to get another view. A new lowering had formed that corresponded to another tornado that was later surveyed. I tripoded one of my cameras to shoot video while I took stills with another. Inflow winds gusted and knocked the tripod over, landing the camera lens-first into the grass. A big, chunky grass stalk wedged in between the lens barrel and zoom ring. No broken glass, but zoom was now tight and compromised with embedded vegetation. That turned into an unfortunate repair bill later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/perezmedia.net\/ceruleanarc\/?attachment_id=2644\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"2644\" src=\"https:\/\/perezmedia.net\/ceruleanarc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img20250427-_5__6961_1280px-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/perezmedia.net\/ceruleanarc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img20250427-_5__6961_1280px-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/perezmedia.net\/ceruleanarc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img20250427-_5__6961_1280px-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/perezmedia.net\/ceruleanarc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img20250427-_5__6961_1280px-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/perezmedia.net\/ceruleanarc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img20250427-_5__6961_1280px.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/perezmedia.net\/ceruleanarc\/?attachment_id=2643\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"2643\" src=\"https:\/\/perezmedia.net\/ceruleanarc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img20250427-_5__6962_1280px-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2643\" srcset=\"https:\/\/perezmedia.net\/ceruleanarc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img20250427-_5__6962_1280px-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/perezmedia.net\/ceruleanarc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img20250427-_5__6962_1280px-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/perezmedia.net\/ceruleanarc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img20250427-_5__6962_1280px-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/perezmedia.net\/ceruleanarc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/img20250427-_5__6962_1280px.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Pointy lowering from N.
