Enjoyed the heck out of watching Live Aid again yesterday as I did in 1985. Watched a number of YouTubers reminiscing about similar experiences but they were all old. Weird.

Great to see Quincy on Bluesky.
I’m trying to eventually transition to here from X. Thank you for the new followers and the interactions. Here’s another photo of tonight’s tornado in Floyd, NM.

A couple things in the plains reminded me of a Virginia gone by: people still hold doors for you and stores don’t have everything on lock down.

Met some Twitter weather folks I’d followed for years in OK yesterday. The conversations were better than the storms.

In addition to the tornadopalooza this year, chasecation has been a great opportunity to have only small doses of terrible news every day online.

Twice this year, I’ve left to head home only to see a good setup within range. Wish May could last forever. It’s a good set of problems to have.

It’ll be interesting to see more footage from yesterday. This was taken at 5:16 near Merino, before it crossed 76. It was ramping up for a good long while before condensate went to ground.

Forgot how much fun taking backroads out here is. What contrast with the east coast — not someone waiting to honk behind you at every stop sign.

Days like today make me wonder how I couldn’t have chased the Plains for 4 years. Just 1 good day changes a lot.
