Hokie Storm Chasers

Gas station meetup with @hokiestorm 😃

Storms of this magnitude don't happen often in Va, but warnings for extremely severe storms will be treated differently from now on than the marginal severe storms (58+ mph winds, 1-inch hail) we more typically get.

A huge thank you to @DelaneyWearden and @wsls for putting together a fantastic wrap-up on the 2021 chase. You can watch the video and read the article here: wsls.com/weather/2021/0…

The 2021 crew is safely back in Blacksburg after an amazing trip. See you in 2022!

Shelf cloud on a storm just north of Wakeeney, KS. #kswx #stormhour

Beautiful shelf cloud and #mammatus clouds right now near just NW of Wakeeney, KS! #kswx

Day 7 of @hokiestorm was a great display of nature's fireworks! Saw a beautiful rain-free base with a classic supercell and a monster HP supercell in the Texas Panhandle! #txwx #StormHour

Beastly HP supercell earlier west of Adrian, TX. ⚡️ ⚡️ #txwx #stormhour

And a GORGEOUS full rainbow behind the storm! #txwx @hokiestorm

Hey @NWSAmarillo, took some quarter to half dollar size hail at the Valero just west of Adrian. Couldn’t grab a picture of the hail since we were taking shelter.

BEAUTIFUL supercell near Adrian, TX! @hokiestorm #txwx #stormhour

Day 6 of @hokiestorm was incredible! Saw a nice shelf cloud near Limon, CO. This was followed by a sunset supercell intercept near Eads, CO! #StormHour #cowx

Day 4 was incredible! First storm was an incredible Tornado Warned HP Supercell near Avondale, CO. There was baseball hail reported in this core! #StormHour #cowx @hokiestorm

Unbelievable structure on a HP tornado warned beast near #Avondale, CO! This storm flipped multiple train cars and dropped baseball sized hail as well. Check out those colors with the hail core! #cowx #stormhour

Day 4 Part II: Saw two supercells merge! I had never experienced a merger quite as photogenic as this one! @hokiestorm #cowx
