The Peace River reached a historic crest in Arcadia (at Fl Hwy 70) after Hurricane Ian. It reached the highest water level ever recorded. Many homes and vehicles were lost. Travel is very difficult if not impossible in the region. Many homes are cut off by blocked roads. This video is a river level perspective of the damage.

First shot of mobile home that was thrown and completely destroyed is where the fatality happened. This comes after yet another long track tornado rips through Mississippi. Numerous homes destroyed and damaged. A fire station was destroyed. Trees are snapped close to the ground and evenly indicating a strong tornado EF2+. Ending shot is a beautiful sunrise over the area that was hit by a tornado just hours before.

An intense supercell produced a tornado near Sandy hook, Mississippi this evening. Lightning from the forward flank of the storm could be seen for many miles away. Upon the tornado crossing SR-35 near Hurricane Creek Road - damage was noted where numerous high tension powerpoles were snapped and in the roadway. Other structural damage was evident with metal pearlings in the road.
Significant flash flooding took place during the evening on September 28th across portions of Walton and Okaloosa Counties. Destin proper ended up receiving over a foot of rainfall and the drainage system could not handle it. Many roads ended up with deep water and stalled vehicles in them, including US-98 and FL-293 near the Mid-Bay Bridge. Credit: Brett Adair / Live Storms Media
Flooding was no match for a few vehicles who decided to go through waters of 1 to 2 feet deep in parts of Pascagoula on Sunday. Even a motorcycle went through the water like it was nothing. However, you don't know if there are pockets of deeper water when you do this. Please, turn around and don't drown. Credit: Tiffany Strunk / Live Storms Media
Flash flooding occurred overnight in the Council Bluffs area that had a radar indicated 8 inches of rainfall. Severe thunderstorms in the same area also downed some large tree branches and caused roof damage in the area. Credit: Evan Ludes / Live Storms Media
It is one of those sights that many think is only obtainable if they travel to the northern parts of the planet. An aurora, sometimes referred to as polar lights, northern lights or southern lights, is a natural light display in the Earth's sky, predominantly seen in the high-latitude regions. But in recent years the gorgeous Aurora Borealis can also be seen in some remote parts of continental US.
Zach Hargrove, from Live Storms Media, captured absolutely stunning shots of the nothern lights over North Dakota.
Here’s a little science for you. Auroras are produced when the magnetosphere is sufficiently disturbed by the solar wind that the trajectories of charged particles in both solar wind and magnetospheric plasma, mainly in the form of electrons and protons, precipitate them into the upper atmosphere due to Earth's magnetic field, where their energy is lost. The resulting ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents emits light of varying color and complexity.
That is why the Aurora shows different colors in different parts of the world. In the northern countries, it may show varying shades of blue, purple and green. Lower, it shows only the green spectrum.
In northern latitudes, the effect is known as the aurora borealis or the northern lights. The southern counterpart, the aurora australis or the southern lights, has features almost identical to the aurora borealis and changes simultaneously with changes in the northern auroral zone. The Aurora Australis is visible from high southern latitudes in Antarctica, Chile, Argentina, New Zealand, and Australia.
Bryan Snider of 'LiveStormsMedia' managed to capture this amazing microburst near the Tuscon area. A microburst is a small-scale downburst caused by a small and intense downdraft within a thunderstorm. This timelapse displays the potential danger of a common thunderstorm, especially to those in the aviation industry.
Severe damage occurred along HWY-98 in Columbia, Mississippi from a strong tornado that roared through the region on December 23rd, 2014. Brandon Clement of Live Storms Media shot the first damage images after the tornado passed.

Live Storms Media stringer, Dave Lewison, captured an amazing timelapse video of the snow piling up at his location in Poughkeepsie, New York during this week's snowfall.
A lake-effect storm dumped up to 6 feet of snow in parts of Western New York, trapping residents in their homes and stranding motorists on roadways. Live Storms Media stringer, Greg Soliday, captured footage of the historic storm in Hamburg, New York.
The moon passed between the Earth and the sun on Oct. 23rd, 2014, creating a partial solar eclipse. Live Storms Media stringer, Jason Weingart, captured footage of the event from a Texas location and put together this stunning time lapse. Credit to LiveStormsMedia.

August 31st 2014 will be a day that Live Storms Media storm chaser Danny Murphy will never forget. He encountered a tornadic thunderstorm that was filled with electricity with lightning strikes taking place nearly every second. Unfortunately, while documenting the storm, Danny was struck by what is referred to as a 'Step Leader' from the main lightning bolt seen just feet away. Luckily he survived the experience, but did suffer neurological and physical injuries from the lightning interaction, which left him in a Sioux City, Iowa hospital for 10 days.
