Out storm chasing in Iowa today. Caught some great Lightning Video near Mason City for The Weather Channel.

Busy Busy BUSY DAY. Started Out With An Early Morning Video Shoot For The Weather Channel This Morning. Shot More Hot Weather Video For The Weather Channel This Afternoon. And Then… This Happened…

Ok, I got the SCOOP on this story and was able to get beyond the fire line to get right next to the fire fighters before the police shut the area down and locked it down to all the local media while I was still inside with the Fire Fighters.   WCCO used this stuff as their opening shot and TWC is going nuts over the video since I was so freaking close to the fire. 

Check out Shots 3 & 4, I was right under the Helicopter as it was dumping water on the fire and the water dump missed me by 100 feet.

Here is the video
