Now what?


Since I work the night shift, I have a bit of quiet time during the early morning hours. This is when I catch up on Twitter and Facebook.

On September 21st, Western Pinal County was hammered by a fast moving storm. Lots of rain and wind.

Early the next morning, I noticed a Facebook post from someone who lives down in Hidden Valley. She was reporting power outages for most of the night, and storm damage in her area.

After work I went down and took some photos. After submitting them to media outlets in the area, Hidden Valley was deluged with media types looking to report on the damage.

Apparently, my photos were picked up and used on most of the TV stations during the afternoon news. I don't watch the news, but several people at work reported that they saw the pictures and heard my name mentioned.

I'm famous. For a minute or two, at least. Now what?
