Very VERY busy night at the news desk for BNVN

 06/17/2009 BNVN tornado and storm report blog

I thought I was going to have an easy day getting stuff caught up on the website today but that was a major FAIL.  I was suckered into going out and ended up in SW MN and ended up too far to the west so I got a tan when the tornadoes were hitting Austin, MN and another one in my first target area up west of Alexandria MN.  Oh well, can't get them all but wait, I can't but BNVN can...

Today was insane for the news desk.  We had a ton of video come in. 

Here is some up close and personal footage from Brandon Ivey in NE.  http://www.lightningboy.net/content/061709bnvnnebraskatornado2aflv 

Then Scott Weberpal was up on the same tornado http://www.lightningboy.net/content/061709bnvnauroranetornadoflv

Eric Whitehill scooped me on my first forecast out by the Red River in Western MN,  http://www.lightningboy.net/content/061709bnvndorantintahmntornadoflv

While the footage Eric shot had a decent tornado and funnel, what really gets me was that Tony and I talked about this target area at 8:00 in the morning.  I could have chased the storm, got the storm and been drinking lagers in Sioux Falls by early afternoon... 

But wait, there's more... speaking of Tony, here is his video from the night before that I did not have time to post to the website. http://www.lightningboy.net/content/06162009bnvnmennosdseverestormsflv 

But wait, there's more... just in from Brian, we have some crazy flooding and lightning video from Sarasota.  http://www.lightningboy.net/content/061709bnvnsarasotafllightninghdflv

 Yeah, it's been a pretty busy day working on a ton of content.  Now it's time to get cleaned up and rest and go and do it all over again tomorrow, er, I mean today.
