Slowed footage of a a baseball, or perhaps softball-sized, hailstone hitting the back of HailCam during our deployment with LIFT near Stratton, NE on June 20. Original footage courtesy of Thea Sandmael.

Lots of lightning and heavy (90 mph+) winds in Nebraska/Kansas on June 20.

Crazy hail deployment with LIFT and HailCam near Stratton, NE on June 20 where we deployed in the core of a supercell and got baseball and softball-sized hail for nearly 20-30 minutes!

What's it like to put yourself in the path of a tornado 🌪️?
Jen Walton and Anastasia Tomanek are part of both @girlswhochase.com and the @dowfacility.bsky.social team, pursuing up-close scientific measurements of severe storms.

The best still shot I was able to recover from my Saint Libory, NE tornado videos.

Attempted to take some still shots from my full video of the Saint Libory, NE tornado. As we and the tornado were moving fast, it was hard to get any stills that didnt blur. But the evolution is still incredible.

Impossible to top yesterday, but got a few photos of some pretty circulations and a little tornado today in Kansas.

A few shots from an impromptu chase in the our “backyard” here in Oklahoma. Largest hail we measured was 2.5 inches.

Analyzing large debris with LDR for 1st time ever in a tornado (!) & learning how vortex mergers affect tornado intensity from data I collected during the active 2024 tornado season then going out again for more 2026 tornado & hail data!
As severe weather season kicks off, the Doppler On Wheels team @dowfacility.bsky.social and Girls Who Chase @girlswhochase.com are getting up close with the most intense tornadoes & hailstorms they can find. Their goal? To help uncover why and how some storms become monsters.

🚨CALLING ALL CHASERS🚨
If you’re out chasing, you’re in a unique position to capture some of the most valuable hail observations available. We invite you to contribute your hail reports to the ICECHIP database and help improve our understanding of severe hail events.

MiniCOW packs MegaPOWER! Observes birth and ingestion of satellite tornado
and Fujiwara effect deflecting tornado. Tornado transitions 2x between clear eye and debris ball. Prelim data from most powerful mobile radar, 1 MegaWatt C-band storm-penetrating miniCOW in Braman, OK 🌪️

Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .
