Still my favorite timelapse. It captures a rear-flank downdraft surging in, counter-rotating vortices swirling, and the stunning moment of full condensation. May 24, 2016 - Dodge City, Kansas

I’ve chased tornadoes for almost 25 years. And in that time, only one has ever chased me. It was, of course, the El Reno, OK tornado of 5/31/13. It was 2.6 miles at its widest, had winds > 300 mph, and moved faster than 50 mph. For the first time, here is my full story: 1/25

The most violent tornadoes can produce winds in excess of 300 mph. What's wild, is that theoretically, these winds can be even stronger. Here's the atmospheric process that makes this possible: 1/12

The last recorded EF5 tornado, hitting Moore, Oklahoma on May 20, 2013. To this day, I've not seen more intense motion in a tornado.

One of the most awesome things I've ever seen. When this tornado popped out of the storm's shadow, it seemed as if it caught fire. Mulvane, KS - June 12, 2004

14 years ago today, we chased this infamous multi-vortex tornado near Tushka, OK. Our only road was directly in the tornado’s path, with trees falling ahead of us and huge hail pounding the area behind us. It was one of the wildest chases I’ve been on!

The Sulphur, Oklahoma tornado on May 9, 2016, was the ultimate wedge: A large, violent tornado with a well-defined funnel that was completely visible. I've seen a lot of big tornadoes, but none as visually striking as this one.

I've never posted this one before. This is the mature stage of the Rozel, Kansas EF4 tornado on 5/18/13. Reason being, I had a 3-minute argument with my chase partner about whether we should get closer. 😂

In the spring of 2008, I had the opportunity to chase storms with the Doppler on Wheels (DOW) and the Tornado Intercept Vehicle (TIV). Initially, I volunteered to support the DOW team, but plans shifted, and the TIV group ended up needing my help instead. My role was to assist a Discovery Channel cameraman in safely capturing footage of the TIV being struck by a tornado. The catch was, we wouldn't have an armor-plated vehicle. As scary as it sounded, I was thrilled. It was the perfect excuse to get closer to tornadoes than I ever imagined—and that's exactly what we did. And it couldn’t have been more fun! Here’s the first tornado we encountered from the prolific Glen Elder-Tipton, Kansas tornadic supercell on May 29th.
