@JustonStrmRider and I were mesmerized by this incredible supercell structure as the Enderlin, North Dakota EF5 tornado was occurring! This was the first official NWS-assigned EF5 tornado rating since the infamous Moore, Oklahoma Tornado on May 20, 2013. #ndwx

Just found this image of the 2021 Fagradalsfjall eruption in Iceland that I've never shared before. Being in the presence of this volcano and feeling the intense heat of the Earth on my skin was genuinely the best experience of my life and its not even close. #photography

An erupting volcano. A black spatter cone with a gap in the front has lava fountaining out, hundreds of feet into the air, smacking against the cone, and flowing along a snaking lava river toward the camera. A plume of gas rises into the air with mostly cloudy sky in the background.

Excited to announce that my method for estimating wind speeds based on lofted debris in tornadoes was used as contextual evidence for upgrading the Enderlin, ND tornado to an EF5!

a few chasers did, and yes it definitely had some rotation to it.
However, given its extreme rural nature and the fact it was on a mountain, we couldn't determine any debris signature or anything.

I am...about 70-80% sure I saw a tornado from my house in Las Vegas on Friday night.

Supercell north of town put on a spectacular lightning show, and a stovepipe-shaped cloud formed under it. Either the most convincing scud ever or I caught a truly rare desert twister.

I painted the eye of Hurricane Erin, based on video taken from Hurricane Hunter aircraft during it's Category 5 peak.

Storms of 2025 - Jeff Frame

I only lead one field course in 2025, in June. We observed the Wellfleet, Nebraska, tornado on June 16, which is a top 3 chase for me and the best tornado/structure combo of my career. We saw many oth...

StormArtz @stormartz.bsky.social · Jul 28

WELP guess my chasing plans are in South Dakota next year lmfaoo

StormArtz @stormartz.bsky.social · Jul 22

Such a wild night. We mustve been there for almost 2 hours! Sure glad we decided to turn around and take a look.

StormArtz @stormartz.bsky.social · Jul 22

We get lightning like that fairly often here, due to the unique weather conditions that the storms here have.

When hail shafts merged and just about fooled us into thinking we were seeing a massive tornado lit by rainbow lightning⚡️

This is my first blue hour / Milky Way composite. I set up the tripod at the scene I wanted, took one exposure for the landscape after sunset at about 8pm, and then another for the sky at about 10pm. I blended the two images in Photoshop, and darkened the landscape to feel more nightish. 1/2
