Spent a couple days Upstate New York photographing the people and town of Prattsville which was devastated in the Hurricane Irene 5 years ago by flooding waters. The story also took me to Albany where I photographed the resulting weather forecasting technology that was developed and implemented in the wake of the disaster. Read the full store here.

This is a test tumblr post. Looks like I can’t post text between the images which is a tad frustrating...

Pct of Normal Rainfall from 10/1 to 12/16. As you can see, we’re starting to dry out here in the Sooner state as drought begins to creep back in. Seems like we were running a huge surplus across much of the state not long ago. This stuff just sneaks up on you.

Last 30 days of rainfall in Oklahoma. This time last year, this map was almost completely empty.

You thought.
