GENERAL UPDATE: Editing & Lovely Distractions

I can’t message you idk why… 🤷🏻‍♂️

For everyone else, if you want to become an expert on derecho, visit this webpage. I found it today and nearly fell out of my chair... HOLY COW!!! https://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/archive/event.php?date=20211215

I don't know if this is helpful, but here's the vid by NASA: https://eoimages.gsfc.nasa.gov/images/imagerecords/149000/149221/conus_geos5_2021350.mp4 This is the website discussing the derecho with some photos by NASA: https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/149221/derecho-sweeps-across-midwest I would presume there's no copyright infringement if you use any of this because NASA allows everyone to their stuff unless a particular image is specifically marked "copyright". Then you have to send NASA email and ask their permission. I've done that when doing research and they always say "yes, go ahead". For their copyright rule, see this link. It's a short paragraph: https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/image-use-policy

Thanks for the update Hank - seeing Dino and good old Johnny really warmed my heart 🥰

Celton

Thanks for the update and I look forward to hearing more about Dino's survival story. I'm honored to have some of my footage be a part of something like this. Can't wait to see the video as I enjoy my Florida weather which is already back in the 80s lol, yawl stay warm out there.

Eta release date on my birthday ! Happy birthday to me ! 😄😄😄

Brent

LOL! I hope it helps. That was like a weather trifecta/clash of the titans...lots of snow, Chinook, derecho. When my niece told me it was 70 in Illinois near the Wisconsin border and we were getting pounded by a blizzard, I thought...well, this could be uhhh...' bad'. I really look forward to your perspective.

Really looking forward to the video coming out! It will give me something new to watch instead of just rewatching your older videos

Man, you're hired!

Yes I did. It's a wide shot of the whole thing moving over eastern NE and KS moving into IA and MO. It's also currently in GIF format and it can be converted into a video clip if needed.

Pecos Hank

That top one is a beautiful winner. Thank you so much.

Heading there next. Can always count on you.

I have lots of close up radarscope loops of tornadic segments, however I need a wide shot of the entire thing. Did you save that?

Brent

This is cool but being an evening event, finding visible bands is difficult. It is dark at night...lol. Hoping VIIRS will have a loop somewhere. It's such a nice visible/IR combo. https://satelliteliaisonblog.com/2021/12/

Hank, I have a Radarscope reflectivity loop of the 12/15 Midwest derecho hitting Omaha, NE. I'd be more than happy to send it to you if you'd like.

Somebody please tell me, is Celtons footage linked? I don't know what to click and really want to see it. Or is that a teaser?
