It’d been ten days since my most recent tornado. Prior to that it had been several years, and a time zone. Chasing has always been in my blood. If you saw someone flash you the peace sign ✌🏻today with CT plates, that was me. Be well.

@JoelDMWx Wow. Nothing will ever amaze me more than when Mother Nature hits full send. 0 to 60 in no time flat is sometimes an understatement

I’d rather get into a fistfight with a velociraptor than play the game with a gentleman called Geoff. I get a bit spooked by people with really long necks. It’s my weaknesses But please tell no one.

This photo still gives me goosebumps because it’s hard to capture the delicate balance between instability and shear in a single frame. Better to be lucky than good ;)

@CRyanMauk I still remember the smell of the natural gas from Cactus, TX in 2007. That experience shook me to my core. I still cringe a bit when I hear my own excitement when the tornado came out of the rain. Not all chases are fun, and yet we’re slowly shaped by each event.

15 years ago today 🤯. This is far from A+ footage, but was one of our most educational (re: what NOT to do while filming) chases. It was the biggest tornado I had ever seen at that point and was in and out of the rain. 2min snippet of the 3/4-mi wide 4/21/07 Cactus, TX EF2:

Amen and I echo the same sentiment. Plevna KS. Crosby MN. It’s quite the paradox. It’s important to say this out loud and to make the distinction between people upset about their footage not making more money because others give it away, and those of us who could care less. 🎯

@CRyanMauk The hardest part of chasing for me is reconciling the notion that my best day is perhaps someone else’s worst. Ultimately that disconnect guided me to becoming an EMT. I love tornadoes, but I hate what they sometimes leave behind. 🫶🏼

@a_guidarelli My ex spent about $3,000 on our first date. He was rewarded, though.

if you’re spending $252 on a first date you’re a loser and have nobody to blame but yourself

I personally am not out there filming tornadoes to make money. There’s something about profiting off of what might be the worst day of somebody’s life that doesn’t really sit well with me.

I was ten years old when this tornado occurred; I probably would’ve said ten and a half if asked.
