With a hiatus in the active weather, as we enjoy a cool snap, let's take a look at some weather photographs that Daniel Burton, a third-year student at Virginia Tech, took this summer in North Carolina. Daniel is a political science major who volunteers for the Southwest Virginia Mountain Rescue, a search and rescue group, and serves on the student advisory committee to Virginia Tech Student Programs. These photos, linked below, were shot at various times this summer near Lake Norman in Mecklenburg County, N.C., just north of Charlotte. Daniel said by e-mail: "I have always been interested in weather to some extent" and that he is "currently on a crusade to learn as much as I can about thunderstorms "
