Need storm

5/18/23

Can't wait to be in front of something like this again. Especially when it's moving at 10 mph...lol

Going through severe storm derangement syndrome right now...can't wait for plains season.

Taken with my pixel East of Pampa, TX on a 0 tor 5/17/23...wishing i had my A7RIII at that time. Manifesting views like this for 2025.

When I read this bill I already took this conclusion away from it, however I'm still glad they're spelling it out more explicitly.

Still not exactly happy this gives idiots like Val/Amy an excuse to run others off the road even more often, but meh, it could be way worse.
Important wording added to the 'Storm Chaser Bill' in OK.

Spacex literally caught the largest booster ever made on the launch tower, yet this app is calling spacex a failure because their extremely ambitions experimental vehicle is experiencing experimental failures. Critical thinking in spaceflight doesn't exist when spacex is involved, apparently...

Fuel Leak. Look how fast the CH4 depletes at the tail end of this clip. Upon freezing there's almost no CH4 left. My guess is fuel depletion due to leak leading to engines getting closer to stoichiometric, most likely leading to the turbopumps melting. Still an incredible catch! #starship

#tornadotuesday Morton was fun...I loved the fact I ended up with dust in my underwear after getting blasted by the RFD surge during its development...

El Dorado was pretty cool outside of me letting my camera get out of focus in the middle of it @thesilverhorse.bsky.social

6 months later, I'm still not sure what this was. 5/20/24 in NE CO. This was after the first major cycle of the storm, however the original base was much closer to us, which leads me to being very skeptical of whether or not this was a tor or an SLC. Character limit, see alt image text.

@hunterhurleywx.bsky.social saw someone in Ryan's server say "SE OK looks interesting for chasing if prefrontals go up"...dang they really have no idea don't they?

Sorry to announce my imminent departure from this app. Not by choice, but because I will be too broke to afford internet.
instead of a subscription model bluesky should have a swear jar

The BE-4 is such a cool engine. It's the first domestically developed oxygen-rich closed cycle engine in the US. The soviets did this in the 60s/70s while America focused on fuel-rich hydrogen based closed cycle engines.

Blue Origin posted this picture of New Glenn with all the engines installed.

They're getting close to launch!

Without any study, I've mentally theorized that HCLS "mesoscale accidents" driven by SR modification are at least partially due to friction increasing the size of the low level hodograph. Nice to see it being researched. Also provides a direct correlation w/ inflow strength and tor likelihood.

Yall ever get an amazing still and then when you go to edit it you fall to your knees because the entire ground area is out of focus?

5/19 really was structure of the year wasn't it?
October 21, 2024 at 2:35 PM
To my knowledge, nobody else has any pictures of the hydro/weatherford ef-1 on 5/19. Completely wrapped in rain and in a place where chasers had to bail south to avoid the river, I've not found any other shots of this tornado. Found while editing photos several months later.
