1965: heavy rain onto an unusually deep snowpack in the high Uintas of UT caused a flash flood somteime after midnight. It roared down Sheep Creek Canyon and destroyed 3 rec areas, 7 bridges and 5 miles of newly paved roads and swept 7 campers away in the Palisades Campgrounds.
1968: an apparent tornado swept through a rugged, heavily forested area 30mi N of Enterprise, OR. The track was 8-10 miles long and 1/2 to 2 miles wide. ~40 million board feet of lumber was blown down.

Long Live Meteorological Obscurantism !

I blame global warming (and President Bush) for all of the above. If he hadn't stolen the last two elections none of that stuff would have happened.

No worries mate.
Very, very good photo. One of the best I've seen.
To: scott7278
That is a really cool picture. As an amateur photographer, I know how hard it is to capture lightning on film. I've tried.
I found this on the official silliness thread (6/10/2005), posted by Dallas59. It is also very cool.
To: SpottedBeaver
That is another amazing photo. Thanks for posting it.
P.S. Is it real or photoshopped ?
To: raygun
Would you please take me off your ping list? Thanks.

snow whitened the highest Appalachians of MD and PA and the Catskills of SE NY.Okay, maybe someone can enlighten me here. I live in the Alleghenies, but the Appalachian trail is just a few miles away. Are the Alleghenies part of the Appalachians? And what's with all the weird place names in the East, anyway (for this native Californian)?
