    The #GreatConjunction of #Jupiter and #Saturn thru my telescope just after 6pm. 4 of Jupiter's moons; Europa, Ganymede, Io & Callisto, and Saturn's Titan moon visible. Stacked many images for more clarity and color. Nexstar Celestron 6SE with Nikon D750 attached. #scwx #ncwx

    After my #Thanksgiving dinner, I took a walk outside and saw this. A waxing crescent moon (with earthshine), #Venus just below, and #Jupiter in the lower right hand corner. What a view! #scwx #ncwx

    8:37 am - this is the most insane video I’ve seen of the wildfire yet. It was raging near Wyandot Ct. in The Reserve at Walkers Woods early this morning. Heroic firefighters were able to suppress the fire and save all of these homes. Video via Greg Staff.

    MUST-SEE VIDEO! Romulus McNeill was walking out of the Academy for Technology and Academics located near Conway and was struck by lightning! As you would imagine, it freaked him out. Thankfully, he's ok! (After one take at normal speed, I slowed the video down) #scwx #ncwx

    The initial forecast for Hurricane Helene was made 3.5 days before landfall. Remarkably, the forecast and actual landfall points were roughly 25 miles apart. Considering the average error for a 3.5-day forecast is 145 miles, that's incredibly good work by NHC. With that said,
