***MUST SEE TV***
Eyewitness account of the F-35 Crash. I am warning y'all, you ain't ready for this.
I have had about 2 dozen people send me this on Facebook. I am in stitches. Deceased. I have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.
This was a 500,000 gallon water tower in downtown Mayfield that took a direct hit from the tornado then subsequently collapsed, creating a huge crater underneath it, and pulling its concrete footers out of the ground.

Wonder if these little anomalies a couple mins after it happened was the ground literally shaking from the double play that ended the Braves game at around 9:16 or so. Two stations picked up “something” around the same time a few mins later and both were around the same distance…
Refs have not only blown 2 fumbles in 2 consecutive drives resulting in touchdowns for Clemson, but neither play was even reviewed. Wow
NC State fans have reason to be steamed.
Simply incredible storm structure yesterday evening south of Sublette, Kansas. This storm had just went tornado warned and had what appeared to be a cone shaped funnel cloud tucked in behind a ragged wall cloud.

This is beyond insane. A single discrete supercell off the coast from Miami developed shortly before 2pm today and apparently latched onto some mesoscale boundary. Since then, over the course of the last 3hrs and 30mins it has moved a total of about 14 miles. This gives you a…
Even though I was dead tired after chasing for a little over 18hrs and over some 958 miles, stopping at an exit on I-20 in rural Aiken County, SC last night to shoot some lightning was a great decision because Mother Nature put on a spectacular show.

After listening to the audio and knowing the timestamps I am fairly certain the pilot flew the F-35 into a developing mesocyclone.

Gonna have some insanely fast intercontinental flights from North America to Europe tonight thanks to the this strengthening upper jet with peak winds near 185kts (212mph).
Right now there are 66 flights achieving speeds over 620kts (713mph) across the ground.
Got victims trapped in the candle factory on 45. Entire wall collapsed on people. Trying to drive through debris to get to them. Done tweeting. Pray for mayfield

I’ve known Drew for years and he was the epitome of what selflessness is all about. Not only was he a police officer but he was also a firefighter and emt. A shining example of what public service is all about.
This morning his life was cut short while serving the public. Hero.
Lightning over downtown Columbia, SC last night as storms pushed through the area. I’ve been trying to get this shot for months and I almost called it a night last night, but decided to stay an extra 20 minutes & I’m glad I did!

I don’t know what kinda wind speed it takes to slab big 2 story relatively new construction lake homes but my word. This entire point we’re currently on is just destroyed.
Unbelievable.
It’s one thing to chase supercells on the Great Plains all aggressive and sometimes do dumb things. I get it.
However.
If you have never seen storm surge in person, have never chased a hurricane let alone a potential intensifying major at landfall, the Big Bend of Florida is…

Man, what a chase day. Got on 3 storms today that all went tornado warned at one point or another and finished off the day with this laminar stacked supercell just outside of Sublette, Kansas. This storm made a full transition from LP, Classic, then HP.

ATC audio between Charleston App and "SWEDE11," which I believe is the

Approach tries to raise SWEDE11 and 12 (wingman) on frequency. Finally, raises "12" who mentions losing primary contact. ATC advises that "11" will be considered NORDO.

@jobielagrangeWx
It’s an attempt of elevated convection with a cumulus updraft that is on the struggle bus probably due to a lack of moisture near the LCL. But certainly some wind shear there which is helping to sculpt that updraft into the broccoli stalk. That’s really cool.
