Hello. Have some clouds.

I need a wealthy benefactor to fund me so I can be a full time #stormchaser. I'm sick of this 8-5 life 😭 I'm funny and smart, we'd probably make bank streaming.

This cell died shortly after I took the photo, but it was gorgeous.

Just west of Artesia, NM this afternoon.

I'm finally in the physical shape to get my front yard fixed up. I've done the bare minimum since moving in back in 2020. It's time to seriously start landscaping.

I'm absolutely going to try and go to this. Hail is so cool! Uh...no pun intended.

Probably make a whole weekend of it in Colorado.

I'm annoyed it's Monday and not Sunday. I have work 😒

Clovis Summer Camp?

I'll be supremely disappointed if this doesn't happen.

Initially, I thought one, that little noodle in the center. Then it occurred to me, that might be a satellite to the wedge. But from just a photo, without a time stamp, and with hills in the foreground obscuring the ground, I'd be hesitant to state anything as factual.

Sorry bud they got their nader quota for the next decade yesterday, have you considered Arkansas instead?

Would you have seen this rain wrapped #tornado? I almost couldn't. These heavily edited photos show what's hiding in the storm. This is why you take weather alerts seriously! Thankfully this 🌪️ wasn't on the ground long, but it did just miss a farmhouse!

Chase day 1 in West Texas was...okay. Had camera issues so not one single photo that isn't from my phone. Got a few new dents in the car. Almost drove into a ditch during heavy rain. Still worth it.

Day 2, here we go!

Tentative #stormchasing plans are to leave this afternoon and get a hotel in Lubbock. Hopefully catch some 🌩️ this evening. Visit MIL in hospital tomorrow morning then position for more 🌩️

If you're in the green or yellow, be weather aware!

Only about 4 for me. I missed Saturday, so I'm really chomping at the bit to see literally anything 😂

I'm thisclose to calling out of work for it. Those who know, know why.

I was supposed to be #stormchasing today but instead a 15 minute swap of windshield wipers turned into a 90 minute battle and by then it was too late to start driving. I wish I could bill #rainx for 1. Lying about what will fit my car and 2. My disappointing day 😒 I MISSED THE SPINNY BOIS 🌪️

60 years ago today was the Palm Sunday outbreak.

It may not be known as a "super outbreak" because its sheer volume of tornadoes wasn't high.

But the number of "violent" tornadoes, high death toll & devastation places it in the Mt. Rushmore of outbreaks.

Not to mention an iconic tornado photo.

This is one of America's signature tornado outbreaks, not simply for the number of violent, deadly twisters, but also for the innovations it spurred in severe weather warnings. - Articles from The Wea...

Can't go to Texas without getting a beer & burger at Blue Sky. I promise I'm happier than my face looks 😂

Me & Lubbock have a funny history. By this I mean it tends to storm on me if I even sniff around here. Nothing but blue skies today though. Unrelated to our lunch choice 😂

Even though a massive cold front is moving through #newmexico right now, the snakes will nonetheless be coming out of brumation.

These danger noodles I met last summer want to remind you to watch where you step. No step on snek. Leave snakes alone & they'll leave you alone.
