I am currently en route to the East Coast, where there is an increasing likelihood of a Bomb-Cyclone forming. The outer banks may experience multiple inches of snow and significant coastal erosion, while areas such as Raleigh could receive up to half a foot of snow. @myradar.bsky.social #bombcyclone

A forest fire is raging in the mountains located on the other side of Pasadena City Hall. The smoke was so dramatic and ominous.

Pretty surreal to say I’ve officially documented an EF5 tornado. The first EF5 tornado since Moore 2013.

Stay safe out there everyone! Take care and be good to each other. If you see someone in need- stop and help. Together we’ll get through this 🩷

Even with my earbuds in (and I like my music loud) I heard the wind pick up outside. Things are about to get wild… temp just dipped 4° in the last few minutes.
Hope everyone is prepared and stays safe, indoors, and off the roads if possible! ❄️✌️🏻❤️

the lips of night
still red
with burgundy dusk

light lingers
just there
at the rim of silence

no wine is ever wasted
a glass
that never empties

where each drop
is a promise
each promise
a star

each star
a quiet toast
to the dark

This image was made last fall on an outing to a local beach in North Florida. I've posted a couple other images from this shoot. It was exhilarating and hair raising. This bolt wasn't far off. I stood right next to my truck while opening the shutter. #landscape #EastCoastKin #lightning
