I see that gerrymander 👀

Tons of heavy, wet snow in the trees in south Denver pushing branches to the ground. Just had to shake the snow out of my small trees to save them

The #tornado pushed a full tanker truck into a pond along Loop 143 (see map). It then struck a pickup truck on the same highway I used as my escape route. I flashed my lights to warn the oncoming driver but the tornado behind me became shrouded in rain, rendering it nearly invisible.

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.
