The Seymour, TX EF3 tornado from less than a mile away.
we could hear the roar from it, though at the time @zyrax.us and I thought it was the wind rushing thru the wind turbines at the time.
First time hearing a tornado roar, Freight Train my ass. Shit sounded like a jet engine from hell.

I missed thunderstorm sunsets #txwx
Either I'm running these too hard with accessories, or there's another mystery electrical issue from that time the alternator cooked the system a while back. I also see other E owners recommending a beefier battery, I think I'll try that next time if this one dies
Maintenence time once again on the chase rig

Went thru and stacked some of my lightning shots from Fort Stockton TX in Late April

me and @zyrax.us were chillin on the side of the road under the stars, was a great time
Nice! I wish I'd stopped for some still shots. I was trying to intercept it at the highway, but right as it got there, it roped out

Twas the strangest electrical storm Ive ever seen. And ive seen a LOT of lightning!

Heres a composite of video frames showing the insane colors of lightning.
When hail shafts merged and just about fooled us into thinking we were seeing a massive tornado lit by rainbow lightning⚡️

Throwback to Fort Stockton Magic in deep west Texas. April 26, 2025 #txwx #sunset #supercell #hondaelement
into the whale's mouth this morning #txwx #wxsky
After it died down, I went in and sampled some hailstones for a report to the NWS
Radar screenshot of the height of it
Hailcore dump from birth to intercepting the edge of it. This is where I sampled those two-inch stones 5/28/25 #kswx #wxsky
Arguably, Eldorado was stronger, but it was rated at EF2 in the end. I've CHASED stronger, like with the Idabel OK EF4 tornado, but in that case it became wrapped in rain before I started filming and got away from me after blocking the road with trees
Arnett is now the strongest rated tornado I've documented, now rated by the NWS as EF3
Throwback to this absolute joy of a tornado to chase last year near El Dorado, OK for #tornadotuesday

a collage of the incredible and bizarre rainbow lightning storm near Lampasas, TX on May 1.

My friend @wxdragon.bsky.social and I were flabbergasted as the skies strobed the entire color spectrum, for over an hour!

Shoutout and extremely grateful credits to @rabbitiswise.bsky.social who caught me on his gopro diving into the Arnett tornado. Dream shot!!

busting in Oklahoma is still a pretty good time if you can stay ahead of the memorial day weekend convergence #okwx
It's struggling but I can tell it wants to pop off. Fingers crossed! I'll take naders after dark at this point, but I'm hoping I dont have to
