    Xfax: hard to say if that's critter damage or lightning, but that tree is sure hanging on. on another thread i was reading that if you cut up a tree to use for firewood that has been hit by lightening that it will shoot off sparks when it burns. Over: cool critters you have entertaining you...

    Over: I'm almost 100% this is raccoons and i'll have to get a game camera to catch them even though i'm usually up at 4am. thankfully they are leaving my lawn alone this year, but they have been tearing the neighbors yards up and maybe cause I removed a ton of grubs and crane fly larve when i re...

    Synmat: WOW 3 different woodpeckers and great pics of them too. WELL DONE!!! ALL: since that tornado was so close to the water could it almost be called a hurricane? we love watching storms from inside a condo/room on the OREGON COAST, but I sure wouldn't like to have a tornado hit with us...

    Buckeye: thanks for letting me (us) know about more options. I like to post just from my laptop cause it seems easier, but since i do have a fairly new Iphone i could learn to use it for more than just a phone, text, emails and looking at threads. just an FYI cause I posted the D9 and the drive...

    Buckeye: i'm not familiar with Google drive, but just guessing I'd say it's kinda like the CLOUD? sounds like you have got it figured out for you and if you'd like to post full size I'd say you have the skills and you just are choosing to post thumbnails. yes?

    Geoduck: I picked up some self adjusting binoculars at Costco for about $75 maybe 30 years ago that still work great. i've also got a spotting scope that can either be held by hand or put on a stand. I doubt that looking through a telescope will do better on the short range (under 5 miles)...

    sorry I haven't seen those videos with turbines, but I did fly out of Tulsa in 2004 and the pilot told us over the speaker that we'd be flying at 40,000 feet cause there were close to 50 tornadoes currently. It actually looked like mountain tops covered in clouds from the air and no camera...
