This is something I have never seen before on satellite. Clouds perfectly outlining roads. Just incredibly neat imagery of Houston, Texas this morning. Massive shoutout to Ethan Mok who discovered it.

The impressive tornado scar from the EF3 that ripped across southwest Mississippi last week. It went through an area that was on fire about two months prior.

The loud boom heard in Cleveland and the light seen across the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic... it was a meteor! GOES-19's geostationary lightning mapper picked up the brief flash of light.

Our atmosphere is powerful, complex, and sometimes just straight up.... freaky. Open and closed cell stratocumulus oscillate as ships cut through them forming tracks in the clouds.

This is one of the wilder satellite animations I've seen in a minute... Wildfires produce their own thunderstorms while smoke wraps around a low pressure. What a fascinating view out of southern Kansas this evening.

von Karman vortices are legitimately one of the coolest things our Earth creates. These gorgeous swirls formed off of Guadalupe Island earlier this week. Watch these wondrous whirls go.
