Storm Photo of the Week (July 31- August 6), Northern Lights and Chasing Potential!
We are starting a new thing here at TornadoVideos.Net, publishing user submitted photos once a week. They can be any kind of weather, from anywhere in the world! This includes any kind of weather phenomena (tornadoes, storm clouds, lightning, etc) or even things such as atmospheric optics (Sun halos, northern lights, etc). It is very important to understand that TVN will
NOT sell your photos, we will simply share them on our website, Facebook pages, and Twitter. If this interests you and you'd like your photos displayed through these outlets, simply send them to
[email protected] with a description in the Subject Line....then the date and the phenomena.
Our first winner of the "Storm Photo of the Week" goes to
Kristi Howard! (Photo Above) She sends this photo from Sapulpa, OK on May 22nd, 2011 looking northeast at the "Joplin Supercell" as it was forming and before the EF-5 tornado struck the city of Joplin, Missouri. Those who wish to help those still recovering from the deadly Joplin tornado, may do so by donating to the
Red Cross or the
Joplin Missouri Disaster Relief Fund.
Northern Lights are possible tonight for any High-Latitude watchers with cloud-free skies. To best view northern lights, head away from city lights, and look to the north and northeast of your location. NOAA space weather forecasters give tonight a 35% chance of mid-latitude watchers and 40% chance for high-latitude watchers. This stems from a solar flare that erupted earlier this week, so get out tonight and see if you can see them on the northern horizon!
Finally, a small chance for tornadoes tomorrow exists in portions of Central MN, Eastern ND and SD. Depending on tonight's MCS, there could be a few tornadoes in this area and I will be heading up north from KC after I type this post to position myself for tomorrow and the northern lights tonight. TVN streamers will be out in full-force tomorrow, so be sure to check out the Live Chasing page
here and follow Reed's Facebook fan page and Twitter account for live updates!
