It's what I call the 'fingers of God' shot. Doesn't it look like God must be reaching down from the heavens into Central Oregon during this thunderstorm? Vince Swagert sent this shot last night from Culver, Oregon which is SW of Madras, Oregon and not far from Lake Billy Chinook. He said the … [Read more...]
East Coast Earthquake Energy Also Hit The Northwest
Hard to believe, isn't it? The same 5.8 earthquake that hit near Washington D.C. & Richmond, Virginia on August 23, 2011 sent energy all the way to the northwest. This picture shows the damage at the National Cathedral in the Washington D.C. area. A really old structure built before … [Read more...]
An Interview With U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Rocco Franco
I was doing live weather tonight at the Oregon International Airshow and wouldn't you know it, our live truck was parked right next to this red and white bird.

Perseid Meteor Photographed From Space
If your job has you working on the International Space Station, you'll miss out on some things. Blackberry milkshakes. Going for a walk on a warm summer night. Or taking a trip to the beach.

An Interview With The Portland Timbers’ Timber Joey
I never thought I'd see Timber Joey at Portland's NW Natural Street Of Dreams. I mean, a guy with a chainsaw next to million dollar homes? Sounds dangerous!

Giant Icebergs Created By Japan Tsunami
You're looking at the icy shores of Antarctica--8,000 miles from Japan. It's a place called the Sulzberger Ice Shelf. This satellite image on the right was taken on March 11, 2011--just hours after that day's great Japan quake and Tsunami. I want you to notice some of the pieces that are … [Read more...]
Sun Spots So Big, They Could Swallow The Earth
At first glance, they look like crop circles. Or maybe part of a bright painting in a museum somewhere. But no, what you see here is double sun spot #1263 as seen on August 2, 2011. NASA says each part of the 'double' is big enough to swallow the earth. So I added the mini-earths to this … [Read more...]
Fabio Doing The Weather: I Taught Him All He Knows
Here I am, standing next to Fabio in the KOIN Local 6 studios in Portland, Oregon. His biceps have me beat. But I'm pretty sure I taught him all he knows about doing the weather! I was at the store about a week ago buying corn on the cob. And since I butter corn and wrap it up before … [Read more...]
