OTD 25 years ago, October 22, 2000, I saw my first tornado over the Southeast-side of Oklahoma City, OK with friend and fellow newbie storm chaser Jim Bishop.
Saw powerflashes from a tornado near Crossroads Mall. Later, we were hit by possibly the same circulation northeast of the mall. #OKwx

Only way to move forward is to have as many on-board the 'Progress Freedom Train' as possible.

OTD 7 years ago, October 10, 2018,
@JustonStrmRider and I rode-out the intense right 'eyewall' of devastating CAT 5 Hurricane Michael in Mexico Beach, Florida. We barely stayed above a rushing 15 foot storm surge.

First frost of the season in Dayton, Ohio (October 10, 2025). Relatively close reporting ASOS stations are at 40°F, but that's at 10 meters or ~30 feet elevation. The metal roofs of cars radiate heat more efficiently at lower elevation, so the morning dew froze. #ohwx #frostwarning

Unfortunately, no photos or video of my first tornado. Just memory.

@JustonStrmRider and I were mesmerized by this incredible supercell structure as the Enderlin, North Dakota EF5 tornado was occurring! This was the first official NWS-assigned EF5 tornado rating since the infamous Moore, Oklahoma Tornado on May 20, 2013. #ndwx

CORN-ADO CHASING! It was another hot, sunny day with record heat in the Midwest, ripe for dust devils. During the harvest season when cornbelt dust devils fill with corn stalks, I call them corn-adoes! Got my drone into a few of them today.

Quick reminder: they can still release the Epstein files during a government shutdown.
