@lorigraceaz Keep living..... you bring a lot of inspiration to alot of people. Including me.

@MikeOlbinski Thanks Mike.

@DonnaTucson Donna!!!!! Yessssss

September 25, 2021 - this lightning bolt brought me to my knees. It came from behind me and landed in front of me. A random bolt outside the main storm. No matter how safe we try to be, there is always the chance of a random bolt. #StormHour #Arizona #girlswhochase #monsoon

@MichaelSeger Thanks Michael.

@DonnaTucson What an amazing capture, Donna! Wow!

@tknep3 Thanks. Yes. I learned alot this day. The main storm we were watching was about 6 miles away. I felt perfectly safe then BOOM!

@DonnaTucson Rouge bolts are my greatest fear but they’re usually the pretty ones (from what I see). Awesome shot!

Happy New Year!! Yesterday's New Year's day storms finished with a spectacular sunset and rainbow. Gives me hope for an amazing year ahead. #Arizona #tucson #rainbow #storm #sunset

@MikeOlbinski Drive through it before you confirm.

I'll go ahead and confim

A stormy night in Arizona in September 2022. I'm not sure what to do with all my time now that storms have gone. #StormHour #girlswhochase #tucson #Arizona #storms #thunderstorm #girlswhobolt

Beautiful!!! I love this Mike.

Goals!!!!!

@MikeOlbinski Yes, exciting but I need sleep first. I'm still not recovered from the last 4 months.

The monsoon never ends

@IbelliWeather @xWxClub Oh ya.. I couldn't agree more.

@DonnaTucson @xWxClub They might be boring, but the challenge of hunting them is satisfying.

Oct 8, 2022 - daytime lightning is usually so "ho-hum", but paired with our beautiful desert, it's not so bad. #azwx #StormHour #girlswhochase #girlswhobolt #storm #arizona #Marana
