Seeing what we get to shoot these days, this was a rare case in which “ugly was welcome”. Now totally ignore the above comment when I say to you, ‘Welcome to the Group’. )

Thanks. We were just heading home and heard the activity on the scanner. We had just enough time to park and set up for the shot. Got it on video as well.
