Excited to announce that my method for estimating wind speeds based on lofted debris in tornadoes was used as contextual evidence for upgrading the Enderlin, ND tornado to an EF5!

A good reminder that, under the right conditions, significant tornadoes can absolutely occur in very rough terrain and at high elevations. See thread below 👇👇

High Uintas Wilderness, UT F3 #Tornado – August 11, 1993! One of the strongest and most unique tornadoes in Utah history struck the remote Uintas Mountains, about 80 miles east of Salt Lake City. It was one of only two of its kind and produced tree damage reminiscent of the 1987 Teton Wilderness F4 tornado—only in even higher, more rugged terrain. tornadotalk.com/high-uintas-wi… #utwx #OTD #tornadohistory

@CraigBaird Trying out local food in small towns is one of my favourite aspects of doing field work! The Blanshard hotel in Oak River, MB & Lazy Susan Restaurant in Trochu, AB are both standouts.

Part of traveling around Canada this summer is visiting small town diners and supporting local businesses, rather than going for chain restaurants.
Today it’s breakfast at Travellers in Valleyview, Alberta, which has been operating since 1991.

The phenomena that occurred last night is not *technically* a wake low. It was a mesoscale convective vortex (MCV) / Bookend Vortex coupled with a Rear Inflow Jet.
Warning: This is a pedantic series of posts, but it's the internet, you get what you signed up for. And learn.

No matter what happens, I am determined to put this book into the world anyway. Because life is short. And I believe in me, even if no one else does.
Standing on the edge, about to jump off the cliff.
Again.
Wish me luck, friends. 🍀
