Our Strange Sky: The Lightning Skies of Huntsville or The Gods Must be Showy

8/3/11 Lightning in Northeast Huntsville

In the early days of August, Huntsville was witness to a fantastic lightning show. We attempted to take video but our phone is on its last legs after an unfortunate incident regarding a washing machine. It took some small doing but we found others who captured the phenomenon(in photograph and on video) and shared with the world at large.

Below the jump is a pilot’s video(markopenguin) of the skies filled with lightning attacks.

Albertville Man Finds Baby Falcons on Shed, Streams them Live on Internet

Jay Mostella noticed earlier this week that a falcon had made a nest in his shed. He found that two of the three babies had fallen behind a pole, and were unable to get out or be fed. Mostella did some quick research and decided to step in to help.

Mostella pulled the babies out of the hole and hand-fed them worms, because they didn’t have enough strength to stand on their own. After feeding the babies, he and his family put them back in the nest. Mostella then set up a live webcam so he could watch them and see if the mother returned to care for them. She did, and so did the father.

He’s not doing this for money so in effort to save bandwidth exclusively for those willing to watch, we’re not embedding the video here. You can follow any of the links below and get your fill of nature in the raw.
