The northern lights were spectacular last night in Michigan. These were taken at Whitefish Point. Haven’t even touched the best shots. #Auroraborealis #northernlights #PureMichigan #SonyAlpha @TamithaSkov @TweetAurora @ReedTimmerAccu @spann #StormHour #BeAlpha

What a crazy week of chasing. Got that beautiful Colorado supercell on Monday, the Missouri tornadoes yesterday, and then the wedgefest in Illinois into Indiana today. So many photos and video to go through over the coming days

@miwx97 Hey @miwx97 - I'm with ABC News, great capture - do you mind DMing?

Tornado near Coatsville, MO moments ago

A few pics from yesterday!

Saw a few tornadoes and solid supercell structure yesterday in E IA after initially targeting S WI. That drive east back to the Detroit area through storms never gets any easier.

GORGEOUS storm by Maquoketa, Iowa

@JordanS_WX @225MPH_EF4 I will not be stopping at any Culver’s as that place would kill me (dairy allergy)

@225MPH_EF4 @miwx97 the Newville culver’s is a state of the art facility! Located just 15 minutes north of Beloit!

Beloit, WI is calling and unfortunately I’ll answer and be there

@Stormchaser_TS The real fun one is affording last minute flights to go chasing. Lucky to have a city government job that gives me the flexibility to chase like that

Serious question How do you all afford to chase every single event? Some of you I get it you work for the media. But some of you, I have zero clue and I am genuinely curious how? Especially the ones that run from one side of the country to the other. I work in 7-4 job and I can’t even afford to be out for a week.

A few pics from the last couple days of chasing in Iowa and Illinois. Overall a fun trip despite no big tornadoes. Ready for more chase days coming up. Happy Easter!

Weak QLCS circulation went over Royal Oak/Clawson a bit ago. Visible cloud rotation but nothing crazy. Interesting way to end a few day stretch of chasing with a tornado warning at home!

3 tornadoes today in Eastern Iowa. Pretty fun event all things considered. Stayed ahead of the crowds most of the time.

Sun is coming out on the drive to Ottumwa. Looking to break my 4/2 curse today

@BuffaloLaz57818 110th St near Williamson

Well I guess I can say I’ve seen one of the strongest tornadoes on Earth now. Here’s the Greenfield tornado tearing apart wind turbines just before it moved into town. One of the only times I’ve really been intimidated by a tornado. #iawx #tornado #sonyalpha #stormhour #iowa

@Allexissmith444 Not worth ruining a vehicle over when there’s no tornadoes. Looks active coming up so I’m gearing up for April! That radar hole is so frustrating and that stupid lake by Celina. Quite content enjoying the slop and rain at home than in Ohio

@miwx97 I’m in Ann Arbor and I’m not chasing today either . Radar hole in Ohio annoys me so much and it just looks so sloppy and mainly hail

Not often I’ll willingly sit out a tornado watch an hour from home but today is one of those days

@JackPeltz1 I decided to look for owls instead and even that was a bust haha. Much better than driving to Ohio though

@miwx97 I’m doing the same. I’m at my friends in Detroit just chilling. Got halfway down there and left.
