Large tornado earlier in Lincoln Cross and I-80 right in front of me

@WickyDubs2 Mid

What type of storm chaser are you?

@MatthewRacila @a_dose_of_wx Yes that is my Tundra

@nmjameswilson @a_dose_of_wx You must’ve been right in front of me

Ipava, Illinois - 6/11/2026

@a_dose_of_wx Foraker! 38 seconds of power! 😂

TOTY Power Rankings through July 13th, 2026 1. Enid OK 2. Washburn IL 3. Streator IL 4. Dwight-Reddick IL 5. Saint Libory NE 6. Union City MI 7. Braman, OK 8. Fort Stockton, Tx 9. Effingham, IL 10. Dix, IL HMs: Sims IL, Rochester MN, Wyoming, IA, Truman MN, Webb IA that could probably be argued for top 10

@a_dose_of_wx It definitely had its moment.

People kinda shit on Ipava a lot because the generational tornadoes were North, but it is essentially Temu Arnett i don’t think it’s a bad tornado

@stormchasevideo True and thanks man

@nmjameswilson It’s all good. Day 1 is better than no more days. Chin up, homie. You got my number.

@JayLesykWX @melnyk_photos Reminds me of this one in Springer Oklahoma in 2020.

Intense to violent tornado near Tulliby Lake, Alberta earlier this afternoon (with @melnyk_photos) #abstorm #skstorm

@wxkylegillett @a_dose_of_wx Definitely Jarrell

What does everyone consider the "most recognizable" tornado of all time to be? The tornado you can identify immediately from just one photo? For me its Briggs bc @a_dose_of_wx won't stop posting it.

@MatthewCappucci Wray

Harlan, Plevna and McCook had some high-contrast, classic RFD cuts; so did Effingham. For folks at home — the rear flank downdraft (RFD) cut is a slice carved into the storm where cool, dry and dense air punches into, and tightens, the circulation, squeezing it into a tornado:

@fifamedia Convenient

Before England’s goal in minute 45+2 against Norway, the sensor in the Connected Ball showed no peak in the 'heartbeat of the ball' when in the air, and therefore no evidence that the ball touched the overhead wire and changed the movement of the ball.

@oklahomachaser I only have a laptop so I guess I have to buy another external hard drive

@nmjameswilson Essentially a computer with a bunch of drives that you dump your data to and it backs it up automatically and off site

What do you use to store your insta 360 videos? I'm running out of space with multiple external hard drives. #insta360 #storage

@oklahomachaser I'll have to look into what that is as I have too many drives... One fail away

@nmjameswilson Seems like you may need to build a NAS to store footage on

@LadyALover95 Why again did we save your country from the Nazi? 🤔

At the end of the day, we humiliated the fuck out of the Americans and that truly is almost as good as winning the whole thing.

@TheNaderMike @AlexPortteus It was noice

One month ago was Ipavia and the biggest fumble of me life after I originally targeted Chillicothe, IL. But hey Ipavia was cool. Shoutout to my chase partner @AlexPortteus for the photo.

@oklahomachaser BTW brother I know how that time was for you. If you ever feel that way again I am ALWAYS here!

@oklahomachaser Wow absolutely perfect answer to now what seems like a silly question. It's funny after so many that we can still have special tornadoes due to other factors.

@ben_williams_wx If it hit more it would have been... It was a lot stronger than people know.

@nmjameswilson Unfortunately it’s hardly top 5

Top 10 tornadoes I’ve chased 1. Gary, SD 2. El Dorado, OK 3. Watertown, SD 4. Enderlin, ND 5. Clear Lake, SD 6. Spiritwood, ND 7. Braman, OK 8. Arnett, OK 9. Yukon, OK 10. Springer OK Honorable mentions: Motley, MN Belmont, WI Sims, IL Wheatfield, IL Oxbow, SK

@ConvChronicles Still waiting for the NM portion to start... It's a bit later this year.

Monsoon season is revving up across the Desert Southwest, beginning in earnest today in southern Arizona, where SPC has outlined a Slight Risk (level 2/5). The monsoon high has shifted north a bit into Utah/Colorado, allowing for regionally rich moisture to creep into southern Arizona and vicinity. This coincides with slightly enhanced easterly flow around the base of the high. As a result, storms that develop on the higher terrain should organize and move into the lower deserts, posing a risk for damaging wind gusts, blowing dust, and isolated large hail.
