Real scenes, captured by a real photographer will always outrank AI images 😎 📌 Onaga, Kansas • August 14, 2024

Hey all! I've been Co-Developing this project with @twisterkid34.bsky.social for about a month now, and we've made some changes to how the interface works, and also included a 'How to Report' section. (1/3)

Finally logged back into BlueSky after breaking my phone in May 😅 Hope everyone has been doing well lately. (Aurora picture from March 21, 2025 from northwest Missouri)

Meteor Shower Eta Aquarids will peak Monday morning and Tuesday morning, giving increased viewing opportunities to see upwards of ~50 meteors per hour. - Peak time will be 3:45am through Twilight. - You'll want to look East-Southeast. - Ensure you're in an area with little to no light pollution.

Some highlights of yesterdays chase in Illinois! Mini-Supercell structure was amazing, with beautiful striations and crisp cloud features! We also spotted a tornado north of Vernon, Illinois -- The tornado was rated EF-2 with wind speeds up-to 114mph.

Chipotle drop-off = successful Thank you, NWS Memphis, for everything and for allowing us to come in, eat, and chat for a couple of hours. Thank you to everyone who donated to help pay for Chipotle. You all are amazing!

Those who support this also support innocent lives being at risk due to lack of severe weather warnings and research to better understand our atmosphere. All because you wanted to save a buck. 🤡

If you're in the "weather community" and you voted for this administration, you should be ashamed of yourself. to all of my friends who work for NOAA / NWS, we stand with you and we're wishing the best for you. Thank you all for everything you've done and *hopefully* will continue to do.

I'll always be amazed that this crazy planet we call Earth can create such complex and beautiful storms like this. 💚☁️

One of my favorite chase days from 2024 was the June 13th cell near Lancaster, Missouri, which produced nearly 5" hailstones. #mowx This storm went from initial radar blip to producing very large hail within less than 60 minutes. 👇Sounding and hailstone photo in first reply👇

Yall! Go follow Andy! ❤️

Weather friends, I know a lot of you chased the May 25, 2023 (nearly) stationary and photogenic supercell near Grady, New Mexico. I want to see your photos!!!

Weather friends, what's your favorite example of explosive storm initiation to supercell characteristics in a short period of time? Mine is May 25, 2024 where a storm initiated in southern Kansas and went tornado warned within <60 minutes.

Everything reminds me of May :(

Out of all the times I've been fortunate to photograph the Northern Lights from northwest Missouri, the most memorable session goes to the night of October 06, 2024. This was the first time I saw the Northern Lights with my eyes from Missouri! (1/2)

Is there such thing as "Too much lead time" for a tornado warning? What do you think? Let me hear your thoughts.

2024... What a wild year it has been. Photo 1: 05/26/2024 - Mountain View, Missouri EF-3 Photo 2: 04/30/2024 - Westmoreland, Kansas EF-3 Photo 3: 04/26/2024 - Mount Ayr, Iowa EF-1 Photo 4: 05/21/2024 - Carbon, Iowa EF-3

2024... the year I became obsessed with lightning photography ⚡️ Show me your favorite lightning photos that you took!

Thank you, Cameron, for giving me an excuse to go back to slightly re-edit a photo I took on May 18, 2023. Subtle things like redoing lighting and removing powerlines can make a difference in a photo!

Spotify Wrapped? Nah, let me see your 2024 Weather Wrapped! (Thank you @wickydubswx.bsky.social for creating this!)

I created a starter pack of storm chasers. If you would like to be added to this starter pack, leave a comment! Please reshare, and tag people you think belong in this pack. Use #wxsky #wxpics and #stormchasing Let’s get beautiful weather into people’s feeds! go.bsky.app/KMshJUU

00z HRRR. Kansas. 2pm thru 5pm. That's the post. Goodnight.

hi, since we're posting about the Chiefs losing... here is a picture of a supercell so it maybe reaches the algorithm. kthx byyyeeeee <3

August 08, 2023 / South of Yuma, CO — A rain wrapped tornado emerges from the curtains of blinding rain shortly before rapidly dissipating. - Did anyone else happen to photograph this #tornado? It would've been at least 30 minutes after the initial and very photogenic EF-3.

I made a starter pack of storm chasers. Some of the names you’ve heard, and some you may not. If you want beautiful #wx photography in your feed, this is for you. Repost please. go.bsky.app/KMshJUU #wxsky #photography #wxpics #wxtwitter

Bluesky being in the news on X for being offline because of influxed traffic has got to be one of the best things of 2024. Elon Muskrat really is pushing everyone off of his crap-show of a platform and onto here! We welcome all with open arms!

A lesser known tornado from April 26, 2024 is the Redding, Iowa tornado. This tornado would be the first spawn of 3 tornadoes from this cyclical supercell. I positioned myself west of the storm near Fletchall Township, Missouri where I captured these 3 photos at 0028z. (More in Replies)

Reports of naked eye Aurora visibility in PA, MN right now as a very large substorm is underway! I'd love to see where else this is currently being photographed at!

WOW! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL substorm ongoing right now in Maine!!!

Data looks good... Livecam looks good... GOES looks amazing... Large substorm could occur at any time! and of course it's cloudy where I am 😂

It's almost been an entire month since the Northern Lights have made a proper appearance to the mid-latitudes. 🥲 Hoping the sun launches a good flare at us soon! When's the last time you saw the Northern Lights? Post your pics in the replies!

It's good to see the influx of users here in the past few weeks due to various events. Welcome all to BlueSky! We're thrilled you're here. Here's some of what you can expect from me! :)

Traffic on Hwy 24 in Limon, Colorado at a standstill as stranded truckers use the center of the road as their overnight parking space. Local PD trying to get folks to start moving again. I am LIVE on YouTube once again monitoring this significant snowstorm. www.youtube.com/live/20T-PDU...

Motorists coming off of I-70 EB in Limon, Colorado unable to take the exit ramp due to a stalled semi-truck.

8" of snowfall where there aren't any significant snowdrifts in Limon... Snowdrift totals upwards of 24" in some spots. #cowx

LIVE on YouTube chasing blizzard-like conditions in Colorado: www.youtube.com/live/ATrGMH9...

Tis a bit snowy here in Limon, Colorado..

STRONG Tornado threat tomorrow early PM hours just west of the Kansas City metro. Timing varies, but I will be live around 12pm.

Share with me your overhead Aurora pictures / time-lapses <3

I'll never say no to posting a video of a wedge under (almost) blue skies.

While we're all waiting for the arrival of our X1.8 CME, here's a time-lapse I put together with images from my Galaxy S23 Ultra showcasing a substorm + SAR Arc combo from October 06 :)

We're so back.

Trying a new livestream format tonight, going over the impacts of the X3.3 CME that was launched from the sun this past Wednesday. Should only be a 30 minute livestream! www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWjh...

Pretty substantial CME impact from our X3 solar flare that occurred on Wednesday from sunspot region 13869. Questions arose if this CME would even impact Earth due to its launch orientation. It is unknown at this time if we may see favorable Aurora conditions from this CME, but only time will tell!

If I were to tell you a supercell went up and became tornado warned within 45 minutes in this environment, what would your reaction be?

Edited lightning photos from last night in northeast Kansas. While the entire system lacked in structure and overall visibility, it definitely made it for it in amazing lightning activity. 🗓 October 24, 2024 📌 Nortonville, Kansas 📸 #Canon EOS 2000D / Rebel T7 ⚙️ ISO 100 / 10" Exposure / F5.6
