Auroras from a few weeks ago in Wyoming! By far the most vibrant reds I’ve ever seen. It almost felt wrong how saturated this image rendered out as. What a moment. ✨

I'm happy to share two @cssl.ca open-access remote sensing papers that are both related to alternative methods of classifying tornado damage! 🧵:

Here's a link to the premiere of my annual year-end storm chasing flick 'SKYDRAMA 2025'.

It's a long watch! Avoid the cold wind and watch it all at once, or enjoy it with leftovers through the holiday weekend. Cheers!

Probably one of my tor favorite photos (that I captured) from this last storm season. It was in the earlier stages of the Arnett, OK tornado of May 18. Of course, it's hard to compete with Dickens, NE or Gary, SD, but I wasn't on either of those two events. With @francescodemartin.bsky.social

I've seen remarkable things in my years of chasing, but this scene from my first year remains a favorite. Here, the flanking line of a supercell is painted by the setting Sun, while the very clouds you're looking at cast shadows for miles (seen as anticrepuscular rays near the horizon). #photography

Aurora Structure Reference Guide

Special thanks to Jeremy, Chris and Landon for their expertise/ knowledge.

With the help of some friends photos, I made quick guide to the structures most often seen during mid latitude aurora events to communicate to general audiences what they’re seeing!

From 4/27/2011, a short multi-tilt storm-following loop from ARMOR of the Hackleburg tornado. Some pretty incredible temporal resolution is possible like this when you interleave the different tilts! You get some shakiness but overall this turned out quite incredible. Love the merger stream!

Anyone else get absolutely dazzled by the ridiculous amount of proton aurora on 11/11? All night it was showing up in very quick bursts!

Could've sworn this stretch of the thruway was a lot greener 🤔

Must be that changing climate people keep talking about.

A “lost” tornado from 2011 was surveyed and confirmed 14+ years later by NWS Birmingham. They wrote, “It is important to correct the record for both accuracy and credibility.”

Hurricane Melissa produced the fastest hurricane winds to be recorded by a dropsonde, verified by reviewing data at NSF NCAR! Hurricane Melissa’s 252 mph wind gust surpassed the previous record from Typhoon Megi over the Western Pacific in 2010, where a dropsonde measured wind gusts of 248 mph.
