It's been 7 years since shooting 720p video was acceptable (or more), and it has also been 7 years since the most impactful tornado outbreak in December in Illinois. This one was the last of six we saw before the sun completely set at 4:30 PM 🫠

When storms look like spaceships I try to imagine what it would have been like a thousand years ago before there was widespread knowledge of the science that could explain why a spaceship is floating on by

This hybrid tornado was arguably second coolest thing to happen in the vicinity of North Platte, Nebraska in 2025. The coolest thing, obviously, was Chick-fil-a giving me an extra chicken tender that one time

A collection of different - yet oddly similar - things on the high plains. Watching the sun set to the west while a massive storm rages in between is one of life's guilty pleasures.

A storm with its tornado, parading through canyons in Texas, shows off the whole anatomy of a supercell. Nothing I wouldn't give to have had a road in from the northeast on this one, but nope.

In the year of everything awesome in storm chasing world, the monsoon has been nonexistent. So I'll take whatever heavily cropped, slightly overexposed bolts I can get 😀

One year ago today I was making what may be the easiest forecast of my life in central South Dakota. This long-lived tornado was just the icing we all knew was coming to top off the cake.

Out of the small handful of storms I have actually chased in 2025, the majority of them have been terrible. And yet several of them, including this one, keep breaking my windshield anyway. You're supposed to be good if you want the right to do that, storm.

This, somehow, is the "other" thing that day two years ago. I saw that the bigger tornado earlier detached and stayed west of the parent storm for much of its life, so I stayed west of the storm from then on and it paid off with the dumbest sunset I will ever see.

I've never really known what to share from this storm - the twins, the structure, the stationary stovepipe, or the ropeout - so here's all of the above. Two years ago to the day and it has not been topped since.

It's been two years since a tornado took three lives in Perryton, Texas along a zippering dryline. I've never posted my video of that tornado. This one is a different tornado - it occurred a half hour or so later south of town and did no damage.

I couldn't chase on Mulvane day since I was 8 years old (bad excuse, I know), so here's my June 12 anniversary contribution. Smashing my windshield to bits in the baseball sized hail to get into this spot was a wild choice, but it worked out.

A vertical, wide shot of a dusty tornado in Texas back in April. There's hopefully more where this came from before too long.
