It's ok to get lost in the raw, untamed dance of tornadoes—nature's fierce masterpiece spiraling through the sky. There's something humbling, almost sacred, about witnessing such power in person. It pulls you into the moment, reminds you how small we are, yet how alive we feel in the face of the wild. Grateful for this planet's breathtaking drama. Here's a quick look at today's tornado south of North Platte, Nebraska.

I’m holding off on posting yesterday’s tornado content because I shot it in D-Log and it requires processing, but it’ll sure be something when I can find a few hours. It’s important to focus on the tornado and not the chaos. I chose this position, illegally parked in the middle of the lane, because it gave me the best compromise of up close and “don’t forget to look up.” I want to see the whole tornado, not the bottom 10 feet of it. *I put the snarky comment about position in because some of the h8rs are complaining about it, despite me being the FIRST one there and zero other cars on the road.

Project WeatherEye is officially announcing RISE-26 - (high) Resolution Intelligence into Storm Environments. It's a first-of-its-kind, crowd funded mission built to redefine how we observe severe weather. Launching in Spring 2026, RISE-26 brings together: 🌩 1-second upper-air soundings High-resolution radiosondes streaming temperature, dewpoint, pressure, wind, and storm ingredients every single second from ground to near-space, updating live on your device as storms evolve. No more waiting. 📡 A targeted surface probe network Dozens of rapidly deployable instruments sampling the storm environment at scales no fixed mesonet can reach. Boundaries, moisture pools, outflow… all revealed instantly. 🎈 Storm-scale intelligence Small tracer balloons launched into the storm’s actual inflow notch, investigating the air that feeds a supercell in real time. Data goes straight to our servers within seconds. 🎥 A multi-state live video grid High-definition, ultra-low-latency cameras documenting every angle of storm structure, stitched together with live data for unmatched situational awareness. 🚗 A coordinated field team Chasers, meteorologists, engineers, analysts, and deployment specialists working as one unified observing system , adapting instantly as the atmosphere changes. RISE-26 is built to define the storm environment with unprecedented clarity, advance atmospheric science, improve real-time awareness, and inspire a new generation of severe-weather understanding. Over the next seval months, you'll learn all about every detail. This isn’t just research. This is the atmosphere, revealed.

Don't mind us, just launching weather balloons at 1AM in the Hampton Inn parking lot. In seriousness, these rawinsondes give us a full picture of the atmosphere all the way up to about 70,000 feet in this configuration. This one reached about 60,000 feet, likely due to icing on the balloon skin, but also recorded a minimum temperature of -95F along the way. RadarOmega Project WeatherEye

Yesterday, we launched a radiosonde between two tornado warned supercells in Illinois. This one is a 100g balloon and usually goes to about 65,000 feet, but we’ve found mean burst altitude is closer to 15,000 when ingested into an updraft like what happened here. Here’s a look at the entire launch process. We have an extremely dedicated team and audience making this happen. You can find more about RISE-26 at Project WeatherEye RadarOmega

Get ready—Project WeatherEye launches NOW, igniting a revolutionary live-streaming field project that redefines weather content. Join us for an electrifying front-row seat as we engineer, build, and deploy cutting-edge cameras into the heart of storm paths—tornadoes, hail cores, floods, and blizzards—delivering raw, real-time action you won’t find anywhere else. This isn’t just watching; it’s 100% audience-driven engagement, with live streams of every build, test, and deployment on *Be sure to follow our new X account: Project WeatherEye

This country must UNITE. It’s not right versus left or black versus white. It has become everyone versus evil. Someone who voted democrat isn’t evil for voting left. Someone who voted republican isn’t evil for voting right. We have a bipartisan issue here and it is violence. I feel very strongly about our safety and am trying to get that message out to all 70,000 of you who follow expecting to hear it. Please take actions to keep yourself and family safe.

Just a little update. I know.. you’re all like those are the wrong color lights! And you’re right. However these are capable of all 5 warning colors, so I’ll just reconfigure them to red/blue and I’ll be compliant with David Payne and channel 9’s garbage law they’re trying to pass. You’re move channel 9. My lights are way better than the out of sync crap you guys run. B. Dean Berry back me up here

I know it doesn't look like much cropped in, but this is a modest but huge accomplishment for the Project WeatherEye team! We calculated the vector of this tornado and assumed it would stay down on the ground, but it dissipated, which is good because had it hit the camera it would have also taken a path right thru Clarksville, Texas. Think of this more as a proof of concept than anything, but this is much greater of a project than just putting a camera somewhere on a tree. There's so much technology and back-end infrastructure that it's not even funny. I've seen lots of people work very hard to make this happen, one of them being myself, and I'm happy we were able to mark down our first tornado documentation, albeit a pretty tiny one.
