One of the greatest plains lightning events in my memory. 4mi S of Arnett, OK 06-18-25 01:01Z ISO50 F-10 0.4sec (back bolt is stacked in from the previous photo in the burst)

Pure kryptonite for my fat ass

This app's inability to post my photos without corrupting them us actively keeping me off of here. idk what the problem is and there's no consistency with the errors so 🤷‍♂️

5 Favorite chases of 2024: 1. April 26 - Minden, IA 2. May 23 - ElDorado, OK 3. May 21 - Greenfield, IA 4. August 15 - Mustang, OK 5. May 19- Custer City, OK (Runner up is May 25- Mutual, OK with friends)

Let's put my photos of the above anvil cirrus plume in motion, and compare it to both an example of a hydraulic jump in a river, and to a fantastic simulation from Dr. Leigh Orf. I reached out to him and he confirmed it is likely what was captured! :) Simulation source: news.wisc.edu/scientists-g...

Why does nobody like the surf and turf turkey?

A tale of two months. October 2024 was the second driest October on record. November 2024 was one of the wettest Novembers on record. 🌵☔

Digging up monster 7-8"+ selenite crystals from the Great Salt Lake! 🤩

One of my photography shots from Katie, Oklahoma, on May 9, 2024. Tornado was later rated an ef4 the next day. #tornado #tornadoes #twister #storms #storm #photography #weather #chaser #repost

I had to draw this. No, but seriously. What if weasels were there to help us? No guard angels or fantastic creatures. Just weasels.

Servers may have eaten too much turkey and passed out (We’re diagnosing but it looks like a regional network connectivity issue outside our systems)

Is it storm season yet?

For #TornadoTuesday what may be my favorite little weak tornado, my first 0% tornado risk day tornado near Hoopeston, Illinois on June 29th, 2024.

Is it #tornado Tuesday? Me and @strmchsrhunterf.bsky.social were within 1000 yards of this Nebraska tornado on May 12th 2023. An unforgettable day that was also my birthday!

How about my first ever for #tornadotuesday, a stout EF-1 approaches my location near Edwards, MS on Dec 16th 2019

A departing jet streak and sagging cold front will leave the potential for some marginal severe weather across the deep south and eastern seaboard on the 28th.

Literally......

Happy… Saucer Sunday? 🛸🌩️🤘🏼 #wxsky

Share your favorite radar screenshot. Here’s mine.

One of my favorite days!

Finally cracked 500 followers on here! I got left out of the majority of the starter pack blitz so I’m happy with this more gradual growth so far! Love all of y’all ❤️

Beefy Boi alert

A #beautiful monster of a supercell looms over rural Imperial, #Nebraska in 2019. Might have to tap for full image idk yet I’m new here lol #blueskywx #newx #photography #stormhour

Now that yesterday's wordle is over, I have to show what is perhaps the most insane one I've had yet. I got every single letter right on the first guess, but every one was in the wrong spot lmao.

Oh okay sure, do your thing funky little surface low

Storm Bert now forecast by @metoffice.bsky.social to deepen to 937 hPa by 12Z Saturday west of Britain & Ireland. Per ERA5 1950-2023 maps by @burgwx.bsky.social, looks close to/exceeding (?) record minimum MSLP in November in this region arctic.som.ou.edu/tburg/produc...

A cigar shaped tornado occludes out the back of the supercell while a new tornado tried to touch down over some bluffs. Just on the Nebraska side of the border, near La Grange, WY. 06-23-23

Though line-mean midlevel shear is a bit lackluster, low level shear winds are backed almost perfectly perpendicular. This allows for efficient development of HSI vorticies which are able to be stretched by existing low level instability.

Time for a throwback to the first real “structure chase” of my career. Before this it was never something I even knew to look for, but now it is usually a high priority target. 5-16-21 Earth, TX #wxsky #wxbluesky #photography

Donley County, Texas #tornado back on April 22, 2010. I closed on my first house in Norman, Oklahoma that morning and then saw two tornadoes in the Texas Panhandle that afternoon. A very memorable day! Also hard to believe this was almost 15 years ago. #WxSky

I try not to chase at night as much anymore for… reasons related to the second photo, but night tors absolutely carry a special aura.

#weatherpicofday "Night Twisters" Various photos of nighttime tornadoes from 2003 to 2024 illuminated by lightning, power flashes, or just street lights. My 1st tornado was after dark in October of 2000. w/ Juston Drake, Jim Bishop, and Tom Santillo

📢 App Version 1.94 is rolling out today (1/5) A new release to go along with 20 million users! Open this thread for details. 🧵

Yeah the Aurora is about as cool as the night sky gets, until STEVE shows up and steals the show. I’ve only ever seen STEVE once but the show we got was INCREDIBLE. Shot with @sigmaphoto.bsky.social 14mm f/1.4 DG DN. #aurora #steve #astro #photography

About 15min before yesterday's post, the Yuma, CO tornado presented as a bright white, dead vertical, stovepipe. Unfortunately poor route choices prevented me from being closer. 08-08-23, Yuma, Colorado

One of my all time favorite chases, this strong and slow moving, and meandering EF-3 tornado lasted 30min and took on many forms from a dusty wedge to a vertical stovepipe and this gnarly cone. 08-08-23, Yuma, Colorado.

Trends in a stronger ML dry slot has presented the potential for a localized tornado outbreak across KS tomorrow. Extreme Low level CAPE with strong shear and an tons of surface vorticity should present the potential for efficient tornado producers, I wouldn't rule out a few significant tornadoes.

This was an EF-1 that touched down nw of Iowa Falls, IA on 7/28/23.

From midnight tonight into mid-late morning tomorrow a severe weather shape will come together across the TX big country into SW and SC Oklahoma.

Hammon, OK is probably my top "Coulda Been" moment this year, I'm a sucker for the muted winter colors and the composition with the gnarled tree.

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

After a wild 2024 here are 4 of my favorite images of the year. It's hard to believe the year is already almost over, Looking forward to what 2025 has to offer! #2024 #tornados #northernlights #stormchasing #severewx

Assuming we have any type of instability that evolves with this upcoming system, a backed QLCS orientation would likely set the stage for a high end tornado event reminiscent of the 12-15-21 event across NE/IA/MN

Reflections of Shiprock. Rare heavy rains left behind a large reflecting pond that provided an otherworldly view of Shiprock at sunrise. The pond was gone the next day.
