Friday near the Oklahoma City tornadoes

Like I posted to my facebook Friday morning, I was near Oklahoma City on Friday. I was there to chase and to snap a few pics.

I was also there to keep people safe. Thankfully, I was granted a chance to do both.

I’ll try to get some pictures posted soon, along with a complete recap of the entire event. I was lucky enough to be a safe distance from the storms and I had a chance to help – perhaps – save two lives in the process.

Details coming this week.
