Baked my birthday cake over the weekend and decided at the last minute to not do boring solid colored icingโฆ so please enjoy my hasty attempt at a supercell with a hook echo ๐
Last night on my flight I saw some absolutely incredible lightning while flying near a big band of storms in the south. It was so neat to watch!

Picked a window seat on the right side of the plane to see Rainier, was so excited to look out my window during my SIX HOUR FLIGHT back homeโฆ.. ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Zero metered a gustnado due south of Dodson, TX on hwy 62 at about 5:45pm. Itโs been crazy dusty and windy out here! The inflow has been awesome. Sorry for the awful video ๐

Will go through pics later, but I am so so so glad I decided to chase today. Had an incredible time, saw a beautiful storm, got to chase with

*NOT MY VIDEO* sent by my aunt in Wichita, was forwarded to her from someone in Andover but it wasnโt their video either. Damage from the tornado that passed through earlier this evening. If you know the source please tag them so I can give credit!

Of course my phone decided to screw me with the quality, but I got my first tornado today with

๐๐๐ just east of Starke, FL at 4:10pm. Woke up from a nap to a severe warned storm and figured why not give it a shot, and it definitely paid off!
Oh and best part about today is that my dad came with me and was my driver and photography helper! Storms are nothing new to him since he grew up in Kansas, but he hasnโt chased one before (except on a bike as a kid ๐). Canโt get over how awesome today was!
Florida really went all out with todayโs clouds after yesterdayโs severe storms! Some absolutely incredible fallstreak clouds this afternoon. And possibly some gravity waves, and maybe a funky plane trail? Taken in Gainesville, FL

I meanโฆ this is her profile, she can post whatever she wants? You have no right to dictate what she does here, itโs her page. You donโt have to follow her. Criticizing her for what she posts when sheโs obviously struggling is a pretty shitty thing to do, tbh.
I donโt have any way to edit pics (or even convert from raws lmao) but this was easily the best nighttime storm Iโve ever seen. Shoutout to

for letting me tag along ๐ฅน hung out near Grady, NM for ages watching the lightning show!
Going through old pics and videos instead of doing classwork, so hereโs a cool video of lightning from an awesome storm that rolled through Gainesville a year ago (rip quality in advance)

You can view older images too! They keep them all saved, thereโs the option to see older ones. They updated the one of my grandparents house to the new owners this year, but I can still go back and see my grandpa sitting in the garage ๐ฅน
Managed to get some lightning shots on my phone (while in the car) of the Amarillo storm on Thursday ๐ still canโt get over how much fun that day was!
Another Twitter quality victim, but hereโs more of the crazy lightning from the storms Saturday night, viewed from a plane. And based on GPS data weโd just passed from Louisiana into Texas when I took this (looking north)!

I donโt think theyโve ever been really rare, just that we didnโt know they existed so no one knew what to look for. Theyโre becoming more well known so more people are seeing them.
Also the posts you saw might have all been from Paul, heโs gotten some great ones recently

So I did a thing today, furthest Iโve ever run and my entire body aches but Iโm super proud of myself since I just got back into running in July! Shoutout to my parents who came to cheer me on and my friends who encouraged me to keep at it (they both kicked ass!)

Omg the third one is my favorite ๐ that foliation, wow.
Hereโs the biggest ones Iโve ever seen, in a landscaping rock at a ski resort. Iโve never wanted to steal a small boulder so badly ๐
Yeah, that was one of the coolest things Iโve ever seen. NASA Crew 6 on their way back home, as seen from Juniper Spring! Happened to be camping this weekend and got an incredible view over the spring, definitely a night I wonโt forget. Sonic boom was almost 2min after it passed!
Alright Twitter fam, I got my first pair of rollerblades in about 15 years to have a lower impact alternative to running. Who has tips for crossing over the bumpy strips at crosswalks that are for the visually impaired without looking like a total idiot and almost falling? ๐๐

Got my BS in geology and the cascadia subduction zone is my favorite fault zone. Modeled it in a few different programs too! Thought it was so cool that Japan recorded the tsunami as an โorphan.โ Would love to visit the ghost forests someday!
Not bad for a Tuesday ๐ even got to see a little funnel on a passing storm! Didnโt turn into anything, but probably the closest thing Iโve seen to a tornado all year ๐๐ we hit our scallop limit in two hours!

Probably this one, I think this storm was tornado warned when I took this. Was such an amazing chase! Didnโt see a tornado but did zero meter a gustnado ๐
Itโs stormy and dark out with lots of thunder, and Iโm listening to

while laying out my work tasks for the week. Couldnโt ask for a better workday ๐ฅฐ
Up WAY later than I should be but after many annoyances and setbacks tonight (including the fact that my cameraโs SD card is currently stuck in my laptop) I wanted to get at least one camera shot posted ๐ซ entirely unedited, but you can see how incredible the outflow was!

Hey
@SXM_Help
@SIRIUSXM
you really need to fix your weather alerts. The nearest severe warned storm is 70mi away and moving AWAY (and no longer warned anyway), thereโs no start time, and it ends in 5 hours?? Do better, this is why people disable alerts.
Figured everyone else was posting eclipse photos so I should get mine up too. Was surprisingly nice to actually be able to see one without cloud cover for once!
LIGHTNING STRIKES LIGHT POLE: Thanks to Nathanael Day for sharing this shocking video from southeast Wichita. Remember, lightning and thunder mean you should take cover!

Yep I literally just did it the other day, heโs still there ๐ฅน and I was able to check out the street view of my parents house back to 2007 which was cool too.
Minus the insane mosquitos, what an amazing way to end the day ๐ฅฐ first time at the barn in almost a month and had a great ride, just hopped on bareback and rode around in the pasture. Bit of trotting and cantering but mostly just enjoyed the weirdly cool evening!

The tornado in Annapolis apparently hit my aunt and uncleโs house, their boat is upside down on the lift. Not sure if thereโs any other damage, my aunt isnโt sure if she can get home. My uncle was home when it happened. Damn.

Well damn, thatโs depressing as hell. They make a ton of good posts with current weather/geology events but I have sometimes noticed a lack of credit or not sharing the content from the ownerโs page, especially in the last few monthsโฆ.
Storms that roll through like this are my absolute favorite. Started as a small line of low hanging clouds before a wall of rain, and ended up as a breathtaking wall of clouds moving over and past. Florida storms can be fun even if they donโt often produce!
