And lastly, I'm trying to find storm chasers to follow here on the Fediverse. I know a lot of have moved from Twitter to Bluesky, but I was really hoping to find a good number of folks on Mastodon and such. With resources for NOAA and related in question, it's good to get as much information from boots on the ground as possible. I'll follow Bluesky but I'd rather follow Mastodon. #stormchaser #stormchasing
I wonder what the payoffs are for storm chasing. Do they ink a deal with meteorological streamers like Ryan Hall, getting a few hundred bucks for the evening and bonus payouts if they capture a big one? Do they then try to sell the best “worst” footage to major networks and publish supercuts on YT for ad revenue?
Small government Republicans in Oklahoma are still at it:

A nice little storm moved across El Valle del Cauca to our north just before dinner. got a few bolts, this one being the best.

The next time one of Oklahoma's politicians tells you they're for smaller gov't or limited gov't, ask them whether government licensing storm chasers for hundreds of dollars per year is small or limited.

For those following the new bill passing through Oklahoma around storm chasing, here's an excellent video breaking down the specifics of the bill.
tl;dr - go get 'em toto

These guys are chasing NOLA snow like it's Buffalo, NY. #stormchasing #LAwx #snow #NOLA
I just released a new "Channel Trailer" for my YouTube channel. I'm discontinuing the promotion of my channel on Meta platforms this coming week. Any and all boosts, if you feel they're warranted, are very much appreciated.
Again, I love the forecasters at the NWS Tucson office. They like to have fun with the Weather Discussion dialog. Their writing is not particularly dry during this very dry and warm weather pattern.
I made a year end compilation of sorts of my storm chasing and hiking adventures featured on my YouTube channel. #stormchasing #hiking #YouTube
I know I was just one of hundreds out there, but spotting yourself in a year end wrap up video about the incredible number of tornadoes in the U.S. in 2024 rather made my day.
That's me on the left in this screen grab.

Shiprock, from my 1500 mile storm chasing trip out there this fall. Lightning was striking all over the place, but always too far west or north or south or way out east or on the wrong side or I was in the rain or or or... But I got this one!
At first I thought "eh, both the rock and bolt are so tiny and far away and hazy that it won't amount to much," but it was sharp enough that I could crop in, up-res it, dehaze it, sharpen up the bolt and end up with a pretty spectacular shot. It's going in my print sales lineup (if I can ever resolve all the vexing website setbacks), so hit me up if you want to be notified when it's available.
