Hello weather friends,
This will be a long and difficult post but the main takeaway is this: I have decided to largely step away from pursuing a career in weather as of now.
This past week, I attended the AMS conference and the storm chaser summit. I met a lot of people who

I’ve actually thought about this pretty extensively. IMO the best bet would be a bomb made from liquid nitrogen in a sealed container. You’d get a powerful outward expansion of cold air at low levels, could theoretically weaken the PGF enough to disrupt cyclostrophic balance.

A couple days ago I posted about my dropping out of grad school and losing my passion for weather. That went way more viral than I could have imagined and I’ve received a crazy amount of support from the

community. Long story short, this really lifted me up and changed much

Wow, alright so my last post got way more traction than I thought. I can’t believe how supportive the wx community has been. Y’all have convinced me: I’ll make time to do something special with chasing at some point this year. We’ll see what that ends up looking like.

I would say Jarrell but I think it’s more disturbing when you see a tornado in person. So for me it’s the Hedrick IA EF-3. Watched it toss a house like a feather and impale a cow with a telephone pole. Wasn’t easy to get over that one.

I’m so sorry to hear that. I’ve had a lot of news organizations reach out to me about using the footage. If I make any money off of it, I’ll be sending it to the NARM workers impacted and their families.

This EF-2 tornado in eastern Wyoming from June might have been the strongest of the year. Did significant damage to a coal mine immediately after touching down but intensified significantly into a 1/2 mile wide wedge over open ranch land and didn’t hit anything at peak strength.

This looks really bad. Would not be surprised to see an upgrade to emergency soon.

Young men saying wild stuff to rile people up is a tale as old as time. Good on you for owning up to it. It probably feels like the world is collapsing on you right now, but just keep chasing, enjoying weather, and doing your best to be a good person moving forward.

What Reed is saying is that the explosion warmed up the tornado and basically evaporated the visible part of it momentarily. The winds were still spinning and the tornado itself wasn’t destroyed.

This show was so well done. I hope we get something like it again. Even though Team Dominator wasn’t there, I still think “Home” is one of the best episodes of a reality/documentary TV show ever made.

Really good example is the Wright Wyoming tornado on 6/23/23. The storm was passing between Riverton and Rapid City radars when an EF-2 wedge hit the world’s biggest coal mine. Feel free to hit me up if you want more information on it.

Except you called Ryan Hall and the media “pathetic” and tried to portray him as uncaring, when you had clearly done no research on the actual situation. If you’re gonna delete the tweets just admit that you were wrong, don’t misrepresent what you said.

We might have had a brief ground circulation. North of Hemingford NE at 5:35.

This makes sense. I think the tornado hit the mine before it reached peak strength. Visually, it looked to me like it was near the same level of intensity as the Keota IA tornado, but at that point it was over open land.

Disagree with this one, was just a high base. Even when it was a skinny little rope it was rolling huge hay bails. Landspouts can’t do that.

I genuinely considered retiring after Yuma because I thought “it can’t get better than that.”
On a side note, I think your picture here must have been taken right around the same time as this one.

Today marks 6 months since a half-mile wide wedge tornado impacted NARM - the world’s biggest coal mine. This was the largest tornado caught on camera in Wyoming history.

So I’m going through old footage and this funnel cloud from May 29 in the Badlands at 4:07 PM looks like it actually might’ve touched down. Anyone else get this on camera?

There’s a slight risk over my hometown today and I’m in Canada for work… but somehow I still end up under a tornado warning.
