CORYYYYYYY RAHHHHH 🔥

Bullish on myself as a top tier storm photographer 🌪️ I started this journey in 2021 and evolved from someone who simply documented severe weather into a photographer who composes compelling, fine art images that evoke emotion and tell a story. Ready for what’s next in 2025. 🤘🏻

Upward lightning in Electra, TX on 4.27.24. @timbacawx.bsky.social and I waited 2 hours for this scene to finally unfold! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Per NWS Little Rock, one of Friday night's tornadoes near Diaz, Arkansas, was a high-end EF-4.

“It was a bust” Nope. Multiple significant tors and fatalities occurred with at least 37 tornado reports so far. Just because you didn’t get your disaster porn in a heavily populated area doesn’t mean the forecast was a bust. Some of y’all need therapy.

Intense wording from the SPC about today’s potential tornado outbreak across MS and AL. #wxsky

🚨NEW CHASER FEATURE ALERT! Today, “Meet The Chasers” chatted with @chriskridler.bsky.social & Alethea Kontis, a longtime storm chasing duo who deftly weave science, writing and chasing into creative writing and books. blog.girlswhochase.com/chris-alethea/

Not to discount the severe weather threat on Friday, but multiple high-res models are depicting supercells in a very favorable environment for tornadoes across portions of the South on Saturday as early as late Saturday morning

Lack of staff is leading to the loss of even more balloon observations. I look at hundreds of these data points daily for my job. Both observed & model derived. These balloon observations can be critical in accurate severe thunderstorm forecasts & watch issuance. They improve model accuracy as well.

At the OB/GYN getting my IUD replaced today (because who knows if they’ll still be legal soon). I ask what my pain management option are. My provider says, “Well the standard is none and your insurance likely won’t cover it.” I’m not having it this time around.

A timely read

"America does not need a 'resistance,' or stale slogans, or people putting those slogans on little paddles. It needs an opposition party that boldly defends the nation’s virtues, the rule of law, and the rights of its people," writes @radiofreetom.bsky.social:

Last night a damaging tornado in Lewisville, TX went unwarned. This will likely be our reality moving forward as DOGE/Trump continue to slash NOAA & the NWS. NWS offices have been understaffed and underfunded for decades with many mets pulling double shifts during tornado outbreaks.

I’m an American with #Trudeau.

There is no level of dumb this man cannot reach.

The dry line is unzipping and the atmosphere is primed for a potential nocturnal tornado outbreak tonight across TX and OK. Oh, and a crucial Texas radar is down within the tornado watch box. Stop cutting NOAA and the NWS. People’s lives are at stake.

Just submitted my Storm Photos of the Year portfolio! Regardless of the content outcome, I’m incredibly proud of my growth as a storm photographer and chaser! 🌪️📸

It’s a little baby Slight risk. Easing into spring, Oklahoma!

Please see attached for our statement in support of NOAA’s National Weather Service. This is an issue that affects us all, as chasers, weather enthusiasts, scientists — and anyone who experiences weather. That’s literally all of us.

The Girls Who Chase platform launched three years ago, today. 💜 Our role today continues to expand and evolve, and becomes ever more important as we recognize the growing need for training, support and community in the weather space. 🧵⬇️

#oklahoma sure knows how to put on a show. Crazy #tornado with amazing structure!

Scenes from 2024 helping calm my nervous system in the chaos of today! Took a bit of a breather on social lately but excited to become more active here! 💙

May 2023, Levelland, TX - more famously known for the Morton Tornado it produced earlier in its life. While out with Extreme Photo Workshops with @timbacawx.bsky.social & @laurenbacawx.bsky.social #WxSky #txwx #supercell #lightning #stormchaser #severewx

Some #newmexico #aurora for everyone today!

Welcome my wonderful husband to Bluesky! 🌪️🫶🏻

I’m Tim, and I grew up in eastern #NewMexico. My fascination with #storms began when my mom introduced me to the movie "Twister" and the series "Storm Chasers." In 2017, I started #stormchasing and documenting them with a DSLR. I founded Extreme #Photo Workshops in 2021 to share my passion.

GWC 2025 CALENDAR: MAY - Photographer @laurenbacawx.bsky.social captured a wedge #tornado near Harlan, Iowa on April 26 this year. Thanks for bringing the edge of chaos to our month of May, Lauren! To purchase a calendar: tinyurl.com/36xp83j6

These are the highest SPC day 1 convective outlooks issued for each location in 2024 so far.

Does being in the tornado count? 😅

A violent wedge tornado devours the Iowa countryside on April 26, 2024. One of 12 tornadoes I witnessed during this prolific outbreak across the Midwest. 🌪️

Ready for some second severe season action tomorrow! Until then I will reminisce about tornadoes in Iowa 🌪️🌪️🌪️

As seen on Twisters. Still pinching myself ☺️ 📍 Lockett, TX | 4.23.21

OK...I've created a starter pack for #WxSky (because that's what we're calling it) About 30 stormchasers, meteorologists, & photographers. If you'd like to be on or off the list let me know. You can follow all these with one click or pick and choose. go.bsky.app/BSfDE7c

Gonna have to leave this here for today. #WIP

The kindness and camaraderie here is so refreshing. Let the Xodus begin!

Can I post this? Is this something I can post?

Great photos! It's strongly recommended to describe the photos in the alt text. It's the best way to get maximum reach for your photos since some people block photos without alt text, plus it's an easy thing to do to help vision impaired people enjoy the content too!

I'm just going to do a lot of reposting & following of stormchasers today since it's #StormChaserDay (I just made that up but I'm so excited to see them show up)

Hi BlueSky! Will be posting here a lot more with all the ToS changes on the bird app. Photographers and storm chasers, let’s be friends! 🌪️📸

Hey remember last fall when I was posting about the Girls Who Chase photo competition? Well they're here! @girlswhochase.bsky.social Give them a follow
