2012_MD_SS_Storm | 15 | MD -- Silver Spring -- After a freak storm Ninety-mile-an-hour winds ripped through Washington DC while I was on our family reunion cruise. The event was called a "derecho" and it swept across a part of the country at this time. I ran into the effects of it near Columbus, Ohio later. |

2003_ID_Dust | 1 | Nature -- Dust storm, ID I ran across these a number of times during this trip. These are blinding storms of dust which cut away everything. The land here is so dry that you have to wonder if they should be allowed to waste our rivers trying to make agriculture work out here. |

2003_XX_Eclipse_031108 | 6 | Nature -- Lunar eclipse The full lunar eclipse was a big event so I went out periodically to freeze my butt and take photos. It was a clear night until my neighbor brought out his new telescope in time for the eclipse going total, at which point it promptly clouded up and basically stayed that way. |
2000_XX_Rainbow | 9 | Nature -- Rainbow This was taken Roanoke, Virgina and was the last of the pictures -- 125 rolls total -- that I took on my way home from the three-week cross-country trip. |

1970_XX_Eclipse | 1 | Nature -- Solar eclipse |
2017_XX_Eclipse_170821 | 13 | Nature -- Solar Eclipse The peak of the eclipse from the DC area at 2:42pm was around frames 126 and 135. It was about 80% here. |

2022_XX_Eclipse | 10 | Nature -- Total lunar eclipse The last total lunar eclipse while we were still a democracy. The moon was really low on the horizon and trees were in the way but you try what you can. |
2014_NV_Carson_Fire | 59 | NV -- Carson City -- Fire in the hills There was a lightning strike while I was there. A fire resulted. |
2008_VA_Fire | 75 | VA -- Richmond -- A small fire in the suburbs It was a "Code Red" day because of fierce winds (up to 50mph). As I was doing the Civil War driving tour around Richmond, I ran into three separate brush fires. The three were located:

(2) Near Willis Church (right before Malvern Hill in an area with... |
