A couple days ago, a huge storm rolled in I could see rain bands wrapping around and small debris in the air, plus a ton of lightning I was thinking “Holy cow these strikes are so close”! But it was wicked! Later that night I was videotaping  lightning and going over the video frame by frame I came across this awesome photo of cloud to cloud  lightning with the bolt! I could not go to sleep because I was so amazed!

Right now, I am learning to make movies out of my successful videos. Here is my first.

The temperature right now is 76 degrees. high is 80 and the low is 65 degrees. Today is a great day to go for a run or outdoor activities. Wind speed is at 17 MPH. Wind gusts from 15 to 30 MPH. prepare for a bunch of down bursts. Damage is likely and small gustnados or spin-ups may occur. not much precipitation. really sunny.

 

Just a few minutes ago I had just witnessed a funnel cloud. A funnel cloud is a circulation that has not touched down yet. We have a massive cold front moving in and it is going to get worse.you have to turn your head to see the funnel

 This was the original funnel cloud but then died.( which created another funnel cloud ( The funnel cloud on the top) this is what storm chasers call a hand off.

My father and I went to The Masters golf tournament this year in Augusta, GA and here’s some of what went on.

We flew down to Atlanta

We rented an Audi S3

We stayed at the Wyndham

The bed was pretty sweet

I learned what Azaleas are

The legendary Augusta National Clubhouse

…and with my dad

At the practice putting green and driving range (really early, before lots of people)

The driving range

Bubba Watson and Adam Hadwin

Dad living his dream (…until I get my name up there)

The course map, tee times and player pairings list

Jon Rahm

Jon Rahm tossed me the ball he played the 2nd hole with

2nd hole at Augusta National (…that’s a BIG approach shot!)

Jonathan Vegas and Angel Cabrerra from the fairway of the 2nd hole

Augusta National is the best kept course I’ve ever seen (…and I’ve played Pinehurst and some others legendary courses)

Ross Fischer and Tyrell Hatton

Ross Fischer and Tyrell Hatton(…Ross on the left)

Ross Fischer gave me a ball at the Bridgestone Invitational last year. He’s a super polite gentleman from England and he loves junior golfers.

Tyrell Hatton pulling a club

Ross, Tyrell and Harry

Ross showing some skill putting from the fringe of the green

Paul Casey and Cameron Smith walking up the 8th fairway

The best hole on the course. The 15th hole. Firethorn – A par 5 that has  creek at the end of your 2nd shot. Do you go for it in 2? Gotta believe in your 3 wood!

The 16th hole has a creek right in front of the green on a long approach that creates some epic successes or failures. (…scary)

In the front row of the grandstand, checking out the course map

THIS IS A FAIRWAY!!! Wow… Augusta National. It’s a par 4. Yep… You get four swings to get the ball in the hole including putting from here. No worries. …just 450yds of super tight tree lined fairway with a green surrounded with crater-looking sand traps. There were players that made it in three shots, for birdie, but not a lot.

Lunch (BBQ pork sandwich, Pimento Cheese sandwich and chips with sweet tea)

Rory McIlroy practicing putting (…one of my favorite players)

The practice green got crowded fast

Tony Finau signing my The Masters flag

Daniel Berger signing my The Masters flag

Zach Johnson signing my The Masters flag (Zach is a previous Masters champion!)

Matt Kuchar came out to talk a bit before signing an autograph. He liked my PGA Junior shirt and asked when he was gonna come watch me. (Matt is an Olympic medalist from last year’s games and a really friendly guy)

Larry Mize signing an autograph (is a previous Masters champion from a long time ago)

Harry Ellis signing an autograph in his first Masters tournament, qualifying as an amateur from Florida State

All done (…so cool)

My mom’s friend Carlos who’s a movie producer, introduced me to weather legend, Andre’ Bernier (Fox 8 News, Cleveland) and he left me a message. I will and thanks, Mr. Bernier! My eye is always on the sky.

Today is going to be a real rainy day with winds from 15 to 20 MPH. Today is just that type of perfect thunderstorm with a lot of precipitation. The NOAA calls for a lot of rain and thunderstorms. No signs of flooding. These storms are not severe warned yet.

                           HAVE A GOOD TUESDAY!!!

On Friday I took a beautiful picture of the sun setting. Then I took some beautiful pictures of the sun rising on Saturday. When I looked back at these pictures, I realized how beautiful these pictures were.

A couple of days ago on Thursday at hickory ridge leaving we had saw something that was very close to the moon. it was a star. The stars name was Aldebaran.It was like a photo bomb. So after witnessing that we drove home but when we drove home we saw the constellation Orion. Then we looked to the west and saw Venus. It was an amazing sight!

Right now it is currently 32 degrees feels like 24 degrees. we have had 0.02 inches of snowfall today with 0.03 inches of rainfall today. wind currently at 15 MPH gust up from 20 to 25 MPH. Pressure is at 29.78 inch. It is partly sunny with some snowfall. There is some on and off snow. We will be entering moderate snow at about 5:57 PM EST and we will start to be in some more moderate snow at about 5:52 EST. It is bad to take a run in this weather. Dew point at 22 degrees. Humidity at 62% .
