Exploring North Dakota, The Midwest, and Beyond

The weather has always fascinated me. When I was a kid it also terrified me. I had one too many nightmares of dying in a tornado. Don’t ask me where I got that idea from as a four-year-old, but it is one of the first vivid nightmares I can remember […]
