If your local National Weather Service office has paused or canceled spotter training this year, here’s a great option! 🌪️ @comet-meted.bsky.social has teamed up with the National Weather Service (NWS) to develop a (totally free!) online storm spotter certification course. 🌪️⛈️⚡️ More info: 🧵⬇️

It’s really hard to establish a sense of scale for the Kilauea eruptions, even being here in person - so a big thank you to the USGS folks who conveniently positioned their vehicles near the crater wall to collect tephra during Episode 14. Do you see em? 🌋🛻

Thanks @stormhour.bsky.social for the love! 🫶🏻

Ferns are cool.

Hawaii. The end.

Taking in Kilauea, March 4, 2025 🌋 It’s only fitting that a photo include Mauna Loa, my first volcano, that changed my photography (& interests) forever. I love how it looms behind Kilauea, overseeing the new eruption.

No matter what is going on in the world, today is a day for celebration. Today we celebrate International Women’s Day. On this day, we honor the social, economic, and cultural achievements of women worldwide. We see you, and we honor you. 💜

Anyone for a nice jaunt to Mordor, ahem, the Park? 😚🌋
