eyewall

yep figured you got some hail. I had the drone up here and will post some shots in a bit.

Looked like quite a core came over you.

Nice hook on the cell in southwestern VT. Going to be rough on the Long Trail.

This entire summer sucks. #ClimateChanged

That makes sense lol. I saw a pic from Lake Placid that looked pretty impressive.

Anyone up there catch the aurora last night?

Storm over North Hills in Raleigh:

Thank you!

Pulse severe thunderstorm with downburst as it approached Knightdale looking from eastern Raleigh via drone (7/7/22):

We really need some rain out this way. We missed out on what the Triad got yesterday.

We had quite the shelf cloud in Raleigh on 6/16:

One more:

Still shots:

yeah I truthfully lucked out to get to this position being it was part of a QLCS. This is the 8x speed version:

The meso that went on to prompt the Raleigh area tornado warning:

From where there was a notch in the line this morning and an area of rotation just outside Wilton, NC (east of Butner):

Yesterday (5/23) in Raleigh:

On that same storm this was the rotating wall cloud prior the tornado pics I posted. Unfortunately my actual tornado video is useless as we were driving on a dirt road trying to keep up. I did edit some video stills from that though:

I just got back to North Carolina but was on that Truscott/Crowell storm that eventually got the tour van. It was a difficult chase because of road options (or lack thereof). The chaser convergence once we got back to pavement in Truscott was insane. I didn't get the Tor most have seen pics/vid of but I did get the one before that while trying to keep up on the dirt road (240 I think). This was grit and determination for sure. I had no interest in "zero metering" willfully or otherwise. The one downside for me is I didn't get into a position to use the drone. Here are some pics:

What an incredible day it was! I was on the road home after chasing in TX/OK. I got this tor:

It is very toasty for sure.

Thank you

All the final edits from April 7th and I promise I'm done:

I am re-editing the Apr 7th photos with much less haste this go around (more to come):
