For #TornadoTuesday, the May 18, 2013 Rozel, Kansas #tornado as it was first touching down. This sunset tornado was one of the most photogenic @pondert.art and I have ever witnessed. #WxSky

Stormy Christmas Eve ahead for California! Some #tornado/waterspout potential exists for the coast and Central Valley, along with a high risk of excessive rainfall in SoCal, including the L.A. metro area. Flooding and mudslides are looking likely. #cawx #WxSky #losangeles

One of our last views of our backyard in Moore is a dusting a wet snow. On the day we’re loading the moving truck. On my birthday. #WxSky

That 94 recorded by the Tipton Mesonet site on Saturday tied for the second-highest temperature ever recorded during November in Oklahoma! Tops are the 95s recorded by the Hollis Mesonet site back on Nov. 7, 2023, and also at Coalgate on Nov. 1, 1937. #okwx #okmesonet

Video shows lava shot over 1,000 feet into the air from Hawaii's Kilauea volcano on Sunday. The impressive eruption was accompanied by a "volnado," or a tornado-like swirl of dust and ash caused by the contrast between the heated air near the lava and the cooler ambient air.

Nighttime polar orbiter satellite photos of Jamaica before and after #Melissa show how the power grid was affected. Melissa knocked out power to about 77% of Jamaica’s customers, said Minister of Local Government Desmond McKenzie. Photos from worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov
