December 28, 2022. Altocumulus Standing Lenticular Clouds. Looking Northwest At Capitan Mountain. My wife got me the new Go Pro Hero Black 11 camera for Christmas. So I took off towards Ruidoso, New Mexico on Wednesday, December 28, 2022 to try it out for the first time. I've died and gone to heaven. I love this camera and can't wait to play with all of it's new features. Storm chasing with this camera is a must. Primary I shot a series of time-lapse videos of altocumulus standing lenticular clouds forming near Capitan mountain northwest of Roswell and east of Sierra Blanca Peak west of Ruidoso, New Mexico. Check out the directional wind shear activity via the different cloud levels. The public reported a peak wind gust to 83 mph on a Personal Weather Station (PWS) in Alto, north of Ruidoso. The Smokey Bear Remote Weather Station (Raws) located 1 mile northwest of Ruidoso reported a peak gust of 74 mph Wednesday afternoon. Blog Updated At 7:00 AM MST Friday, Dec 30, 202

Harper involving North Carolina’s redistricting, that case would not immediately upend the 2020 Presidential Election. In contrast, a little-known case that appeared recently on the Court docket could do just that. The case of Brunson v. Adams, not even reported in the mainstream media, was filed pro se by ordinary American citizens – four brothers from Utah — seeking the removal of President Biden and Vice President Harris, along with 291 U.S. Representatives and 94 U.S. Senators who voted to certify the Electors to the Electoral College on January 6, 2021 without first investigating serious allegations of election fraud in half a dozen states and foreign election interference and breach of national security in the 2020 Presidential Election.
