Just a bit off our patch, but as NWS Huntsville does cover DeKalb & Jackson Counties in the #WDEFNews12 viewing area, we wanted to make sure any deaf/hard of hearing viewers were aware of the severe weather workshop coming up in Huntsville on Tuesday, Feb 6, 2024 at
AIDB Huntsville Regional Center
4092 Memorial Pkwy SW suite 105. It is nice to see this kind of outreach from the NWS.

The congregation of Collinsville Presbyterian Church began in 1904. Soon after they were organized, they purchased a building that was 2/3rds a Methodist church and 1/3 of the building belonging to the Van Buren Lodge No. 355 F. & A. M. The Gothic Revival Church was built in the 1890s and was relocated to its current site in Collinsville in 1908. The church is still active.
Grace’s High Falls in January 2016
Little River Canyon National Preserve in Alabama’s northeast corner is a really great place to visit for some amazing scenery and a number of waterfalls. I’ve posted about two already: the main attraction, Little River Falls, and a waterfall further downstream, Martha’s Falls. Both of those are on the Little River.
Grace’s High Falls is the third easily-viewed…
A train derailed in Moore, Oklahoma today and it was caught on camera.
The derailment involves 22 train cars near the intersection of Southwest 34th and Eastern Avenue. BNSF says the train was carrying plastic pellets that do not pose a danger to the public. No injuries have been reported.
I haven't been posting these but there have been numerous derailments in the last 2 weeks. 🤔

Last night I set out to watch the meteor shower, fucked off to the mountains etc etc you know the deal. Was cold enough to break out the field tunic for probably the last time until autumn; it was nice, I needed that comfort and security.
Anyway, no sidetracking, important thing: In the same patch of woods where I found a bucket list flower in September, the indian pipe/ghost flower, I walked up on another flower I have been searching for in the wild my entire life. One of our native orchids. I've wanted to find *any* of our native orchids in the wild, and I had never been lucky enough to. Until last night, and this pink lady's slipper (Cypripedium acaule) was just there, chillin. I lost my absolute mind. The population is considered globally secure, but they have very low pollination rates, flower infrequently, and take a very long time to mature. In Alabama they have a status of "S3", which means in the state there is an estimation of 20-100 occurrences of specimens in the wild. The range is measly, vouchered specimens only having been collected in Blount, Cherokee, Clay, Cleburne, DeKalb, Jackson, Lawrence, and Madison Counties. I was beyond ecstatic to see this one. It was not tucked very far away off the beaten path, I sincerely hope it doesn't get poached.
I also, quite literally, almost got my skull stomped in by a very angry deer while I was bedded down in some grass for the meteor shower. I had to run. From a deer. I think I would have rather encountered a bear, I was at Bear Den Point after all. But, that's neither here nor there compared to the orchid.

Dade County Middle School in Trenton, Georgia was forced to go on lockdown Thursday morning after an armed suspect running from authorities was captured just yards from the school.
Dade County Sheriff Ray Cross says the suspect made their way into the area on Highway 136 from Sand Mountain around 9:15 AM, after pulling a gun on a woman in Alabama and fleeing when police there arrived.

In northeast Alabama, near Lookout Mountin, sits a church that was founded in 1907. Edna Hill Methodist Church served this rural congregation until the 1950s.
The remains of the piano that was left behind
Northeast Alabama has a number of waterfall surprises. One location that is a gem is Little River Canyon National Preserve. It’s a beautiful place to visit. The park is not as big as, let’s say, other canyons. Still, there is a 23 mile parkway/road that follows the canyon, providing awesome views.
The main waterfall is Little River Falls, which doesn’t require much hiking and is very close to a…
