More Field Camp...and Norman Storm Pics!!

So I just returned from the grand opening of our field camp. Here are a few more photos to commemorate it. My class also got together and donated enough money to sponsor a rocking chair. It seemed appropriate to give the chair on our 10th anniversary of our own field camp! The chair says class of 2001 and has all of our names listed.

On an unrelated note, last night about 730pm CDT (or 0030UTC, nerds), we had quite the line of storms move through. There was lots of straight-line wind damage throughout Norman, most of it south of us. We received some dime-sized hail and big winds (as John Milo was saying). See the SPC 70mph wind reports...we live at 12th Ave NE and Indian Hills...so it was close! The radar is OUN from 0051UTC and the pics are from right around campus and JM's daycare.

I went and visited my good friends Ivy and Tom in Albuquerque on the way out to Canon City. There are lots of fires burning out there, making the sky very odd. I'll leave you with this awesome sunset picture, enhanced by all the ash and particulates from the AZ fires.
