Sunset lit anvil of the cumulonimbus supercell that brought golf ball sized hail to #FtWorth within the last 90mins. Meanwhile, a skinny updraft reaching for the sky over the #DFW metroplex. Views from my window seat aboard @aircanada.bsky.social flight #AC1030 — 8:39p CDT #TXwx #DFWwx

A long wait for departure with only one ascent option available out of @dfwairport.bsky.social this evening — but a beautiful sunset w/ the anvil of a supercell brightly lit from underneath & some anticrepuscular rays. 8:20p CDT #DFWwx #TXwx #ShareYourWeather #Chasecation #Chasecation2025

Boarding Complete! Looks like severe thunderstorms will stay just enough to our south for an on time departure. Those thunderstorms to the south producing large hail, heavy rain, strong winds and freq lightning. #AC1030 #DFW ✈️ #YYZ #Chasecation #Chasecation2025 #DFWwx #TXwx

Enjoying some poolside rays and heat before my trek back to Vancouver — wishing I could stay to track storms a bit longer but I’ll be back to chase another day! ☀️😎 #TXwx #Chasecation #Chasecation2025

A great evening catching up with friend & storm chaser @jordanhallwx.bsky.social! We had a great time reconnecting and sharing stories — and of course, I sent him off with a pound of Tim Hortons coffee! Nice to see you Jordan; we missed you @sierralindsey3.bsky.social #Chasecation #Chasecation2025

Took a totally accidental wrong turn & somehow ended up in this random driveway w/ a fleet of tornado-chasing vehicles, past/present. Either we found storm chaser heaven or Google Maps is now powered by adrenaline! Nice catching up with Dr Reed Timmer! #NeverStopChasing #TeamDominator

Back in Dallas and showered — was nice to get that dust & sand out of my hair and more importantly to hear it seems damage was minimal from Thursday’s storms! 😌 #TXwx

@thewxstore.bsky.social & I watched gauge nervously for 30mins on the Interstate after it overheated initially — just needed to add some more coolant & let er run w/ cap off. Now we’re golden. Rest tonight & off to the next target tomorrow! #NeverStopChasing #Chasecation #Chasecation2025

If anyone is looking for their medium sized @yeticoolers.bsky.social, it’s on the I-35 at this location. Know that it can damage a radiator, get dragged 200ft, and still not break. @thewxstore.bsky.social’s vehicle radiator however is no match. 😑 maps.app.goo.gl/t6nhPGazkgmr...

No big deal — only 60,000ft topped MCC with 70mph wind gusts, hail and heavy rain barreling at us. Not sure I’ve ever been near storms with tops that high?! Must be epic flying around these!! #TXwx

Nothing like hook-slicing when the tornado warning tone-alert comes on. Another chaser apparently saw the tornado. Video just to the E of Flugrath TX — 737p CT #TXwx @thewxstore.bsky.social
