⚡ OWATONNA—THIS IS WHAT WAS ROLLING IN WHILE MOST OF THE CITY WAS SLEEPING! ⚡

The approaching severe weather meant I couldn’t conduct my normal overnight lost-pet searches. So, during the brief window before conditions deteriorated, I captured the storm moving across Southern Minnesota—and the sky absolutely EXPLODED with lightning!

This was one of the most incredible lightning displays I have ever captured. Watch it full-screen and tell me: Did this storm wake you up? Comment your town and tell me what it looked like where you were!

Please SHARE this so the rest of Minnesota can see what rolled through overnight!

Stay weather-aware and bring your pets inside. Storms can frighten animals and cause them to bolt through doors, jump fences or slip out of their collars.

⚡ OWATONNA—THIS IS WHAT WAS HEADED OUR WAY WHILE MOST OF THE CITY WAS SLEEPING! ⚡

Normally, this is when SkyView Drone Services would be out searching for a missing dog or cat. But with severe weather approaching, the conditions weren’t safe for a normal overnight search mission.

So, during the brief window before the storm moved in, I decided to capture it rolling across Southern Minnesota—and the sky absolutely EXPLODED with lightning!

These are some of the most incredible storm photographs I have ever captured. Watching the lightning illuminate the clouds from the inside was unreal.

Open the photos full-screen and tell me which one is your favorite! Please SHARE this post so the rest of Minnesota can see what rolled through while most people were sleeping.

Please stay weather-aware—and bring your pets inside! Storms can frighten animals and cause them to bolt through doors, jump fences or slip out of their collars.

Saw some weird things flying around in the sky tonight. I could only see them with thermal. This was while i was checking out the moon tonight and saw something fly past it.. Check it out!

I went looking for the northern lights…and discovered my Matrice 4T can practically double as a telescope! 🤯🌙

I zoomed in on the moon and captured an incredible view of the lunar eclipse. I definitely wasn’t expecting this when I launched the drone!

I took the Matrice 4T out tonight hoping to catch a glimpse of the aurora borealis—but ended up discovering something completely unexpected!

I had no idea this drone could practically double as a telescope. I zoomed in on the moon and captured some incredible photos of the lunar eclipse. 🌕🌑

I went looking for the northern lights and came home with a front-row seat to an eclipse. Nights like this are exactly why I love flying!

Which photo is your favorite?

Owatonna, you’ve never seen the Steele County Free Fair like THIS! 😍🎡🔥

The lights. The rides. That sunset. Our hometown fair looks absolutely incredible from above! 🌅

My drone was giving me some trouble, so I didn’t get as much footage as I wanted—but I couldn’t keep this view to myself.

What’s your favorite part of fair week? 👇

08/24/2026

OK, OWATONNA… OUR FAIR LOOKS INCREDIBLE FROM ABOVE! 😍🎡✨

The Steele County Free Fair is always something special, but seeing the entire fairgrounds light up against that Minnesota sunset? That’s a whole different experience. 🌅

I’ll be honest—the drone I decided to use was giving me some trouble, so I didn’t get nearly as many photos as I wanted. But there was no way I wasn’t sharing the ones I managed to capture!

From the Ferris wheel to the midway, every corner of the fair was glowing. Pretty cool seeing our hometown like this. ❤️

🎢 What’s your favorite ride or fair food?

🔁 Share this with someone who loves fair week as much as we do!
