@ReedTimmerUSA Sweet clover. And lots of it.

[Lyndon Anderson @prairiejournal]

@NWSBismarck got some really tiny hail at the end of this thundershower at about 2:45 p.m. 15.5 miles north of Bismarck along U.S. highway 83.

And, some circulation from a July 9 storm. Not a scientist, but this looks like a lot of rotation before it fizzles out.

@ReedTimmerUSA met you at the meet and greet in Bismarck this evening. You asked if I am a northern lights photographer. Yes, am a long time observer and photographer. These photos are from November 2025 during a strong display.

[Lyndon Anderson @prairiejournal]

@MattJZimmer I have to agree with most of this.

[Lyndon Anderson @prairiejournal]

@Patrick_Reusse Standard process (I have done this many times in my work life). Tell your internal audiences first (football players) right before you announce something so that they know first (which they should) and are not surprised. I have no doubt there will be a news conference tomorrow.

[Lyndon Anderson @prairiejournal]

@DomIzzoWDAY @WDAYSports Typical process. You don’t announce something until it’s done. And when you are going to announce, you tell your internal audience first (athletic department, football players, etc.), right before you go to the public with a news conference. This could be quick, very quick.

[Lyndon Anderson @prairiejournal]

@DomIzzoWDAY That’s the standard reply for something like this. You wait until you have something to announce before you announce.

@Ndfarmgirl1 Amendments to add micronutrients to seeds or growing crops?

[Lyndon Anderson @prairiejournal]

@NWSBismarck The remaining four photos were taken around 5:00 a.m., and were probably the most vivid of the 400+ photographs I took last night/this morning.

[Lyndon Anderson @prairiejournal]

@NWSBismarck Big time northern lights display last evening. The first photo was taken looking south (as the auroral oval was south of my Baldwin, N.D. location. The colors all blended together to look unlike any photos I have taken since the late 1990s.

[Lyndon Anderson @prairiejournal]

@NWSBismarck That photo was taken about 11:15 p.m., and you could not really see any red looking south, but the camera picked it up.

[Lyndon Anderson @prairiejournal]

@NWSBismarck Check out the rotation in this clip around 7 pm on July 9.

[Lyndon Anderson @prairiejournal]

@ReedTimmerUSA @NWSBismarck These photos were taken just before and after 9:00 p.m. About 15 miles north of Bismarck. With Ring cameras (remember, I am the stationary storm chaser 😁😁😁). I believe this storm was tornado warned.

[Lyndon Anderson @prairiejournal]

@NWSBismarck 15 miles north of Bismarck along highway 83. Looking NE

[Lyndon Anderson @prairiejournal]

@NWSBismarck what is on ground?

[Lyndon Anderson @prairiejournal]

@NWSBismarck

[Lyndon Anderson @prairiejournal]

8:50 pm. 15 miles north of Bismarck

[Lyndon Anderson @prairiejournal]

@NWSBismarck 15 miles north of Bismarck at about 8:40 pm

[Lyndon Anderson @prairiejournal]

Should say p.m. (I posted this after midnight so have an excuse).

[Lyndon Anderson @prairiejournal]

Haven’t seen that for awhile — purple fringing on the lower altitudes of the northern lights. Caused by a reaction with nitrogen. Quite the treat. Taken at 10:55 a.m. on Friday, April 4 during a decent substorm, 15 miles north of Bismarck, N.D.
