I have been eagerly waiting to post these. The most colorful aurora I have ever seen happened directly overhead only an hour after sunset on Friday, May 10. It looked like paint splattered on a wall. God I love what I do.
The open warm sector supercell and its intense tornado that just tore through the heart of Barnsdall, OK and the southeast side of Bartlesville, OK before getting eaten up by a surging bow echo.

always says - Occlusion is key. 18mm wide angle shot of the full occluded Malta, IL tornado all the way up into the updraft at 5:45pm! Damn, I love meteorology.

This is definitely the most attractive radar presentation of a tornado I’ve ever seen. Can’t miss the tornado when it drifts away from the entire storm!

Totality was the most incredible thing I have ever experienced, even more exciting than the first time I saw the northern lights. Just another reason to love and appreciate space.
The intense colors of the G4 storm on Monday (G3 at night here in NA) were thanks to the persistent high density of the CME smoothie, sitting between 20-40 pp/cc! The reds were so vibrant that they completely demolished the white balance I had.
The first well-documented hook echo on radar (1953) vs. the storm that produced a significant tornado in and east of Claremore, OK tonight on 5/25/24.

What is the range of possible outcomes looking like? Well, according to NASA, periods of G4 or greater storming are quite likely tomorrow afternoon and night.
DSLR footage of the massive QLCS tornado that devastated a neighborhood NE of Sherman, IL. It developed rapidly right next to us

Now this is a proper CME arrival! This may be one of the fastest onsetting geomagnetic storms in the history of our reliable solar wind dataset. Hemispheric power rose sharply from 18 GW to 141 GW in just 70 minutes (!!). A G3 storm is already in progress.
Sherman, IL is in bad shape. Significant QLCS tornado came through. Pulled an old lady and her dog out.

Incredible tornado damage 4 miles west of Patterson, IL. Houses and garages destroyed. Got to talk with a few of the residents in the area and everyone seems to be okay. Thank the Lord.

Hopefully twitter doesn’t butcher the quality too much, but check out the hundreds of satellites that passed behind the dancing northern lights on Sunday!
Despite most of the midnight timeframe being strictly green colors with the auroral arc directly overhead, an intense burst of salmon-colored aurora occurred in the southwest part of the sky. This was at 12:58 AM CDT in southwest Wisconsin on the 11th!
