So it turns out my husband possibly followed the cell that produced the Gaylord tornado across Lake Michigan and forgot to tell me. It’s fine. I’m fine.

I know that today is a huge tornado anniversary and all, but may I also remind you of another anniversary..
The tornado apocalypse of 2019 that never happened 🤣🤣
I did see a pretty neat tornado near Mangum, OK though 🌪

Discovered an old vhs tape that my mom generically labeled “Weather Channel Tornado Special.” It’s a minute-by-minute retrospective of the May 3rd, 1999 tornado on the one-year anniversary. You guys. YOU GUYS.

Here's my blistering hot take no one asked for: at 12:30AM I decided to call off my chase. Because today is going to be a day that exceeds my current skill level and I’m not trying to die.
If you’re not a veteran chaser, maybe this isn't your journey.
One year ago today was my first chase, the great Scott City bust of 2021. I drove 18 hours to stand in a Target parking lot in Salina, KS, and watch towers die, and it was everything I’ve wanted to do since I was 10.
Sometimes I wish I had a chase partner, but I just spent 6 straight hours screech-singing along to Dashboard AND the Ataris on repeat and realized I could never subject another human to that
I know we’re freaking out about the HRRR, but can everyone please wish Howie a happy belated birthday? He and

’s Gizmo are birthday twins, but we had to wait until dad got home to celebrate 💛🐶
Chasemas day 2: husband accidentally took this and I think it’s hilarious. Here I am, watching radar while in a Barbie-pink, jewel-encrusted gown, as one does. This was right before an EF-0 hit S of Flint around midnight on 7/11
Today's the day. Today is OUR day.

as Jo but the rest of the cast is The Muppets.
I will accept no feedback this idea is already fully formed and perfect.
“A remarkable, perhaps historic storm system, is currently approaching our forecast area.”
…what the fuck is going on in here on this good Sunday afternoon?
Get it done, chasers! Stay hydrated, stay caffeinated, stay safe.

It’s my 10th wedding anniversary and I’m spending it in my wedding dress, drinking champagne and watching tornado videos. Happy almost 2024, friends. Do something silly for yourself 💖💖
Everyone lighting up those spotter network beacons like this is a moderate risk in late May. Tell me it’s been a long winter w/o telling me it’s been a long winter

Controversial yet brave opinion: the chase community is not the target market for this trip. If people paid $250K to be welded into a tin can death trap, then there are people out there who will pay $86K for a chase trip and we should happily take their money
Happy Pride! As your self-appointed twitter Auntie Mame, I want you to know that no matter who you love or how you identify, I will always support, celebrate and hold space for you.
And I’ll always remind you that the first Pride was a riot. 💖🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️💅
I’ve decided today I’m kicking off chasemas, where I’ll post an underwhelming chase photo from 2022 every day until Xmas.

Volcán de Fuego. INSANE close-range drone footage of one of Fuego's largest eruptions in the days I spent there. The blast propelled massive rocks RIGHT past my drone as thousands of rocks rained down. This is my

I’ve been busy on side quests lately. For those of you wondering where in the world I’ve been, you might want to fire up your old Apple IIe to figure it out

Tonight, 1 year later, I spent 2 hours on a zoom call with several other women chasers who I’d always looked up to and respected, and now consider peers and friends. We might meet up on this weekend’s chase.
Do the thing, dammit.

If you’re going to get a perm, wait at least 24 hours before you chase storms at the risk of deactivating the ammonium thioglycolate

It’s here.
It’s about all of us - the fantastic community that built the place we can all belong, & the powerful movement GWC has become today.
Dedicated to our community, our 2024 video: “Safe in the Storm” 💜🌪️💜
Just booked a hotel for Monday night . A girl’s going to need her beauty sleep if she wants to be ready in case this even comes close to verifying 💅

Fight for love. Support your friends, families and loved ones. Treat others as you'd want to be treated. Spread kindness, spread acceptance, spread love, and spread warm Brie on a cracker with some fig jam. These are the keys to the city of joy. Happy 2024🥂

I’m officially in year 3 of chasing and it’s still better than I ever imagined. I love this silly hobby and I love all of you

The next day, I got what I refer to as my practice day: I intercepted a few weak supercells outside of Topeka and almost zero-metered a little bird fart and it was EVERYTHING*
*please do not ever do this
Last week's tornado outbreak in Iowa was (unofficially) the largest tornado outbreak in Iowa history from 1950-2021 🌪️
Is it just me, or does it feel wrong to have a December date at the top of this list? 😬
