Here's a closeup of the fireball. I could actually hear the thunderous WHOOSH as it erupted in flame after appearing to be struck by a large piece of debris from the #tornado

June 15, 2023: As many were just going about their day, this #tornado formed and immediately began to carve an EF3 damage path through Perryton, TX. After impacting residential and downtown areas, the tornado collapsed a radio tower and exploded a fuel storage tank as I rushed to escape

From a 0% "marginal" day to a confirmed #supercell #tornado — sometimes the high plains over-deliver 🌪️
May 25, 2017 I caught this spinner in Yuma County, CO, on timelapse — Turretcam footage shows clear ground circulation (arrow) forming right on the inflow boundary. Full chase log link in 🧵

Everyone remembers Wray, but for a few the magic started in Eckley. May 7, 2016 I blasted east, betting on a #supercell cluster erupting near the state border. Just as I arrived this scene unfolded — a ghostly #tornado touching down north of Eckley, #Colorado 🌪️ Full chase log link in 🧵

It's gonna be May 🌪️ in 71 days. Tornadoes will again be roaming the Plains.

Flashback: May 17, 2019 I was chasing this monster #supercell near McCook #Nebraska. After a white-knuckle detour through a torrential rain core, I broke out just in time to intercept this EF-1 #tornado near Farnam.
