The NWS in Grand Forks, ND has updated their stats on the August 26, 2007 tornado outbreak in ND/northwest MN, stating that at least 8 tornadoes occurred over this region! More videos and photos will be added to the page below soon, but video of an INCREDIBLE 1/3 mile wide tornado from 15 miles W of Northwood was just added. The link for the page dedicated to this event is below, along with the link to the video of the tornado.

It appears that the tornado in the clip above was different from the Northwood tornado, and interestingly, had a SSW to NNE path despite a ESE storm motion. The associated tornado cyclone must have been occluding rapidly to produce this path, and is consistent with its relatively short damage path. A satellite image with the damage path is shown below, from the Grand Forks NWS site. The Northwood EF4 tornado may have been produced by the storm immediately to the north of this one!
Here is a radar image that was posted on the blog that night from around 7:30 pm CDT. I believe the rapidly intensifying storm to the WSW of Grand Forks is the one responsible for the EF3 in the video above, and the storm immediately to its north, moving ESE, eventually produced the Northwood EF4. The two other supercells to the north also produced tornadoes, although not as large in size. These storms may have been north of the LLJ core, and may have had less low-level shear to work with, or it could have been due to higher LCLs (cloud bases), or they did produce large tornadoes that just weren't observed.
Every year, there is a prolific tornado-producing event that we seem to overlook and decided not to chase, either because of the long driving distance or the ingredients came together at the last minute and were not forecast well by the models. This event was one such tornado outbreak that we didn't chase, but it was forecast well by the models and was quite obvious several tornadoes would occur! I definitely regret not chasing this event...
Meanwhile, a strong trough and associated 40+ knot low-level jet will bring a severe weather chance for the northwest Great Lakes Region today, but the storms will be in terrain not very conducive for storm chasing, with dense forest and even mountains in the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Here is the SPC tornado probability map for their Day 1 Outlook:

Hey u say u regret not chasing this but u cant get em all.
Ok here is the video from July 19th. Its just 4 pictures thats it.

Hey Reed!! I feel the same way!! If you remember I think I was contemplating if I should drive that far!! I think you and or Andrew told me to hold up because the models were showing much better chances in my area!! Both of your opinions I highly respect!! I'm just ticked because it did fire right in the predicted area which wasn't very big and I had a straight shot up Hwy2!! We'll get that one back!!! It was still fun cyber chasing it!!
I should wrote.. Much better chances in my area(where I've been chasing) the next day!!
Alright its gotten pretty quiet here anyways im out to go shower i have to get ready for work.
what a night. i hope the residents of northwood are having a successful rebuilding process. that storm had such an impressive hook on it. i love supercells and tornadoes like everyone else on here, but i dont really care for devistating rain-wrapped wedges. thanks for the video link reed.
Nice clean presentation there, Matt! That was in Ontario if I remember where you said you live
It's amazing how much work and investigation they put into those surveys.
Ya Joe it was in Ontario. Anyways like i said i have to get ready for work peace out and if anybody chases tonight good luck.
Public Severe Weather Outlook
...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED OVER PARTS OF THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND WESTERN GREAT LAKES THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...
THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OK IS FORECASTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL AND POSSIBLY A FEW TORNADOES OVER PARTS OF THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND WESTERN GREAT LAKES THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.
THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THIS ACTIVITY INCLUDE
UPPER PENINSULA OF MICHIGAN
MUCH OF WISCONSIN
SURROUNDING THE MODERATE RISK AREA...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM MUCH OF IOWA AND MINNESOTA INTO LOWER MICHIGAN.
A POTENT UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM AND STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. AS THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE WARMS AND DESTABILIZES AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT...STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY TO DEVELOP AND INTENSIFY BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON...INITIALLY ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY OF EASTERN MINNESOTA AND WESTERN WISCONSIN. THE STORMS WILL SUBSEQUENTLY ORGANIZE INTO A SQUALL LINE AND RACE EASTWARD ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF WISCONSIN AND THE UPPER PENINSULA OF MICHIGAN LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WITH AMPLE MOISTURE AND ATMOSPHERIC INSTABILITY IN PLACE...STRONG WIND FIELDS WILL SUPPORT A LIKLIHOOD OF WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS...ALONG WITH LARGE HAIL AND POSSIBLY A FEW TORNADOES.
Well... That was an impressive video!!! Now I'm really erked I didn't go!!=((
Looks like it might get a lil breezy here!!
Brady, don't feel too bad. It sounds like the tornado was rain-wrapped and you probably wouldn't have seen much, plus you would have stood a good chance of taking an air-ride in the TIV, lol.
The line that is going to erupt into the squall line later is now visible on radar in western Minnesota.
Current surface map. Check out the winds behind the cold front. And the winds in the warm zone. That is a strong front!
Yeah!! I knw Andrew!! better safe than sorry!! Iwouldn't have minded aftermath chasing it though!! even though Johnny Law wasn't letting people in to town!!
That storm wasn't a total bust for me though!! ^^
My work day is only half over so I doubt I'll have a chance to chase!! Boy it's so busy hear I can hardly post!! lol
the temperature and dewpoint difference is impressive.
Reed, this is one of the "busiest" blog entries ever, wouldn't you say?! ... That video of the ND tornado was pretty intense - I'm glad it surfaced. ... We're expecting rain/t-storm chances from the (soon to be?) tropical storm. Woo...
Time to go look at the models again. I like going OH MY GOSH when I see big-time shear potential. 8-O
That video was awesome! I remember watching those supercells that night!
Now it's time to watch Tropical Depression #10 for me!
looks like things are firing up just north and west of me again!! I'm not used to these multiple svr weather days!!
^^^^^^^ I really wish I didn't have to work today!!
wind advisory's, flash flood warnings, severe thunder storms and tornado warnings!! I guess this is what I get for whining about the lack of weather earlier this year!!
hey guys im back....anything gong on??
looks as if you answered my question before i had even posted brady lol
So that's how you make severe weather happen near you? Whine about it a lot? Okay then: whine whine whine, waaahhhhh, (sniff) ... okay. ...
Didn't work.
:D
I like how the 5% is in my trout pond!! lol
Ya know... the current 3 day looks like yesterday when it was a 3 day!! hehe I don't work then either!!

ACROSS FAR EASTERN MN INTO WESTERN WI. AS SAMPLED VIA REGIONAL
WSR-88D VWP DATA FROM MINNEAPOLIS/DULUTH/LA CROSSE...VERY STRONG
WIND FIELDS/LONG HODOGRAPHS THROUGH THE LOW-MID TROPOSPHERE WILL
DISTINCTLY PROMOTE A DAMAGING WIND THREAT...ENHANCED BY THE

WELL...AND A FEW TORNADOES CANNOT BE RULED OUT...EITHER VIA
QUASI-DISCRETE SUPERCELLS AND/OR LEWP EVOLUTION.
MOT RISK FOR SVR WEATHER!!!!!
My predictions: 17 high-school field goal attempts will get blown wide, 482 Friday-night fishermen will get whitecapped back to the docks, and 3500 homes will lose power.
Actually I just glanced at a couple Wisconsin newspapers and they don't seem too concerned about it yet. Maybe that'll change if that tornado watch as mentioned in the mesoscale discussion goes into effect.

RADIO FOR POSSIBLE WATCHES...WARNINGS...AND STATEMENTS LATER TODAY.
somethings up with my gr3 it isn't showing me any warnings or anything.... i guess there are FFW OR SVR warnings out?
Not here, not yet Tim!! I think real soon!! I just took some pics of the clouds around me!! some sweet looking cells!!
maybe I can go to my spot and get some more pics after work!! I love the structures!
Yeah you just wait untill about 5:00 LOL
I don't think there are any warnings out yet for flash floods or severe thunderstorms yet, Tim. There may be some flash-flood *watches* in effect but those don't come up as warnings in GR. We ought to see some t-storm warnings come up in a couple hours?
Hey, a nice person at SPC responded to the feedback about the F-scale stuff that's still in the advisories.
"The EF-scale in the product is a known issue, however, since this is a decodable product, we need to follow a change management process to make the correction."
cheers guys at least i now know that there isn't anything wrong lol.....
joe and brady i got some pics earlier on of a storm which came through my town earlier ( there alot better than the i took the other day ) i can't think of any good music which would go along with it do you have any ideas??
Brady getting any surface winds yet? Those cells to the south and north of you are screaming along over 50 knots to the NE
Time to warm up grlevel. It's starting.
Still pretty warm and humid here little southwest wind but it's coming and I'm taking pics!! looks pretty cool!!
Three hours left of being payed to screw off!! I need to recharge my cam!! I can't quit taking pics!!hehe
The line is hitting Duluth right about now, so maybe winds will pick up a little? Also the big fat tornado watch for Wisconsin just came out
Here it comes!! =)
*actually it's still a few miles away from Duluth, crossing Hermantown right about now
Any warnings yet?
No Caleb but there's a big ol tornado watch out.
joe ....just wondering how can there be a tornado watch without there being a SVR thunderstorm warning out is that possible??
and ive almost finished creating my vid will post it soon!!!
Hehe!!That's actually where I am Joe!! I wish I could go watch it over the lake! I got a vid and some pics of it coming over!! moving really quick!!
Just clouds, wind,anda tiny bit of rain!! no boomers!
wow...I wonder when was the last time Isle Royal (sp) had a tornado watch?!?
I bet against them getting a hose today.
YESSSSS Joe thats what i wanna here!!!
REEEEEEEEDDDDD TORNADO WATCH OUT!!!!!!!
Tim, a "watch" just means tornadoes are possible in the next X number of hours. A "warning" means something has been observed like an actual tornado or rotation.
I think that's a safe bet Reed.
My bet is on the storm that's just firing west of Hayward. Any one else want to add to the pot?
ah rite ok cheers joe lol learning a lot here lol.....
A tornado watch (SAME code: TOA; sometimes referred to as a "red box" by meteorologists and storm chasers) is issued when weather conditions are favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms that are capable of producing tornadoes. A tornado watch therefore implies that it is also a severe thunderstorm watch. A tornado watch must not be confused with a tornado warning.
A watch does not mean that the severe weather is actually occurring, only that conditions have created a significant risk for it. If severe weather actually does occur, a tornado warning or severe thunderstorm warning will be issued.
Main Article: Particularly dangerous situation
In the event that a tornado watch is likely to lead to a major tornado outbreak along with possible destructive winds and hail, enhanced wording with the words particularly dangerous situation (PDS) can be added to the watch; this is occasionally issued
Yeah, what Caleb said!
Tim, did you get that warning that just came out on your GR?
That's one long line of stuff! It cuts all the way through Iowa and Wisconsin up into the Upper Peninsula
Boy did I just have a senior moment. I meant EAU CLAIRE, not Hayward.
Sheesh.
^^^ I guess it actually happened last night!
IT looks like the TD might be wobbling towards the FL Panhandle coast. There may also be a mini-supercell northeast of Pensacola a ways.
yeh ive got it caleb lol :D
Hey everyone, what's up? Yeah, I noticed Florida also, looks like it should get interesting!
Andrew, I also suffer from senior moments, at 15, so don't worry. ;)
sorry joe thought it was caleb ...yeh i got it lol
CLOSELY MONITORING FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WATCH FROM SOUTHEAST MN/SOUTHWEST WI INTO MUCH OF CENTRAL/EASTERN
IA...A WATCH COULD BE NEEDED FOR PORTIONS OF THE REGION WITHIN THE
HOUR. THE STRONGEST STORMS WILL POSE A RISK OF DAMAGING WIND GUSTS
AND LARGE HAIL.
SOUTH OF TORNADO WATCH 670 ACROSS WI/U.P. OF MI...STORMS ARE RAPIDLY
INCREASING ALONG/JUST AHEAD OF SURFACE FRONTAL ZONE FROM SOUTHEAST
MN INTO EAST CENTRAL IA. AMPLE INSOLATION/MOISTURE HAS LEAD TO THE
DEVELOPMENT OF MODERATE INSTABILITY...WITH QUICKLY WEAKENING
INHIBITION AND A CORRIDOR OF MLCAPE GREATER THAN 1000 J/KG JUST
AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. WHILE MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES WARM AND LOW
TO MID TROPOSPHERIC WIND FIELDS ACROSS THE WARM SECTOR WEAKEN WITH
SOUTH EXTENT...THE STRONGEST STORMS WILL NEVERTHELESS BE CAPABLE OF
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS/LARGE HAIL THROUGH EARLY EVENING.
Tim what d u mean?
caleb joe asked me if i had got the warning on my gr but i thought at first t was you who posted the comment sorry lol
Aah, so that's what's going on... thanks Caleb :)
Slow weather day in Kansas... dangit.
Wach this

I think it's a squall line Joe. I know you didn't ask me but that's what I would call it because it's caused by the cold front and it's a solid line.
C:\Documents and Settings\andrew\My Documents\My Pictures\drylinesquall line.jpg
^^Here's a really good picture of a spring setup with dryline tornadic supercells followed by the cold front/squall line behind them.
I just found that in my files. Sheesh, haven't seen a radar looking like that in a LONG time.
Squall line... that sounds about right
If you go to tinypic.com, you can upload that pic... takes just a few seconds
Thanks Andrew! I feel like an idiot when I don't know the right vocabulary.
"Squall Line - A solid or nearly solid line or band of active thunderstorms."
PS, what I meant about uploading that pic is that since it's on your C-drive we can't view it yet
Ooops.
I suck at computer stuff. Sorry.
I guess I don't have the pic anymore, at least it won't open any more for me.
I found more good radar images of a dryline/squall line event though. Click my name. This is from Mike Hollingshead's site (incredible photography). If you scroll down about 3/4s of the way you'll see a great radar grab of dryline tornadic thunderstorms and a squall line behind them. A lot better than the pic I had.
hey guys, do you know any good sites where i could get great raders besides grlvl stuff because i cant pay for that:(:( so any help here and also i know about all the main ones like noaa
guys just finished me video from today click my name watch the end credits if you do watch it please :D
Whoa! Awesome
sorry that came out a bit wrong didnt mean to say click my name towatch the end credits lol
i meant to say click my name to watch the pics i took from a strom which came past my ouse today....if you do watch please watch the end credits lol :D
Greg click my name.
Tim, tv.net allows a maximum of only 100 characters in the "Web Address" field... so your link got cut off and that's why it doesn't work! :-(
You could always use tinyurl.com to convert it to a shorter link and then post it again

Brady wheres your videos!!! I'll be putting my funnel one up one my site later.
Why am I not seeing any tornadoes in Wisconsin yet (technical term for them: "cheddarhosen")
Let's go you cheeseheads.
Joe there's a storm about to cross the Wisc/Mich line on the north end of the squall line that looks interesting. Marquette radar.
I think it's mainly a wind event tonight.

Ah, got it!
I think you're right. Obviously I'm no expert but when everything is lined up so perfectly in a squall line it makes it seem unlikely for a tube to fall out! So far anyhow.
Joe look at this

Very nice Caleb! I actually think out of all the tributes and comments posted about Eric Nguyen, Jim Reed's was the best and most touching.
Yeah did u see the 2nd one?
Hey guys! Sorry, I had a slight emergency I had to leave for. Everything's fine now. And I had a fantastic day, thanks Tim.
Tornado!! Woohoo!!
Mc Hammer? Isn't that the latest burger from McDonalds?
Cheddarhosen, HAHAHAHA!!!! Nice Joe.
Well I just returned from Wal-Mart and happy to say there was no tornado while I was there ;) I left at apx. the exact moment all of this stuff started popping in the upper Miss. valley.
Check this out - it's the US water vapor in motion - AWESOME!!!

Ah Heidi, ya beat me to the 100th comment!! lol Aight I just need to clean up the shop a lil and then I'll be out like a fat kid in dodgeball!! Andrew, I agree about the wind event!!
OK Joe yes it is
My-my-my-my music hits me so hard makes me say oh
Ok now watch this

WOW that is a TEXTBOOK squall line.
Hose potential now shifts to the Gulf Coast. It looks like the center of the TD is moving right along the coast, with a little flare-up of convection around the center. This thing could be a prolific tornado producer...the breaks in the clouds in the outer bands are allowing good destabilization. We should be chasing this monster.
Heidi, that's amazing, I'd never seen that type of product before. Water vapor... maybe when Reed builds this site up there can be a bunch of favorite links.
woo! just got a t-storm warning so im going to go outside and video tape it, i guess its suppose to be 60-70mph winds and has a history of producing hail....ill tell ya'll when i get back..btw i live in wisconsin (southern)
Yea.....Reed wach this vid i posted for joe

Caleb you sure have diverse musical tastes for such a young man. You also may be a youtube savant. You may grow up to be the world's first tornadic disc jockey or something.
greg, it's about time we heard from someone in Wisconsin! Go get that film man!
haha. Nice stuff Caleb! Excellent time waster for a seemingly boring evening ;)
Still any action in Florida going on now??
Hehe!! I was gonna say earlier not many Chedderheads here!! Please don't take offence Greg!! be happy this is the first time that I can remember that the brewers did a lot better than my Twinkies, And I'm still very jealous of your retractable roof!! Yours to Joe!!
I'm trying to upload a vid but it's beeing slow as hell again!!=( I didn't get much for weather vid! I took some pics at work that I think came out pretty good!! I'm a structure freak!!
Man this damn vid is only 40% done! Whats that thing that Reed says? Oh yeah... asdflkjhghfjdksla!!!
Just got home from trying to fix a pocket-rocket with my friends.... until we got in trouble. LOL tornadic dis jockey.
Finally!! Alright!! I dedicate this one to the whole Tornadovideos.net blogging crew!!hehe WARNING: There are 2 F bombs in this vid!! If you don't like it or are not mature enough (I know you all are) please don't watch!! I'll be fixing some of these at a later date!! If you can brighten it up it might look a lil better!! Enjoy!
Aftermath chaser Brady on the scene!! lol
LOL here is a little music to get u in the mode

well im back very dissapointed the storms died out about 10miles from my house we had about 30mph winds thats about it...Hey guys hear that las vegas has a tornado warning http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/vef/
Hahahahaha, Brady you make the most bodacious videos!!
Heres one from Wyoming MN! Soryy for the S bombs!! I need a language beeper!! This stuff comes out too dark!! Like Isays I jacked up the brightness on my Nero and it looks much better! I stopped at a corner bar called the Cornerstone to wait for Joes next update!! I had 1 brew and 1 brew only, and a lil toilet break! It was a real nice lil establishment!!=) I took this before I left there!!
That was the extent of the damage I seen there! lol
Two cones tipped over!! when I went through Pine City the first time there was lots of leaves and small to medium branches scattered all over town!! There was also a decent tree split in half with a city worker picking it up (wonder if it was AJ) jk . next to that there was a few emergency vehilces at a house with there Cherries flashing, It made it kind of intense. I didn't see damage there so I bet it was irrelevant, but still intense!!
The people seemed to be moving around like nothing happened!!
Heres a pic I took this morning at work!! I'm uploading more!!
Yeah, I remember that "toilet break!" I was talking to you about serious meteorology on the phone when suddenly, "FLUSHHH!" lol
I haven't seen any confirmation yet on that Pine City Walmart tornado so I wonder if it was just a funnel if anything. I've been growing to learn that the contents of the alerts aren't official by any stretch
I asked a clerk at the gas station in Pine City " how's the weather been here?" He says and I quote""" " Uh... I dunno... The sirens were sounding a lil while ago... I dunno!!
Uh"!
I like this pic!
That's a pretty cool pic, really boiling up there. I didn't realize you had such blue skies going on at that time.
Probably one of those low long shark tooth scuds, and a hell of a gust!! there was plenty of both!!
One from the Squall line when it came over!!
The cells Seemed to come together as the night grew longer( if that makes any sense) I got a little view of the moon and the stars on the way home last night in between cells!! It was quite blue around the cells this morning!!
You just got a minor piece of that squall line tonight, too. Just imagine how much better it would have been if you were further south in the real line. Your cam is working great by the way.. no problems with those pics!
And another!
It's a nice touch having Old Glory in those shots. Just started raining here just now, by the way. I really love this area. Anyone who wants to move on out to the Puget Sound region, come on out. Nice and green, cool, pleasant weather. That last part is the down side.
It takes great pics!! Just crappy vid!!
Wow It's windy here!! Consistant 16mph!! gusts 38mph NW at Duluth International Airport!
Those shots must have been of that cell that was moving south of you, right?
* I meant north of you, judging by the flag position. Just a guess
Hey guys..... Havn't been posting in awhile! Been busy w/ school:-D!!
Anyway, where is fall!!?!! It got up to 93 degrees today! It will be 91 tomorrow!! As a matter of fact, I don't see any true fall weather for quite some time....figures.
Weather notes: TD #10 has finally developed though unorganized. Expected to become a weak TS Jerry in the next 12 hours before making landfall. Jerry could influence oklahomas weather by the begining of next week.
TS Ivo continues to weaken of the west coast of Mexico.. If it holds together its moisture could make its way into oklahoma some time late next week..
Well that sums up my forecast. So whats going on in your neck of the woods??? Did I miss anything interesting?
It was actually a real nice day here!! even in the wind!!
It just rained a tiny bit when the line came over! and yeah! radar had very little!!
One of these years I'm gonna head out that way and catch some really beautiful great eating fish!! And maybe a M's Twins game!! And of course get lost in the cascades!!
There's a woman who's been lost in the Cascades all week. They just found her tonight ^^^
Zack... I don't know where to begin to tell ya so start reading buddy!!
Yes Joe! That was SW of me when I snapped it! The pics over the new bank is dead north like this! note the Honda dealership behind it!! look familiar! The flags are SW of where I was!!
I just dug out my old Fuji digital cam, loaded fresh batteries in it, planning to take some pics of the rainy mountains and load them in here, but the camera doesn't seem to be working. Doesn't surprise me since I haven't used it in a couple of years. Oh well
Here's a shot of the line when it was on it's way in!! looking NW!!
that's creepy how I mention getting lost in the Cascades like that!! As I hear the Twilight zone theme!!
The part I don't understand about that story is that in her note, she said she was "out of water" (and food) and that when they found her as she was headed downstream, she was dehydrated. Excuse me but there is no shortage of water in the Cascades and by her own account she was headed "downstream" along water so there's no reason to be dehydrated. Maybe she only drinks bottled water even when dying of thirst or something.
So Brady, What are you guys talking about?
Sorry for loading up your blog Reed!!
Oh Joe, ya need to get some photos of the mountains!!
ya just gotta man!!
Here's one to the SW again!
Sorry Zack!! Didn't mean to sound rude! I do apologize!
Thanx for the info on TD#10!! Yeah ya missed some stuff in Minny!! It's been a crazy week here!!
Watching OU football w/ my parents is scary!!!
Picture this: *mom and dad in pajamas yelling*
GO OU GO!!! GO GO GO GO GO!! GET IT BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(OU makes a touch down) WOOOHOOOOO YEAH BABY!!! *shudders. Can you guys imagine what Ilive w/ on OU football days!
Thats fine Braddy, no worries lol.
Yeah it has been crazy up there indeed...
Love those cloud pics, we don't get those around here. I'm charging up some new batteries just in case those last batteries were the problem, but even so now it's too dark. If I can get the camera going I'll see what I can do. If not, then that's that..
zack, wait until Oct 6! OU has nothing but scrubs on their schedule until the Texas game. Likewise for Texas. That game is the whole season
Guys... My parents are scaring me... hehe just kidding lol.
That waterspout vid is amazing!!
Wow Joe!! that really makes ya wonder!! You would almost think the water in the mountains would be healthier than bottled!! I heard somewhere that the water bottling companies are gonna have to start putting on the labels " this product comes from a municipal water supply." Aka Tap water!!
Here's one for Reed and AJ!
What are you saying Joe, Texas is gonna beat us??
Please...
Wow.... Brady those are nice pictures man!! Where do you live??
This is what I hope it looks like when I die and go to heaven!!
Zack, I'm in a place called " the Air conditioned city" otherwise known as Duluth MN It has it's charm!!
Hey hey! I just got this old POS working! I might have to go fart around one of these days and take some pics.
