A foggy start to a severe weather day here in WA. A few bolts already kicking up on the Olympic Peninsula, but looking forward to the main show later this afternoon!

Havenโ€™t been able to watch the news, but makes sense! I wish PSE had a GoFundMe so I could send them some coffee money.

A few good moments from the Plains this past season! I learned a LOT, saw pretty things, hung out with some super nice people, and didn't die. Really couldn't have asked for more. #stormchasing #thegreatplains
