Twins! Twin funnels just north of Allison, Iowa on June 28, 2015. Some of the ingredients associated with whats called a cyclic supercell though they are extremely rare. More than one tornado from one individual storm is something very few will ever witness.

Been too long! Fresh images from August 13th near New Haven, Iowa. One well formed storm producing a defined horseshoe with a wall cloud attached. It persisted for quite a while until the outflow took over. I saw on radar it did cycle once more after I let it drift off.

So ready to get winter over and chase something!

On Friday afternoon I intercepted several intense supercell thunderstorms in Minnesota and Wisconsin. A moderate outlook with a high probability of strong tornadoes was issued.

Though I didn't witness any tornadoes, the skies were still incredible!

Had some interesting skies yesterday at the border! A short lived wall cloud lowered from an isolated cell near Lyle, Minnesota. The storms all eventually lined out which produced a stunning shelf cloud that moved along the IA/MN border before breaking apart near Decorah.

Haven't had much luck lately but finally last night a pair of storms made for an interesting sky!

It all started near Mason City at sunset. The main storm had an anvil and some small hail showed up on radar so I moved southeast to head it off. It paid off.
