Ten years ago today… @pondert.art and I didn’t see Simla, but we got this #tornado moving towards Longmont, CO. #cowx #WxSky

In June 1956, 18-year-old David Hoadley borrowed his parents car in Bismarck, SD and set off to look for thunderstorms and tornadoes by himself, without computer forecast models, without cell phones, the internet, or even interstate highways. Today he announced the end of his stormchasing career.

Finally, after playing tag with this supercell for over 4 hours in New Mexico and Texas we entered the maw of the beast south of Perryton. 28th May 2025 (not for media use)

I’m trying to eventually transition to here from X. Thank you for the new followers and the interactions. Here’s another photo of tonight’s tornado in Floyd, NM.

It is rare for me to be caught off-guard by a tornado, but it sometimes happens. I knew I was close to the rotation, but when I looked in the mirror and saw ground rotation, I was really surprised! The first of many tornadoes yesterday. This one started just northwest of Merino Colorado.

Did you receive a warning of a dangerous storm headed in your direction? Thank the National Weather Service!

Whether you get your forecast from an app on your phone, a website or a meteorologist on TV, most of the underlying information comes from the federal government. By @rhersher.bsky.social

Mission #1 of @nsficechip.bsky.social with @dowfacility.bsky.social in the books. Just a reminder…when operating, radar data will be available at: svr.guru/index.php (but be patient if not 😁)

Reminder: Never stop under #overpasses during a #tornado or #hail! It’s extremely dangerous and could lead to serious injuries or even death for yourself and others. This is an example from northwest St. Louis 2 days ago as the tornado was passing near the area. #WeatherSafety #SevereWeather

NWS meteorologists will do everything they can to uphold the NWS mission and save lives despite already being stretched so thin. The government needs to stop treating them as our enemies.
