a storm very like this one is raging a little to the east, heading to Nebraska to fuck their flat little world up.

this is one of those moments where nature really makes you feel small and humble. the amount of power in this storm, if given physical form, would be like six grizzly bears taped together around Mariusz Pudzianowki.

Who is also Kryptonian.


Seriously, though, this storm is just one of the many things about nature I love. Purple mountains, fields of grain, all that bullshit.

    Lightning is cool
    Nature is still an asshole though
    getting cold when you want to go outside, rains on you when you go biking
    lightninging you when you just want to go for a walk

    I want to go out West again. (Luckily I will, at the end of June.) Mountains really get to me.
    Also I like fly-fishing and someday I intend to get good.

    When it's autumn and the leaves are changing and in the early morning hours it's foggy as fuck and you can't see anything hardly past the other side of the road. Then it clears up and the skies are as blue as they can get and it ends up being a warm sunny day.

    seriously, wyoming is pretty much the place to be if you're the outdoorsy type and appreciate some nature. we got the best sunrises and sunsets, crazy-awesome storms, fuckin untainted tracts of pristine wilderness and shit.

    It's pretty rare that I'll see a thunderstorm. Other storms like really strong cold and warm fronts pop in and blow trees on everyone's houses and build up snow in the mountains only to melt it away again and cause flooding in the river valleys below. I get pretty excited when I hear thunder and lightning. Wind storms, because of the trees falling and killing people and destroying homes, not so much.

    I guess a town near by did see a funnel cloud though. We do get tornadoes and such but its like 1 or 2 a year.

    my favourite thing in nature is when you walk outside in the morning, and breathe in real deep, and you get that sting at the back of your nose.

    All we get here are sandstorms. Nothing more humbling than tiny rocks hurling at you at 55 mph.

    you know what i love?

    the absolute tomb-like silence after a big snow storm, when nothing and no one has walked on the snow yet and the world is just a big blank sheet of paper and it's so cold that it almost hurts to breath in.

    The best is being on top of a big ass hill and being able to see around you for miles and having the wind so strong it's deafening and you almost fall off cuz it's so strong.

    I am fucking terrified of storms and shit

    It's cool to watch on TV or whatever but if I am anywhere near inclement weather I get pretty goddamn nervous

    It does not help that I have had a couple close calls with that sort of thing in my life

    But it is still pretty neat, from a sciencey perspective!

    Can I say fire whirls, even though I just learned about them after looking at pipe's link? Because seriously, firenadoes.

    In all seriousness, I live in the pretty part of Oklahoma (NE corner) and have always loved being outside. My friends and I used to go out every Sunday and find a new park or nature reserve to go explore. I'm moving to Los Angeles in September, so I'm trying to get as much nature in as possible before moving out there. I'll see if I can't find some pictures off my old laptop to post up soon.

    edit: found a few pics. Most of these are kind of old, but good pictures nonetheless. nsf56k incoming.

    We had a pretty wicked ice storm a couple years ago, devastated pretty much all the trees in the area.

    YOU SHOULD COME TO

    Cheyenne_Frontier_Days.jpg

    Cheyenne Frontier Days is one of the oldest rodeos in the world, and also the largest outdoor rodeo! The only rodeos that are larger both take place in enclosed arenas! Experience a true slice of western culture!

    Take in the sights and sounds of Cheyenne, including our historic downtown district, our Western art museum, and the Old West Museum, telling the story of our country's wild past!

    Enjoy wild west shows and the Old Fashioned Melodrama, starring yours truly as Bert Dastard, the villainous delinquent! :D
