Deadly Tornado Outbreak: 1 year Later

A year ago lives we're scattered with the winds of a violent Tornado outbreak in the southern states, Alabama being hit the hardest.  A year later and the destruction and videos are still shocking, what's even more shocking is the number of people who lost their lives that day.  The storm didn't discriminate against any age, killing those from infants to college students to the elderly.  Anniversary's although painful, remind us of the importance of living life in the present and the true gift that life is to everyone!

Extreme Weather Series: Brush Fire Milford, CT 4/9/12

BrushFire Milford, CT 4/9/12

Below are photos I took of the smoke from a large brush fire in Milford, CT on the evening of 4/9/12 at Anchor Beach. Ironically I was at the beach in an attempt to catch some glimpses of smoke from a huge brush fire across Long Island Sound in Long Island NY but instead turned around to find smoke billowing out of my own town!!! The radar photo is a screen capture from weatherbug that shows where the smoke actually reflected on the radar like rain! The last few months have been very dry and warm in the northeast with strong winds today it was only a matter of time a fire would break out!

Even strawberry flowers are out! 4/6/12

Spring time! 4/6/12

With the incredibly warm weather of March every thing blossomed early here in CT, some plants have flowered up to a month in advance! The photos below are recent pics I took on my phone of a pear tree blossomed under the warm sun of April and the other is of maples and pear trees under an early rising moon!
