Crazy Video!

The driver of the car below claims to have been cut off while making a right hand turn from Roeser on to 7th St here in Phoenix.  Not entirely sure why she was driving so fast!  Doesn’t really add up.  Anyway, she was cited for failing to yield along with driving without a license and driving with no insurance.  Crazy!!

What!?

Who understands what she is saying?

"But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy…"

Arizona Lightning

Last night Phoenix was treated to a lightning show!  During the hour that I made the photo below, the weather service counted over 4800 lightning strikes.  This is called constant lightning and it’s really really cool.  The night sky is just full of flashes and is almost never dark because of it.  Take a look at the video I took below from my bedroom window.  Also, there’s a photo gallery below for your enjoyment as well.  After taking these photos and the video, I ended up losing power (for 5 hours!) because the monsoon that was following this lightning show finally hit.  It was what I would imagine a hurricane is like.  The wind was blowing and the rain was falling horizontally.  Some crazy stuff, but I love Arizona weather!

Another Video?

So, I had to share these videos.  These were taken back on August 4th at the Cubs/Astros game in Chicago.  The game was suspended for severe weather.  The videos below show what it was like before and during the almost tornado that hit the area.  The loud sirens in the background are the tornado warning sirens going off.  The announcer at the game told everyone in the stands to seek immediate shelter.  The entrances were closed and fans were kept from leaving for their own safety.  Kind of crazy.

Jay Brannan

Jay Brannan released his album recently and I’ve listened to it a few times already.  It’s pretty good.  I’ve included a YouTube clip of “Housewife” which is one of my favorites from the album.  Check it out below.

BB10 – Steven’s Goodbye Message

Poor Steven!  You weren’t even on the show for two weeks!  How sad.  Semi amusing farewell speech given by Steven on Wednesday night.  I’ve embeded it below.

Since I’m on the subject of Big Brother, let me just say that I hope Keesha puts up two people from the following list – April, Libra, Ollie, Jessie.  Fingers crossed!

Space!

I had to post this… maybe you’ve seen it on YouTube.  The pictures stitched together to make a video show what Earth looks like from deep space.  Killer!

Monsoon Season – 2008!

It’s officially started!!  Monsoon Season is here for the next few weeks and it has started with a bang.  Yesterday we had a crap load of rain fall over an hours time.  Some areas of Phoenix received over an inch and a half of rain.  That may not sound like much to some of you but you must remember we live in a desert.  Below is a photo I took outside of my window.  Normally you can see houses across the way, not today!  Also, the YouTube video below is the sound of the rain on my window.  We never have a monsoon rain without wind.  Good times!
