Best of Storm Vids

So because I just learned how to upload and watch videos from Heath's camera and because y'all keep buggin' us about posting a new blog, here's some videos from the trip that we never got to post. For full view in HD double click and watch them on youtube.

Worst storm we'd ever driven in up till that point, outside Memphis, TN. Not that you can really tell how bad it was from this video, it just makes me laugh.


This was an intense storm. It was in West Texas there was NOTHING around for miles and we were basically being pelted by golf-ball sized pieces of ice. On our way to Terlingua:


My favorite. Driving through Big Bend National Park in Texas at night on our way to Terlingua. Strong winds, no rain, no thunder and huge (5 miles tall we were told) cumulonimbus clouds full of lightening. There were no street lights (or anything) so it really lit up the sky when it flashed. Iron and Wine was our Terlingua soundtrack.


Much love from Portland!
