And thus begins the great “Angel Offloading Completed or ‘Indefinitely Paused Until Computer Space Frees Up’ Projects” archival project of 2K26. First 5TB HDD purchased, another 15TB to go… for the first project 🫠

Well I told everyone in person that I could, I figure now that it is time I make the announcement official since I put it in writing: I have put in my two weeks notice at work, September 7 will be my final day after eight years here. I am transitioning into a pharmacy tech role elsewhere now!

Local weather weenie goes on local chase, sees and films tower/upward lightning for the first time in his life. I wish I could’ve set up my DSLR, but I only have one window clamp (the same one Mike Hollingshead used, fun fact) and there was a steady rain, so I had to commit to video.

Question for the folks who have been chasing long before the days of that fancy Gripper windshield mount: what was your dash mounted camcorder solution then? Asking mostly because strict New England windshield obstruction laws may necessitate my having to get a little creative, and also for fun.

A question for the academics and especially anyone who was involved with VORTEX-2. I might be misremembering, but was there a paper mentioning the use of DSLR timelapse photography during 2010 operations and featuring the June 10 2010 Last Chance supercell as one of the cases?

The parental unit wants some metal prints of some of the photos I’ve taken this year (it’s like the grown up version of having your drawing on the fridge), so I got some cheap 4x6 prints done to see what we want committed to metal. These are the ones we’ve settled on. :)

I dusted off my old Canon T1i since I wanna explore DSLR timelapses and it and the Sigma 17-50 f/2.8 attached is perfectly acceptable for my needs. Last night's sunset was a good test to see if it still works after six years of no use.

This is probably tied for top chase of all time with 4/26/2024. And supremely local in areas I grew up in. Really hoping impacts were minimal.

Around this time 15 years ago, after watching an unusually photogenic and strong New England tornado cross the Connecticut River at West Springfield on live television, I photographed the 30 miles distant supercell through the haze. Not the first supercell I’ve seen, but is first I ever photographed

OTD 16 years ago, May 25, 2010, Juston Drake and I witnessed an LP supercell and tornado at dusk over wheat farms near Stonington, Colorado. This storm was nearly stationary for several hours over SW Kansas, then moved NW over Colorado to produce this tornado. #kswx #cowx

Really nice chase in Texas today. Followed a slow moving LP supercell across the Llano Estacado for two hours and saw three landspouts, two of which occurred when we were navigating around hail. Beat my expectations!
