The segment that I filmed for CBC's "The Nature Of Things 101" just dropped. I guide hosts Anthony Morgan & Sarika Cullis-Suzuki through the process of how I read the sky when I'm chasing storms. I also give them a few tornado safety tips.

Six storm chasers stand on the road in front of a giant sculpted supercell. Featuring a windmill.

Proof that my storm chase crew is 100% badass. 😎 We had one shot for Jason to take this pic in front of yesterday’s gorgeous supercell - I think we did all right!

Did some filming today with one of the screen-used Jeeps from the original 1996 film “Twister”. They had a Dorothy tornado probe from the film as well!

I love them so much! Going down that is. Climbing them is the worst.

Revisiting an old friend. Pacaya volcano in Guatemala is where I filmed a commercial back in 2016. In the process, becoming the first to ever set foot at the bottom of the main crater.

No climb to the summit this time, just a brief stay.

Fuego Volcano, Guatemala no major eruptions during my most recent visit, but it was producing quite a bit of steam & gas.

Also, some very cool lenticular clouds that kind of look like UFO's

More photos from Cartagena, Colombia.

Cartagena, Colombia.

An amazing, bustling city, and the narrow streets of the old part of town were fascinating to walk around in.

Another Green Flash at sunset last night, off the west coast of Guatemala! What a treat to witness 2 so far on this voyage.

At sunset last night somewhere off the west coast of Costa Rica, I caught the elusive Green Flash as the last sliver of the sun dipped below the horizon.

Watch for me in the new History Channel series “History’s Most Shocking” which premieres tomorrow night, Jane 27th at 10:00 PM.

Check out this bow-wake sea spray rainbow I just captured here in the Caribbean Sea aboard the Queen Anne.

Sunset last night from somewhere between Cuba and Haiti.

Miami
In the afternoon we took the shuttle to the Bayside Market area and walked around there for a few hours. It was nice to get off the ship for a bit, and see some of the awesome birds, do a little browsing around in the shops, and soak up a bit of sunshine for the first time in days.

I’m giving a series of lectures aboard the Queen Anne cruise ship. Every few days we hey have a formal, themed evening and everyone dresses up.

Last night was “Red and Gold” formal night aboard the Queen Anne. I ended up having dinner with one of the guys who helped designs the Apollo 11 astronaut’s space suit cooling systems.

I gave my first talk of this voyage yesterday. The Royal Court Theatre aboard the Queen Anne is a lovely venue, and the audience was awesome!

Very rough seas getting whipped up off the coast of North Carolina. Aboard the Queen Anne.

Day 2 aboard the Queen Anne. We’re currently off the coast of North Carolina, heading south towards Miami. I’m still getting my bearings around the ship.

Tomorrow I’ll be giving my first talk of the trip in the Royal Court Theatre.

Hello New York… Briefly.
I flew into The Big Apple this morning to board the Cunard Lines ship Queen Anne. I’m on board giving a series of talks and over the next 2 weeks I’ll be stopping in Miami, Cartagena Colombia, through the Panama Canal, Guatemala, then Cabo San Lucas Mexico.

Many thanks to Shane Hewitt for having me on his show The Night Shift. We had great fun talking about recent volcano eruptions

I hope you place is spared. Such a catastrophe there.

At the National Geographic “Spectacle” photo exhibit tonight at Sherway Gardens in Toronto. An amazing compilation of dramatic photos from around the world.

Many thanks to BBC World Service for having me as a guest on their “What On The World” podcast.

Here’s a link to the video of the segment: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvGX...
