Came across this photo on Instagram, I think it's the same shot from above.
Twin tornadoes just south of Perryton,TX. Amazing to watch while not knowing the sad situation going on in Perryton!

Smart people who know math, what kind of updraft speeds are we talking to support a 6-7" hail stone?

Sped up video of the 3 tornadoes from the storm south of Limon, CO May 22 2021. This was a nice storm tracking nearly due north along Hwy 71. These are also my 2nd-4th tornadoes following my 1st near Sterling City, TX on the 17th.

Time-lapse of the snow blowing off Pike's Peak. I also like the little poofs of snow in the trees from some wind gusts.

I can't tell the difference between these 3. For real though, awesome opportunity to park next to these 2.

Thank you to everyone who reached out with calls, texts, messages, and comments. BT was totaled after being hit at 40mph. It's never easy losing a friend after 4 years of adventures but thanks for saving my life. I cried making this video, here are some fun highlights.

Crazy how vehicles come standard with flashing lights with the push of this button, no need to add extras.

Haven't seen much yet, but May 22, 2021 south of Limon ,CO was my best day so far. Storm rode parallel to one of the only highways out that way and dropped 3 nice tornados.

I love when people use the HRRR to determine their entire chase!

Storm near Woodland Park was spinning pretty good around 330pm. Amazing what 17kt of shear will get you in Colorado.

If you like volcanic smoke rings, here are a couple of videos and plenty of pictures I put together from Mt Etna, Sicily, Italy. I saw easily 100 of them in a few hours! It was almost nonstop.

Dashcam video of hail measured up to 3.3" falling near Hanover, CO, southeast of Colorado Springs. One stone shattered the windshield and sends the dashcam flying off. Hail was falling on the backside of the storm. *Excited language*

Can anyone identify this tornado and photographer?
I was going through an older random wx photos folder and found this pic I had saved. I had it labeled as "KS Tornado" and date saved is July 15, 2015 6am, so this could have been at least the day before.

I present my new storm chase vehicle, Black Thunder (for now), a 2020 Ford F150 XLT.
I wanted a continuation of what I had before since everything was so dialed in, and this feels like home sitting inside it.
Now it's time for the upgrades!
It won't look like this for long.

Flash flooding over Murphy rd just west of Bradshaw rd, northwest of Peyton. It won't stop raining and hailing, flood waters continue to rise.

Pretty good for a backyard chase. Dual funnels, accumulating hail, and nice mammatus to finish it off.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Chasing tornados would not be as fun without you.

Anyone know what is forming this line in the clouds in New Mexico?
It resembles water flowing and hitting a barrier, pooling up and forming that front wave.
