I can't support Twitter anymore. I was going to hold out until after the election, but not with shit like this. I am shifting over to here on Bluesky. You may see some personal posts sprinkled in with my photos from here on out. Thanks for being a much nicer place to be. I love y'all. 💜

Timelapse of the most powerful storm I have ever chased, near Etowah, OK on 04-19-23. In just 40 mins, this storm spawned 5 tornadoes, including two sets of twins, w/ 2 EF2s and an EF3. It then went on to produce a 1.25 mile wide tornado that hit Shawnee, OK. Storms/views like this are why I chase.

Here is the most remarkable event I've filmed. Close-up drone footage of a powerful eruption of Guatemala's Volcán de Fuego at sunrise in March of 2023. Thousands of massive pyroclastics rained down around the drone. I can't believe the drone survived this blast. Link below for 4K version on YT! 👇

I drove out into the middle of nowhere in southern Idaho and hiked several miles further in search of a small hole in the ground. Upon finding it, I felt like I was climbing down into a magical cave straight out of Skyrim.

Just saw that we can finally post videos now! I can't wait to share some of my footage with y'all here. As a little teaser, here is a brief look at the Fagradalsfjall eruption in Iceland, 2021.
