Despite the year's challenges, 2020 was my favorite year of chasing, simply for the fact I was able to get out more. Even snagged an elusive tor (Springer). Here's a few of my faves. #arwx #kswx #okwx #txwx

The genesis of the monster supercell that churned for hundreds of miles and spawned multiple tornadoes in Oklahoma and Arkansas on May 25/26. This was our view looking south near I-35 along the KS/OK border around 9 p.m.

@VortexChasing @jamesburch93 @MattMapMaker @WXgage Here's a 400mm crop. Pretty wild. Just happened to have a zoom lens on me that day, lol.

@VortexChasing @jamesburch93 @MattMapMaker @WXgage What a crazy day that was! We saw the horseshoe developing and got east in a hurry. Maybe two minutes later, it dropped, and kept growing.

[Mark Mondier @DamagedSky]

@PaulKnightly Sweet! Yeah, it ramped up just as it crossed the metro area.

Storm just north of Fayetteville had "that look" for a sec. #arwx @VortexChasing @5NEWSGarrett @weatherdan

@roessletwx Thanks! 🙌

[Mark Mondier @DamagedSky]

One year ago today, we had a pre-tay, pre-tay decent view of a supercell. #kswx @VortexChasing

[Mark Mondier @DamagedSky]

What a day! Probably the coolest structure I've seen in my life.

[Mark Mondier @DamagedSky]

@THV11 That’s fine, yes.

[Mark Mondier @DamagedSky]

Major damage at Crawford County Courthouse. #arwx @5NEWSGarrett @weatherdan @VortexChasing @dodgrizz46

Just intercepted a multi vortex tornado near Satartia, Mississippi. UNREAL. Footage coming later. Very close intercept. #mswx @NWSJacksonMS @ReedTimmerAccu

@akemp_47 @Osterhout15 @ARstormHunters Yeah ... this is absurd, ha. Wall-hanger for sure!

[Mark Mondier @DamagedSky]

@arianaelena97 Incredible shot, Ariana!

[Mark Mondier @DamagedSky]

@Osterhout15 Congrats, man! Wish I was out there today! Definitely one you'll remember.

[Mark Mondier @DamagedSky]

@VortexChasing @justinbnd @WxZachary What a day! This simultaneously feels like 5 years ago and 5 days ago, ha. Who knew that would end up being one of the better tors of the season.

[Mark Mondier @DamagedSky]

@LaurieHindman @VortexChasing @weatherdan @5NEWSGarrett @spann Yep! Flew it up to around 300 feet for this one I believe.

[Mark Mondier @DamagedSky]

Caught a spectacular sun pillar over a gorgeous wintry scene in Fayetteville this evening. #arwx @VortexChasing @weatherdan @5NEWSGarrett @spann

[Mark Mondier @DamagedSky]

Thanks for the shout out, guys! Was a moment we'll never forget.

[Storm Photos of the Year @thestormys]

Love this passing supercell captured by @DamagedSky near Wade, Oklahoma last April 24th. One of the more unique structures Mark has seen while chasing! #thestormys #stormphotosoftheyear

[Mark Mondier @DamagedSky]

@dodgrizz46 @VortexChasing @weatherdan @5NEWSGarrett @spann I bet!

[Mark Mondier @DamagedSky]

@dodgrizz46 @VortexChasing @weatherdan @5NEWSGarrett @spann Awesome shot! Looks like a greeting card.
