At long last, my timelapse film Flow is live on YouTube! Almost a year in the making, mother nature really put on a show with some truly majestic scenes that I was lucky enough to capture. I hope you all enjoy it!

#kswx I cannot type lol

Another day, another legendary chase in Kansas! Snagged one (maybe 2?) brief tornadoes, an epic sunset and some crazy lightning! Living in the plains during summer is peak 🔥🔥 #kwsx

@StrmchsrHunterF Wasn’t quite as close as this intrepid fellow but neither God nor man was seeing a darn thing of whatever gnarliness was going on in there

[Caleb O'Gara @ogarrah5]

Pretty colors on the developing cells just west of Madison, KS! Updrafts are still fighting it out so we’ll see if one can take over #kswx

[Caleb O'Gara @ogarrah5]

#okwx typo lol

[Caleb O'Gara @ogarrah5]

We are pileus-maxxing here west of Crescent, OK. Can’t wait for sunset!! #okwc

[Caleb O'Gara @ogarrah5]

It ain’t much, but it’s honest work with this pretty rainbow and hail shaft on a dying left split near Marshall, OK and a new storm firing to the south. Cells are struggling to maintain intensity but sure look pretty! #okwx

Some photos and video from a legendary day chasing in the Midwest on Friday. It was an honor to help @konstestr bag his first two tornadoes along with the rest of our group including @mcdougal_wx and my lovely fiancé Claire! (video courtesy of her ❤️) #iawx #ilwx #wiwx

I am delighted to present my submissions for the 2026 Storm Photos of the Year! Only had time to edit my shots from Gary, but I think they will suffice lol. Very excited to see the best of the photos from last season! @thestormys

[Caleb O'Gara @ogarrah5]

Looks like a small thunderstorm is making its way towards Jack Trice with 9 minutes left in the 4th! Lots of little boundaries at play here… but looking like it should stay south until the game is over at least. #iawx @CycloneFB

Many thanks to @NWSBismarck for letting me job shadow with them this week! I was allowed to assist in plotting tornado data in the DAT, launch a balloon and visit the ND Watch Center. They answered all my many questions fabulously and were wonderful to work with!

[Caleb O'Gara @ogarrah5]

This disgruntled bovine did NOT like me setting up my tripod to timelapse the sunset right in front of its fence LOL. I had to move my gear cuz it ran at me and now it has the audacity to give me a diabolical side eye. I even resisted the urge to say “we got cows”… 😭😭

2025 has been an interesting, challenging, and solid year for me so far, here is a collage of my favorite images that I've captured halfway through the year. #tornado #2025storm #photography

[Caleb O'Gara @ogarrah5]

Oh my goodness gracious. Some rough edits I just whipped up from yesterday... truly a dream day. Can't wait to put more time into these photos and bring the timelapses I filmed together! #sdwx #mnwx #tornado

[Caleb O'Gara @ogarrah5]

What a crazy day. Capturing the lifecycle of a photogenic tornado via timelapse has been a dream of mine for over 5 years, and boy oh boy did that dream come true today. Many hours of editing are ahead, but for now, some phone grabs will have to do! #sdwx #mnwx #tornado

[Caleb O'Gara @ogarrah5]

Last night was bonkers. Multiple tornadic supercells tracked through the Bismarck area bringing a little bit of everything: structure, rainbows, and several after dark tornadoes. Back at it again today in Minnesota! #ndwx

[Caleb O'Gara @ogarrah5]

Another day, another beautiful storm in the high plains, this time just north of Belle Fourche, SD! #sdwx

[Caleb O'Gara @ogarrah5]

The cameras are rolling and Mother Nature is cooking here just west of Casper, WY with this rapidly intensifying supercell!! #wywx

[Caleb O'Gara @ogarrah5]

After over 15 years of going to Mariners games, it finally happened… snagged this sucker right out of the air on the bounce from the second level!! #TridentsUp

[Caleb O'Gara @ogarrah5]

Pillars now, here she comes!!
