I'm expecting lightning west of the mississippi sometime during the month of May, I'm fairly confident in this forecast!

Sam Soud @ssoudwx.bsky.social · 12/04/2025

I'd call that a mildly interesting pattern...I think we might be a liiiitle bit busy

Chronos 1.4 will be my next camera investment...currently rocking an a7r3 and an ax700 but i want to do far better for slow motion in the future. Any tips for 1.4 usage i should know about?

What DSLR and high speed camera are you using? These shots are amazing

Need storm 5/18/23 Can't wait to be in front of something like this again. Especially when it's moving at 10 mph...lol

My lockscreen is structure and my background is lightning, does that count?

Going through severe storm derangement syndrome right now...can't wait for plains season. Taken with my pixel East of Pampa, TX on a 0 tor 5/17/23...wishing i had my A7RIII at that time. Manifesting views like this for 2025.

Sam Soud @ssoudwx.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

When I read this bill I already took this conclusion away from it, however I'm still glad they're spelling it out more explicitly. Still not exactly happy this gives idiots like Val/Amy an excuse to run others off the road even more often, but meh, it could be way worse.

Spacex literally caught the largest booster ever made on the launch tower, yet this app is calling spacex a failure because their extremely ambitions experimental vehicle is experiencing experimental failures. Critical thinking in spaceflight doesn't exist when spacex is involved, apparently...

Seeing the clips now, certainly FTS. Thinking a little more, it's unlikely sensors in raptors wouldn't stop a fuel-depletion stoichiometric scenario within the turbopumps, but fuel depletion could very well be the reason we saw cascading engine shutdown prior to FTS.

020

Sam Soud @ssoudwx.bsky.social · 16/01/2025

My guess is a Fuel Leak. Look how fast the CH4 depletes at the tail end of this clip. Upon freezing there's almost no CH4 left. Thinking fuel depletion leading to engines getting closer to stoichiometric, most likely leading to the turbopumps melting (if they weren't just getting shut down)

#tornadotuesday Morton was fun...I loved the fact I ended up with dust in my underwear after getting blasted by the RFD surge during its development...

If only i had the camera gear i have now and not nothing more than my samsung galaxy s20 FE....sigh

It's more expectation over value. There's a huge difference between a school like OU and a school like OSU. At OSU, you generally have top 5 personnel in the country, or at minimum, access to such. The expectation is more in line with the level of Personnel and NIL money, which is reasonable to me.

That good ole "funnel stupid amounts of money into contractors while they have zero incentive to do things on time or on budget" and then "why are we behind schedule and over budget????"

just typical high plains deviant supercell sounding, nothing to see here.

I will not accept dissent to the opinion of "nuclear cool pls develop" as it's obviously invalid.

I detest how accurate this is. Granted i would love to see nuclear powered engines just for the cool factor.

Sam Soud @ssoudwx.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

I might be the crazy one for saying the 22Z sounding is better. Those surface thermodynamics are insane and will stretch vorticity extremely efficiently. That plus the dry slot aloft and insane venting...what a great setup.

000

Sam Soud @ssoudwx.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

Yes this was for sure post sunset, but my point was moreso that iirc it was rain-cooled as well. This setup was actually a little unusual amongst typical coldcore setups, as lower-mid 60s SFC temps and 200+ SRH are unusual amongst traditional coldcore.

010

Sam Soud @ssoudwx.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

Interesting to note that this is most likely rain cooled. IIRC, SFC temps in the WS were in the low 60s - which meant 8C LLLRs and 150+ 3cape. With good ambient 0-1 shear (unusual for coldcore), great venting, and strong DPVA, it's no wonder these storms weren't even boundary dependent to spam tors.

THANK YOU finally somebody who agrees with me. I'll take good structure over a wispy nebulous birdfart any day of the week and it's not even close.

Photogenic high-based high plains tors are the best thing ever. strongest DI is usually a fencepost and they're so pretty.

So much same even when chasing. My pfp is Morton but I had nothing but my phone. Imagining me with my a7r3 in front of that instead is painful...

Sam Soud @ssoudwx.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

At least you got a shot of it! I only started actually photographing things a couple years ago and there are countless moments i remember that i have zero photographic evidence of lol.

Sam Soud @ssoudwx.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

Hey I was standing next to you for this shot

000

Sam Soud @ssoudwx.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

Awesome shot! Love the perspective of the deck actually, I think it adds to the shot. Did you get any photos of just the landscape with the fog?

110

Sam Soud @ssoudwx.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

I think if I posted my timelapse of the first cycle it'd make sense. We were very close to the first cycle, dropped a mile south and were following it from behind at this time before stopping, still behind the new cycle, looking north at whatever this was. Weird situation...

010

Sam Soud @ssoudwx.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

But this is what confused me. The original cycle was a good few miles closer to us than what I got that picture of. We were very close to the original cycle to it's south and the new cycle was occurring well to our northeast at the time of the picture. Are you sure we were looking at the same thing?

100

Sam Soud @ssoudwx.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

Confused as to your position here. Were you north of the main cell? This looks like what we were seeing, but it was miles from the primary base that cycled right in front of us.

Sam Soud @ssoudwx.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

I hate the tits more than any other franchise, i'll be at the home game for sure. Any opportunity to beat them is a worthy one as far as i'm concerned.

Jags fan here, thank you for getting Doug fired. Hopefully they get smart and can Baalke as well.

Sam Soud @ssoudwx.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

6 months later, I'm still not sure what this was. 5/20/24 in NE CO. This was after the first major cycle of the storm, however the original base was much closer to us, which leads me to being very skeptical of whether or not this was a tor or an SLC. Character limit, see alt image text.

The old base is only about a mile to the north. The new base is forming to the northeast of our position and we can see it; this was just before the wet RFD surge that transitioned this storm into an HP mess. Oddly enough, it definitely looks like a secondary RFD cut type of structure to the left of the lowering. It certainly looks convincing enough to believe it was some sort of tornadic structure. There was certainly rising motion with it in real time, but it was too far and too low contrast to ascertain whether or not it was rotating. The "pillars" of darker areas on either side of the lowering *could* be dust, but could just as easily be rain. At the time, we pretty much concluded it wasn't a tor, but after contrast enhancing the photos I took I'm no longer convinced one way or another.

I was hoping for an answer more along the lines of the smell of allsups burritos and energy drinks. The serious answer works too I guess 🤣

Sam Soud @ssoudwx.bsky.social · 30/10/2024

If you could compare the smell of tornado to any other smell, what would you compare it to?
