Shot this iPhone image the day before our snow storm hit. We went from spring like weather to winter overnight.

It took awhile for it to happen, but we’re finally getting some snow here in Wisconsin.

2″ so far. The forecast is calling for up to 6″.

Videos of Severe Storm Damage in Kenosha

July 6th, 2011 Author:

It was six days ago, on June 3oth, that a severe thunderstorm formed over Lake Michigan and moved south, 5-10 miles off shore of Kenosha. Though the storm didn’t come over land in our area,  hurricane force winds, up to 75 mph, swept across the lake and slammed into the lake shore areas. The winds uprooted hundreds of trees, snapped power poles, caused much property damage and left thousands without power for up to three days. It also turned Kenosha’s beautiful lake shore parks into tangled messes of downed trees and branches.

During the storm I was able to grab a little video from our living room window, I then went out on Friday morning and shot some video of the damage. The first video contains those scenes. Yesterday I was able to get to the hardest hit area, South Port Park, and I shot some video of the damage there. That’s the second video.

Kenosha is still a mess and there’s a lot of clean up left. Thankfully all power was restored on Sunday.

Thunderstorm over Lake Michigan

June 17th, 2011 Author:

I shot this last evening while on my way to a pet sit. It’s a two image pano of a storm over Lake Michigan at sunset. The image was shot and processed on my iPhone. If it wasn’t for my iPhone I would have missed a beautiful photo because I didn’t have another camera with me. Just goes to show, the best camera is the one you have with you!
