Yesterday I submitted the first completed version of my thesis on streamwise vorticity currents and their effect on LLMs and tornadoes. Today I felt like I was rewarded for those efforts.

@DillonvWx That day was nuts! I didn't even realize until texting you afterwards your storm was also going bonkers! Great chase for everyone out there that day

A year ago today I had one of my best chases of all time. Finally got around to putting a video together. 15 minutes of almost constant tornado footage from a wild June day in northwest Minnesota.

One of the said attempts at touching down at 10x speed. Pine Island, MN #mnwx

A couple of images from a quick local chase yesterday. This storm was mostly outflow dominant but had a few attempts at touching down and was tornado-warned for a while. Taken near Pine Island, MN #mnwx

Video from the Greenfield, IA tornado back on May 21st is on YouTube, easily one of the strongest tornadoes I've ever seen.

A few clips of the Carbon and Greenfield, IA tornadoes I captured yesterday, including when they were both on the ground at the same time. Rare to have two tornadoes that strong in such close proximity. #tornado #iawx

[Ben Remington @RemingtonBen]

Another image from yesterday's chase, twins! Left is the Greenfield, IA #tornado early in its life, and on the right is the end of the Carbon, IA tornado. Both appeared to be quite strong at this point. #iawx

[Ben Remington @RemingtonBen]

Image from my video of the Greenfield, Iowa #tornado as it churned through a field of windmills. Was very strong at this point. Around 10 minutes before it tore through the town. #iawx

Tree downed on top of powerlines and smoldering. 1 mile south of Hamilton, IA #iawx @NWSDesMoines

Images of the four #wedge tornadoes I documented yesterday: Blair (Nebraska), Magnolia, Minden, and Harlan (Iowa). Amazingly and thankfully, no deaths have been reported with these monsters. #newx #iawx #tornado
