Somehow, I managed to already craft a quick video from today’s tornado intercept near Sauk City. One of the closest encounters with a tornado I’ve ever had.

Hope you find it as wild as I do! #wiwx #tornado

Incredible tornadoes today in Nebraska. Saw two tornadoes and ended up in a tornado emergency.

I've got plenty more YouTube videos either in the works or concepts for future projects, nothing exactly in the realm of historical tornadoes but other natural science and outdoor topics as they relate to my photography. I'm excited for the future of my channel

Well now the context just becomes that you're trying to bring zen to the timeline

UNPREDICTABLE: The Pennsylvania Tornadoes of May 31, 1985 is live on YouTube! A cinematic, originally-crafted, immersive look into an unexpected and notorious day in local history that I've been fascinated with and personally connected to my whole life. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m47Q...

This is…not helpful. And likely aimed at an audience of one that rhymes with MAUDGE.

go my photos of storms

Found this cool clip of lightning coming down right as a DOW scans towards it, during the El Dorado tornado last year. #wxsky

We bought the funny chat

I think?

The lush green Nebraska sandhills fill the foreground on either side of the 2 lane highway I’m driving down. In front of me, a thunderstorm beautifully lit by the setting sun, and underneath it a massive violent tornado accompanied by a rainbow. The sun partially peaking through the clouds creates incredible lighting and contrast in this scene with the shadows really accentuating the depth of the storm. The way the tornado is lit right next to the rainbow gives beauty to an incredibly destructive force.

The green hills in the foreground are bright in the sunshine, a ragged dark tornado churns up dirt just beyond the farther hilltop. The sunlight creates a rainbow right in front of the tornado and illuminates individual drops of rain and hailstones flying through the frame.

Large hailstones fill the sky in front of a massive tornado partially obscured by the precipitation. The sunset light creates a dramatic scene, and the rolling green sandhills provide a dynamic landscape for such an insane moment.

Yellow wheat fields fill a shallow valley between the green sandhills. In the distance a giant white cloud wraps around the skinny shadowed remnants of a significant tornado. A radio tower is almost unnoticeable as it is dwarfed by the tornado behind it.

These are all the same tornado. There was a good 10-20 minutes I couldnt see it where I wish I knew what form it took across its evolution, but what I did see was incredible. Whitman, NE 6-25-24

Hurricane Helene, The 1st intentional hurricane chase I've done.. Boy was this one a choice in hindsight!

Insane Rain & Winds, Camera Issues, Friends, Random Animals, And of course my silly activities!

Best chase so far, But I think that these experiences only get better :)

I think we may be storm chasing possibly

We must steal memes!!

The sky is so cool :)

i dont think either can be downloaded from app stores

I used blender & Google Earth Pro
