We had a terrific lightning and thunder storm tonight. decided to grab my phone and head out so that I could get some good video of it. Got the “shock of my life” so to speak.

Kids, don’t try this at home!

For another great Lightning video, check out what my friend Gogen has here.

I shot this at 5am. Once the Morning News goes on the air, I take a walk outside to get some fresh air. This is the best time of my day.

After a long week last week, our two morning anchors, Megan and Justin got all giddy during a commercial spot while off air. I was in the editing bay watching the show and was lucky enough to pull out my camera, shoot at the monitor and catch this moment as it happened.

The people I work with are just fantastic and this video shows you how fun and good natured the people are there.

Relaxing outside on the patio can tend to be rather dangerous at times. I have to always keep my eyes and ears open just in case.

It’s been a really hard year for Iowans.

Beatings from tornados and floods over the past few months have really taken their toll.

In Cedar Rapids, our Freedom Festival, where the majority of us go to watch fireworks and celebrate July 4th every year had to be cancelled this year.

CBS 2 News and the Kernels teamed up to celebrate the 4th of July and raise money for flood victims.
