    Video: ‘When I saw the devastation, I just went back home and cried,’ Tornado in Cave City leaves town torn apart

    LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is asking a federal agency to reverse its decision about storm victims in the state.

    The governor’s office said in a Friday statement that Sanders is appealing to FEMA to reverse its decision to deny the Arkansas Major Disaster Declaration for individual and public assistance. The declaration was for the storms and tornadoes that crossed the state on March 14 and 15. Arkansas to appeal federal denial for individual assistance after March 14 storms

    The governor’s office statement said the following counties are in the original request: Baxter, Stone/Sharp, Hempstead, Independence/Randolph, Sharp/Randolph, Nevada, Independence/Jackson, Randolph/Clay, Woodruff, Clay, and Greene counties.

    “Arkansas communities are still recovering from this spring’s tornadoes, as the sheer magnitude of this event resulted in overwhelming amounts of debris, widespread destruction to homes and businesses, the tragic loss of three lives, and injuries to many others,” The governor said. “To relieve the burden on these counties, cities, and towns, I am appealing FEMA’s decision to deny Arkansas’ Major Disaster Declaration request.” Noem says she plans to ‘eliminate FEMA’

    Sanders requested the Major Disaster Declaration relief on April 2. On April 18, she asked for a 30-day extension of time.

    I have a chase sapphire reserve (visa) that has a credit limit of $24,000. I don’t understand why you keep picking cards with low credit limits. Do your research first then apply. Plus credit limits are based on your history with the bank and your annual income. If you have a low income, then they won’t approve a large credit limit.

    Also do you not read the sign on the stores you shop at? Pretty sure they advertise which card network they accept.

    You can also literally call customer service and ask for the stipulations for an increase.

    Credit cards are not your clothes.

    Stopping down doesn’t always give you sharper images. You may run into diffraction softening.

    Focusing and then stopping down may shift your focal plane. Try to focus at your chosen aperture.

    Try to use the electronic shutter function for astro photography. Even the shutter moving across the sensor can cause vibrations.

    The 500 rule is useful for astro, but with modern higher resolution sensors, the NPF rule is better suited.

    Not getting amazing astro shots? You may need to modify or buy a camera that is sensitive to Hα (Hydrogen-alpha) removing the infrared/IR filter off your camera will allow you to shoot full spectrum. Although you will need something to only allow 450 to 520nm and from 640 to 690nm into your sensor.

    Sensors will always have dead or stuck pixels. You can take 10-20 black frames to try to help your image processor find and erase them.

    Optical vignetting is common when you shoot wide open. Stop down 2-3 stops from your max aperture to try and remove the effect.

    Shooting expired film is fine, just make sure you over expose 1 stop per decade it’s expired. So a 20 year old film, shoot 2 stops over exposed.
