Doing pretty good! Glad that we finally have a nicely active storm season for the first time in a few years! How about you?

Chris Ratzlaff @ratzlaff.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

To be fair, I post here about as much as anywhere else... except during storm season, where Twitter still remains the dominant platform for reporting observations

And, of course, the conspiracy theorists are going to have conspiracy theories regarding the long lines

The weather networks are doing a great job with the tools they have available. It's the tools that sometimes have problems

Foothillls Magic! Chasing storms in Alberta, Canada🇨🇦 can often be an effort in taking weather models with a large grain of salt ... like yesterday's Rocky Mountain House tornado on the opposite side of the province from where the models suggested we see one.

There's nothing quite hanging out with good friends while watching a rotating supercell make it's way across Canada's Prairies. Caroline, Alberta, Canada, July 14-2026 #weather #canada_life🇨🇦 #explore #stormchasing #sky

Stumbled across this beautiful beast on my way home from Costco this afternoon! It hung around long enough for me to get home, put the groceries into the house, grab the big camera and drive back to the field it was hunting in.
