After posting on Dr. Master's main blog, I have decided to make a post on my side, so that (at least for me) it will be easier to find in the future for reference.
Don't know if anyone has seen this yet, it is pretty cool, every once in a while I go through the archives, today I just clicked on the site for fun and BAM!, got an amazing sprite photo + aurora. The only one known of its kind. That's one lucky photographer. Astronomy Picture of the Day  Explanation: What's that in the sky? It is a rarely seen form of lightning confirmed only about 25 years ago: a red sprite. Recent research has shown that following a powerful positive cloud-to-ground lightning strike, red sprites may start as 100-meter balls of ionized air that shoot down from about 80-km high at 10 percent the speed of light and are quickly followed by a group of upward streaking ionized balls. The above image, taken a few days ago above central South Dakota, USA, captured a bright red sprite, and is a candidate for the first color image ever recorded of a sprite and aurora together. Distant storm clouds cross the bottom of the image, while streaks of colorful aurora are visible in the background. Red sprites take only a fraction of a second to occur and are best seen when powerful thunderstorms are visible from the side. 
....is.....First Lady Michelle Obama. Here is her speech delivered to the graduates. One thing to note is that when she was done, she handed each graduate his/her diploma, and gave each one a hug. All 160 grads.
MRS. OBAMA: Yes! (Applause.) Wow. Good afternoon, everyone! Yes. I am thrilled to be here. And go, Royals. You all are awesome. (Applause.) So proud of you. This is very touching. This is the only high school graduation I'm doing this ...
I guess in 1864 hurricane meant something different than what it means today. On this date in 1864:
The Nashville Dispatch reports on May 12 "The storm of wind and rain which visited our city on Tuesday [10th] evening, we learn, has been particularly destructive in the vicinity of Nashville for miles around. In the region of country skirting the Nolensville Pike, the storm which amounted to a perfect hurricane, in its course uprooted trees, tore down fenc...
So, he most likely does not want me to share this with the world, but I couldn't resist.
Hey Nathan… whenever you can make a little free time in your heavily busy agenda to come the humble WU blog to see the good old fellas (who may not be worth your valuable time) and who would smile at you after making presence by posting a comment… ((wow Max… how far can you take things, very dramatic.. [I know]…lol))
When I have time I'll come back.
School tests are coming, but before them is AP tests, concert for band, solo test, graduation, and general hell. I'll check the blogs if I have time in between, but until May 24 passes, I doubt I shall be on much. See y'all around.
