Hey everyone! My name is Nick, I'm a senior high school student who resides in the Tampa, Florida area.
I have a particular interest in forensic meteorology, including damage analysis of tornadoes, the EF scale, etc.
I'm a big tornado history nerd and radar buff. I do photography as well.

Excited to announce that my method for estimating wind speeds based on lofted debris in tornadoes was used as contextual evidence for upgrading the Enderlin, ND tornado to an EF5!

OTD in 2004:
📍 Roanoke, Illinois
A violent F4 tornado tore through the area, with estimated wind speeds between 210-240 mph. It traveled 9.6 miles, reached a peak width of 440 yards, and resulted in 3 injuries, but remarkably, no fatalities.

After reviewing several additional photos of the June 5th, 2024 EF1 tornado in Eldersburg, Maryland, I reached out to NWS Sterling to determine whether the images might support an upgrade to EF2. Following a week of analysis, they officially upgraded the tornado to EF2 with 120 mph winds.

Wow, looks like there was a tornado in Juneau, Alaska on June 16th. This appears to be a landspout tornado that occurred as a severe thunderstorm passed through the area. Incredible!

Some impressive afternoon thunderstorms moved through eastern New Port Richey, Florida earlier today. The storms produced strong downbursts and made a few weak attempts at tornadogenesis, but all were disrupted by outflow-dominant conditions.

Yesterday’s highly photogenic, deviant tornado near Dickens, Nebraska has been rated a high-end EF2, with estimated peak winds near 135 mph. Numerous trees near the end of its path were denuded and debarked, resulting in a high-end EF2 rating.

Hurricane Wilma peaked as a Category 5 in the western Caribbean Sea.
The storm's central pressure bottomed-out at 882 millibars, making it the strongest hurricane on record in the Atlantic Ocean. Wilma took only a day to go from 70 to 175 mph.
