Spending too much time posting tornadoes and not enough time shitposting lately

Tornado chaser 🌪️⚡️⛈️. Except the ones in Alabama. Not those. Orders queso for the table. Taco Bell is my love language
I'm at the age where everyone is having kids and when people say they're having twins I'm like oh congrats is this a satellite situation or the real deal 6.23.2023 - Granada, Colorado
Sometimes tornadoes like to hide in the rain. Scientists have theorized that they're just shy. 9.29.2019 - Emden, Illinois
Wind turbines look like toothpicks in front of a tornado 4.23.2026 - Braman, Oklahoma
A rare moment of excitement in 2026 happened when this EF-3 tornado condensed near I-70. After driving the approximate circumference of the Earth over May and June to see basically nothing it felt like a small victory. 6.17.2026 - Effingham, Illinois
Years later and no storm has impressed me the way this one did, and for some reason it was the secondary target. The nearly stationary EF-3 pictured was the first tornado of the day and lasted 45 minutes. 6.23.2023 - Granada, Colorado
It's almost dirt wedge season 6.28.2023 - Kimball, Nebraska
To the archives we go for a picture of a multivortex tornado 12.1.2018 - Bluffs, Illinois
You know the great plains are in a drought when.... 5.16.2023 - Grainfield, Kansas
You have weird sci-fi expectations the first time you're abducted by aliens but in reality all that happens is you get hailed on. Not that memorable. 6.9.2022 - McCook, Nebraska
I spend way too much of my time wondering what all the abandoned buildings on the high plains have seen. 4.26.2026 - Roswell, New Mexico
Strongly disagree with this move. The RRFS is not ready for prime time. The NAM has value in corners of the universe. The HREF is a phenomenal model. This is not smart IMO.
Boom.
It was at about this time when storms went up off a dryline in Nebraska in a pristine environment for tornadoes. You weren't allowed to sleep in. Three insane tornadoes. Happy anniversary to those who celebrate. 5.12.2023 - Bartlett, Nebraska
Some flashing lights from a random alien invasion a few years ago. 5.25.2023 - Grady, NM
A wacky moment from yesterday's chase - as a long-lived tornado reintensifies, a satellite tornado develops, retrogrades toward me, and is absorbed into the larger tornado. 4.23.2026 - Braman, OK
Was gonna post a video but those aren't working apparently so you get this picture of a tornado instead 4.13.2026 - Amboy, MN
The ultrawide view of a developing tornado shows its foundations in the entire supercell. That's way more fun than zooming in on ground swirls, no? 4.13.2026 - Amboy, Minnesota
Somehow at a mile wide this tornado is less than half the width of the largest tornadoes we have recorded.
Can a tornado take down a wind turbine? I have absolutely no idea and this video is not informative on that subject. 5.23.2024 - Eldorado, OK
Unfortunately, pseudoscience is on full display at Chaser Summit this year 🐍 🛢️
The sunset brought a surprise noctilucent cloud appearance to Colorado tonight, probably from a fresh rocket launch out west somewhere these past few days. The rarest clouds on Earth 😍
A tornado wandering aimlessly under its parent storm. Some fire ants were bothered by this picture.
Tornadoes aren't that cool, says the dude who is not that cool
This tornado drifted aimlessly for 45 minutes over open country and did basically nothing. A+ work.
