For #TornadoTuesday, the May 18, 2013 Rozel, Kansas #tornado as it was first touching down. This sunset tornado was one of the most photogenic @pondert.art and I have ever witnessed. #WxSky

Stormy Christmas Eve ahead for California! Some #tornado/waterspout potential exists for the coast and Central Valley, along with a high risk of excessive rainfall in SoCal, including the L.A. metro area. Flooding and mudslides are looking likely. #cawx #WxSky #losangeles

One of our last views of our backyard in Moore is a dusting a wet snow. On the day we’re loading the moving truck. On my birthday. #WxSky

Video shows lava shot over 1,000 feet into the air from Hawaii's Kilauea volcano on Sunday. The impressive eruption was accompanied by a "volnado," or a tornado-like swirl of dust and ash caused by the contrast between the heated air near the lava and the cooler ambient air.

Typhoon #Kalmaegi has intensified to the equivalent of a category 4 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale with maximum sustained winds of 130 mph. It will be making landfall in the next several hours over central Vietnam.

Supercells coming ashore today on the Oregon and northern California coasts could pose a brief #tornado threat. SPC has issued a 2% risk area. #orwx #cawx #WxSky

Surface analysis map from 13 years ago today as former Hurricane Sandy moved inland. I thickened the "outermost closed isobar" to highlight the size of that enormous low pressure system.

#Melissa's landfall intensity of 185 mph/892 mb ties it with the Florida Key's Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 as the record minimum pressure of any TC making landfall *anywhere* the NATL basin. I feel for the residents of #Jamaica 😞 Zoomed in G19 visible meso loop courtesy of @cyclonicwx.bsky.social

#Melissa makes landfall in southwestern Jamaica near New Hope as a powerful category 5 hurricane. For the latest updates visit hurricanes.gov

10/27 5am EDT: #Melissa has strengthened to a Category 5 hurricane with 160 mph winds and a 917 mb central pressure, confirmed by the Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunters. Conditions in #Jamaica will rapidly deteriorate later today and tonight. See hurricanes.gov for the latest details.

The next few days are looking catastrophic for Jamaica. Thinking of residents there. Such a huge threat to life and property. #Melissa #WxSky
