KILAUEA JUST UNLEASHED A VOLCANIC TORNADO ๐๐ช๏ธ
Just minutes ago, an extraordinary vortex formed directly above a powerful lava fountain erupting from the summit of Kฤซlauea Volcano in Hawaii.
As molten lava blasted skyward, a rapidly spinning column of ash, gas, and volcanic debris suddenly developed within the eruption, creating a scene that looked almost impossible to believe.
The towering vortex appeared to twist and dance above the vent while glowing lava continued to surge from below, producing one of the most dramatic volcanic moments captured so far during this eruption.
Events like this are rarely witnessed and even more rarely caught on video.

Have you ever seen a volcano create its own tornado?

Just dropped a fresh time-lapse of the early monsoon pushing into the Davis Mountains this evening.
Not the wildest colors, but manโฆ the temperature drops fast, the air turns crisp and refreshing, and that creosote smell hits perfect.
You can almost taste the desert waking up as the rain sweeps across the high country.
Out here in the Big Bend Dark Sky Reserve, these monsoon evenings are everything and we have been treated to an early monsoon this year!
The storms roll through, scrub the sky clean, and leave behind that electric stillness โ perfect conditions for the Milky Way to absolutely dominate once the clouds part.
Nothing beats that post-rain desert quiet.
Who else is craving this kind of reset tonight?
Drop a if you can smell the pines and cedars through the screen, or tag a friend who needs some West Texas magic.
More timelapses + clear-night forecasts coming soon.
The dark skies after these rains are going to be special.
