Bullish on myself as a top tier storm photographer 🌪️
I started this journey in 2021 and evolved from someone who simply documented severe weather into a photographer who composes compelling, fine art images that evoke emotion and tell a story.
Ready for what’s next in 2025. 🤘🏻

“It was a bust”
Nope. Multiple significant tors and fatalities occurred with at least 37 tornado reports so far.
Just because you didn’t get your disaster porn in a heavily populated area doesn’t mean the forecast was a bust. Some of y’all need therapy.

Not to discount the severe weather threat on Friday, but multiple high-res models are depicting supercells in a very favorable environment for tornadoes across portions of the South on Saturday as early as late Saturday morning

Lack of staff is leading to the loss of even more balloon observations. I look at hundreds of these data points daily for my job. Both observed & model derived. These balloon observations can be critical in accurate severe thunderstorm forecasts & watch issuance. They improve model accuracy as well.

At the OB/GYN getting my IUD replaced today (because who knows if they’ll still be legal soon). I ask what my pain management option are. My provider says, “Well the standard is none and your insurance likely won’t cover it.”
I’m not having it this time around.

"America does not need a 'resistance,' or stale slogans, or people putting those slogans on little paddles. It needs an opposition party that boldly defends the nation’s virtues, the rule of law, and the rights of its people," writes @radiofreetom.bsky.social:
Democrats Are Acting Too Normal
In her response to Trump’s address, Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin failed to capture the hallucinatory nature of our national politics.

Last night a damaging tornado in Lewisville, TX went unwarned. This will likely be our reality moving forward as DOGE/Trump continue to slash NOAA & the NWS. NWS offices have been understaffed and underfunded for decades with many mets pulling double shifts during tornado outbreaks.

The dry line is unzipping and the atmosphere is primed for a potential nocturnal tornado outbreak tonight across TX and OK. Oh, and a crucial Texas radar is down within the tornado watch box. Stop cutting NOAA and the NWS. People’s lives are at stake.
