This may be the best storm photo I ever take, and I’m OK with that. Absolutely phenomenal storm structure with classic tornado underneath tonight near Silverton, TX

No tornado here, but this was close to peak storm structure for the Silverton, TX supercell just a few minutes before the second tornado touched down.

It all began with an Updraft. If you would have told me a year ago what would have happened on April 23rd, 2021 near the town of Lockett, TX I wouldn’t have believed you. How can you cram so many incredible events into one day? The day started like any other chase day… 1/18

It’s not healthy try and be everywhere all the time. However, everyone has their big day, when you made all the right choices, and a storm(s) over performed. The surreal days that you still can’t believe actually happened. Mine was Lockett. What was yours?

You simply cannot beat the type of storm structure we had last night in Central OK. There’s a balance between raw beauty and raw destruction sometimes. I’m simply the in awe observer.

I didn’t realize until I got home that I had adjusted the tripod at the beginning of this time lapse. So here is the polished version. Guess sometimes the adrenaline of 👁️ a crazy storm gets the best of ya 😅. Embedded supercell in developing MCS tonight near Laverne, OK

I can’t remember who said it but during the chaser safety space someone said to take your shot while you have it. As I was approaching this windmill I knew it was as good a time as any to pull off and snap this shelf. Sometimes you just have to stop and take it all in.

April 23rd. Nothing was stopping me from chasing this day. Never been more confident about positioning on a chase as I had this day. Never was more certain it was going to drop a tube. It dropped at least 6. This is why I chase.

For anyone that doesn’t know, I was taken to the ER via ambulance on my way home from work last night. There is a going on right now I don’t have medical answers for. I’m tired. I’m sad I had to miss work today. And I would appreciate thoughts / prayers while doctors diagnose.

There is something incredibly satisfying about doing these videos each season. After a bit of a health scare, I was able to get back out and finish up the videos for this in June. Incredibly grateful. Enjoy convergence!

Wednesday nights event is one of those you’re gonna hear about for a long time from a lot of people. There are certain chase days that just stick with you and with the mention of a town (Cole, Etowah, Pink, Shawnee) all the memories of being there come flooding back.

Been trying for the past couple of years to get a Haboob. Literally missed one in the Texas panhandle the week before being a little out of position. Well worth the wait. One of the most surreal things I’ve ever experienced. Near Rolla, KS last night

Was able to snag a few bolts while I was sandwiched in between two supercells tonight waiting for the one to my East that had a confirmed tornado to clear. Wild night.

A word of caution about surge. My mom refused to leave before Ian last year despite being in a surge zone. I did my best to convince her otherwise. Was on the phone with her when the water rose feet in a matter of minutes.
