Just north of Morton, Texas earlier. I’m speechless. Crazy chase with @Thunder12uss #txwx @NWSLubbock
Able to get a few shots off the iPhone of the tornado warned supercell near Elmwood/Brimfield, Illinois late last night. Around 10:51 PM, I had a funnel halfway to the ground but was unable to confirm ground circulation. After watching the video and included timelapse, I wouldn’t be shocked if it did touch down. @NWSLincolnIL #ilwx
Persistent funnel cloud a couple miles to my southwest in Galesburg. Ongoing for several minutes as of 2:35 PM. @NWSLincolnIL #ilwx

Quick edit showing some of the intense moments today while documenting 8 tornadoes in northern Illinois into Indiana. Massive shoutout to @skydrama for nailing the forecast in the warm sector. Hands down the craziest tornado outbreak I've ever documented.
Full video will be released in the near future on the @thestormreel YouTube page.

Today will go down as the craziest weather day I have ever covered in my home state. Gambled east in the open warm sector / modifying outflow regime ahead of the PFT/cold front and it paid off in the form of numerous large, damaging, but photogenic tornadoes in central Illinois.
Incredible footage from @skydrama. Wow
Video highlights of today's tornadoes in northern Missouri:

Documented 3 #tornadoes earlier today including this cone east of Kirksville, MO with @EthanSchislerWX. Had another brief spin up minutes before this but quickly dissipated. #mowx @NWSKansasCity

Quick video clip of the wild Lucerne, Mo Tornado. I still can’t believe I saw this with my own eyes.

Brilliant photogenic tornado about 15 miles north of Yuma Colorado (correction to previous posts), about 6pm this evening. Footage captured by chase partner Kaitlin Groom! No damage sighted where it crossed road ahead of us #COWX
Two years ago today was a fun chase with @Thunder12uss near Birch Tree, Missouri. We were able to intercept this damaging #tornado as it crossed the road right in front us. #mowx
