South Dakota Tornado Machine - Mound City, SD - August 28, 2024
On August 28, 2024, a classic late season setup was evolving over the northern plains. I drove for over 10 hours from Colorado to catch the storm, and it did not disappoint. With 5 tornadoes and some of the most pristine supercell structure I have ever seen, this storm will be a contender for the best storm of 2024. Check out the incredible timelapse of the storm and then stick around for real time video of an EF-2 tornado as it carved across the South Dakota countryside.

On May 30, 2024, I scuttled through Odessa and Midland, two twin cities in southwestern Texas, to chase a storm that would plaster them with softball sized hail and tornadoes. Ahead of the storm, I turned back north to catch the second of these tornadoes and the structure above it as it carved a scar into brush and prairie and damaged oil pumps and equipment without causing any injuries.

One of the craziest tornadoes of the crazy 2024 tornado season touched down in southwestern Oklahoma on May 23, 2024, near the town of Eldorado. This tornado began as a multivortex before carouseling into a wedge-shaped monster, and finally vanished into the rain as a gorgeous white stovepipe tornado. The tornado did very little damage, but was measured by multiple mobile radar trucks in the ar...

Storm chasers can be hyperbolic, but to say that this tornado scared me more than any I've ever seen before is not hyperbole at all. This tornado impacted Elkhorn, Bennington, and other northwest side suburbs of Omaha, Nebraska, as part of the April 26, 2024 tornado outbreak in the Midwest. There were no fatalities from this tornado despite its appearance and violence as it mauled homes and bus...

Tornadoes and a Cyclic Supercell in Kansas - June 23, 2022

The 2022 storm season on the Great Plains died down before peak season really began, and a ridge dominated the central United States for most of May and June, preventing storms from forming and worsening a drought. So it was a surprise to see a decent setup for supercells evolving on the morning of June 23, and I drove to Kansas to see 6 tornadoes from one single storm as it rolled across the p...

As part of a week-long tornado outbreak sequence across the Great Plains in the United States, a marginal severe weather setup uptrended overnight into a potentially big day, with a single supercell expected to track across parts of three states from Wyoming into Nebraska and eventually Colorado. The Kimball, Nebraska tornado was the main event - a tall, dusty stovepipe-shaped tornado that marc...

On the second day of a classic mid-May tornado outbreak sequence in the central United States, a strong tornado formed and crossed the highway between 100 and 200 yards in front of me in the Nebraska Sandhills.

    Once I heard the reports I was expecting the worse, I thought it went directly through downtown Omaha. And they said ir was strong because it had tendrils coming out the sides As much of a tornado stan I am… this is my first time seeing this tornado. And i am glad it didn’t hit where I thought it did initially. This thing looks devastating.

    This tornado looks a lot like how I imagined the 1925 Tri-state tornado would have looked like throughout much of its life, especially at around 3:02 where the tornado is close to its peak width. The only major difference between the two is that the TST would have been a bit larger and probably had a slightly lower cloud base.
