After shooting the lightning barrage earlier from Reabold Hill, I spotted some new lightning to the west so made a move down to City Beach. This was the only bolt I got, but nice and chunky one! Shot on 27 November ⚡

Perth City being dwarfed by some branchy bolts late Sunday night ⚡

After being knocked about by a heatwave with temps in the high 30s for the last week the atmosphere finally cracked with a series of small but punchy storms.

Midnight mothership supercell over New Mexico (25 May).

As a first time chaser in the US from little ol' Australia, these storms are melting my brain 🤯

Standing about considering the long drive home, blissfully unaware that the sky was about to explode overhead 💥 ⚡

Taken way back in 2018 somewhere north of Perth and re-edited recently with LRs newish denoise function.

Angry little storm drifting past with a tornado warning just outside of Plainview, Texas earlier this year ⛈️

Bit of a wild arvo photographing close(ish) lightning 3000m asl in the high deserts of San Pedro, Chile earlier this year.

Really enjoyed having an elevated (albeit slightly more hazardous) perspective on these shots.

Antarctica earlier this year, still hard to believe I actually got to explore this place for 2 weeks 🐧

Some nice structure on this storm west of Snyder, Tx yesterday afternoon.

Gently trying to convince a cuddly critter to get off the road near Logan, NM.

Didn't work 😅

@StoryfulNews Thanks for asking. I’m here on vacation chasing the weather, I and the greater storm chase community would prefer you pay the local professionals that capture content and support their careers. In this case my content is unavailable for free use & may not be used in any form.

A little gustnado cruising through Hale County as I bumped into a fellow Aussie on the side of a dirt track! @DanielShawAU 🦘

Then moments later spotted @ReedTimmerAccu in the wild!

@DanielShawAU @NWSLubbock @NWSAmarillo Nice to briefly chat mate! 😆

A back of camera grab from the tornado-warned storm today, 20 miles west of Perryton, Tx.

No idea if this actually touched down as I was dodging the hail core, but gnarly scenes no less 😬

About 20 miles west of Perryton, Tx just before sunset today. Plenty of rotation out there this arvo!
