My heart is with everyone in Spokane and across Washington State right now.

Watching the smoke fill the sky, the evacuations, and the fear as the Old Trails Fire and other blazes race through neighborhoods is heartbreaking. Homes, memories, pets, livelihoods, everything people have worked so hard for is under threat.

Praying for everyone's safety and for all the emergency responders working tirelessly on the front lines. 🙏🏻🇺🇸

We witnessed the raw power of nature yesterday just south of Seward Alaska! It was incredible to watch this massive glacier calving, sending a huge wave through the water. Absolutely breathtaking to see firsthand.

Glacial calving is a natural process where large chunks of ice break off from the edge of a glacier. This typically happens at the “terminus” or snout, where the glacier meets the sea, a lake, or even dry land. When these massive pieces of ice fall into the water, they become icebergs, or in smaller pieces, “growlers” or “bergy bits.”

The process is primarily driven by gravity and the movement of the glacier itself. As a glacier flows—acting like a slow-moving river of ice—it experiences immense internal stress. When it reaches a point where it is no longer supported by land or where it extends out over the water, the ice becomes unstable. Cracks called crevasses form in the ice, and when these cracks penetrate deep enough, a section of the ice can no longer hold its own weight and snaps off, crashing down with incredible force.

Calving is a dynamic and loud phenomenon that often triggers significant waves. It is a normal part of a glacier’s life cycle, and very common in the warmer summer months.

Caught this on my livestream about 10 minutes ago. Unsure if it was a chaser but we checked on the driver. Happened outside Rushville IL

The #MorrillFire has rapidly expanded to nearly 550,000 acres in just 72 hours, and the Cottonwood fire south of the Morrill fire is at 100k acres.

However, there is some relief in sight... the front moving through the Midwest is expected to bring much-needed moisture, which could aid firefighting efforts and help slow the fires spread. #NEwx

A stunning sun dog (parhelia) spotted in Alaska✨❄️

Sun dogs happen when ice crystals in the atmosphere refract the light of the sun and create two bright spots on each side.
