BREAKING: Hurricane Beryl has rapidly intensified to a Category 4 Hurricane.
There has never been a category four hurricane in the Atlantic basin in recorded history in June.
Sea surface temperatures are significantly above normal as well. You can pretend that the climate is not changing but if you are then you are only pretending that we don’t have a problem.
The significant tornado parameter or STP (which factors the best of the tornado atmospherics) when its 1 is enough for a tornado, but when its more than double the entire scale that is ridiculous!! If any day screams High Risk or level 5 risk its over OK today. These are some of the highest values I have ever seen.

Story time yall hear me out…
After the Mayfield tornado I had a complete hard drive failure on my primary editing laptop and thought I had lost about a dozen videos of my best videos and probably 50 stills from that night. As pissed off as I was at the time, I just chocked it up as a learning experience and had forgotten about it since last year.
Well over the last couple days I decided to sleuth through both of my Dropbox accounts, my OneDrive account, and my 12TB NAS just to see.
And y’all…. I found them! I had backed them up in a folder full of GIS shape files and other crap and didn’t realize I had also compressed them into a .zip archive, thus I wasn’t able to ever find any of the file types I was looking for.
Anyways. Today is a solid W.
So yeah.. Here’s a never before seen shot of the first EF-4 taken the night of 12-10-2021.
This is a 3 shot stack with the first EF-4 (Monette) just after it had crossed a couple hundred yards in front of us on I-55 outside of Hayti, Missouri.
I had sent the ISO to the moon on the 5D bc it was dark and with the intense lightning barrage ongoing, it ended up being lit up like the 4th of July.
Hurricane #Lee has explosively intensified into a Category 5 storm and is expected to peak as a monster 180 mph Cat 5.
One of the fastest intensifying Atlantic hurricanes ever observed.

On our last day in Mississippi, we met up with the Williams family. Their house was narrowly missed by the Rolling Fork EF4 but heavily damaged. They were watching the stream when the tornado hit.
Their story is incredible, and it highlights the value of the collaboration between the @NWS, storm chasers, and communicators like myself during situations like this.
This is a very small snippet of a longer video we will be releasing next week showcasing the Y'all Squad's $100k+ relief mission & other stories like this.
