Some highlights of yesterdays chase in Illinois!
Mini-Supercell structure was amazing, with beautiful striations and crisp cloud features!
We also spotted a tornado north of Vernon, Illinois -- The tornado was rated EF-2 with wind speeds up-to 114mph.

One of my favorite chase days from 2024 was the June 13th cell near Lancaster, Missouri, which produced nearly 5" hailstones. #mowx
This storm went from initial radar blip to producing very large hail within less than 60 minutes.

Out of all the times I've been fortunate to photograph the Northern Lights from northwest Missouri, the most memorable session goes to the night of October 06, 2024. This was the first time I saw the Northern Lights with my eyes from Missouri!

Thank you, Cameron, for giving me an excuse to go back to slightly re-edit a photo I took on May 18, 2023.
Subtle things like redoing lighting and removing powerlines can make a difference in a photo!

August 08, 2023 / South of Yuma, CO — A rain wrapped tornado emerges from the curtains of blinding rain shortly before rapidly dissipating.

Did anyone else happen to photograph this #tornado? It would've been at least 30 minutes after the initial and very photogenic EF-3.

A lesser known tornado from April 26, 2024 is the Redding, Iowa tornado. This tornado would be the first spawn of 3 tornadoes from this cyclical supercell. I positioned myself west of the storm near Fletchall Township, Missouri where I captured these 3 photos at 0028z.
