Here’s a few of my fave shots I took this year! 2020 was rough, but I’m SO thankful I got to see so many parts of the country I had never seen & snagged some amazing moments I will never forget. Got to chase about 35 days & 9 states!
These 4 were all in #kswx.

@stormchase4life That’s the road I took too. I guess what I meant was that I went east out of Wheeler trying to beat the hail that was headed for the highway so I could get on that SE road. I would’ve loved to have been able to stop and get some pics in a good spot. Had to settle for a phone pic

@Zarhle1 And then for one of those towns to be named Hale Center lol.

Pure #tornado insanity on radar earlier. 132mph winds at one time. Looks like a hurricane in west Texas. 😳

5 & 1/2 to 6” diameter hailstone 2 miles NW of Afton, TX on HWY 70!!! @NWSLubbock

Absolutely incredible intercept as the tornado crossed into Arnett! #okwx

[Nick Krasznavolgyi @NickKrasz_Wx]

WOW, ARNETT, OKLAHOMA VIA RAXPOL MOBILE RADAR.

[OTUS Project @project_otus]

The eye of the Arnett, OK tornado, captured by one of our UAVs as it collected scientific data on the environment within.

This tornado warned storm was sure trying at 8:37pm south of Altus until the storm below it regrouped and caught up to it. 🙄 #okwx

@wxkylegillett 🙏🏻
Had this come after a few chases under my belt this year to break off the rust first, I would’ve paid closer attention to a few things, but I was just so amped up that it was a blur in real time lol.

@KBow_Photo Love me some zero meter video, but when it comes to a photo, give me the whole shibang!

#TORNADO NW of Miami, TX at 9:08pm.

I absolutelutely cannot wait to edit these. Wish that person would’ve turned off their brights, but I kind of like it at the same time.

@FloridaPA27 Good call. I feel this gives the photo JUST what it was lacking.

@MisheylaIwasiuk Well, you’re not wrong. Had 2 people photo bombing the shot 😂

[Derrick Fast @dfastestWx]

@Joshwx @TxStormChasers From that angle, these might be your headlights lol.

[Derrick Fast @dfastestWx]

@Obsidianwing Thank you! I guess sometimes it pays to be lucky rather than good lol. What a chase to break off the rust though. I was late to the party and was only there for like 20 mins when this happened.

@wonder_eben Thank you!
