Here are some photos and videos from some of my favorite weather events in 2024!

September 24, Norman, OK: Supercell passing right over campus while producing baseball-size hail east of town

May 2, Norman, OK: Timelapse of distant thunderstorms viewed from the South Oval

May 6, Marshall, OK: Large, tornadic supercell in central Oklahoma during a High Risk

June 23, State College, PA: Leading edge of strong thunderstorms approaching the Penn State golf courses

October 30, Okarche, OK: Relatively weak but pretty supercell thunderstorm

April 30, Norman, OK: View from the NWC observation deck of a supercell over southwest Oklahoma during a localized tornado outbreak

July 20, Church Hill, PA: View of a funnel cloud associated with a small supercell I saw while returning to State College from eastern PA

September 22, Norman, OK: Huge shelf cloud ahead of a line of storms

November 3, Norman, OK: Destructive winds during a tornado warning. These winds produced widespread damage across Norman, and were associated with a local outbreak of strong tornadoes

Here is a selection of some of the most interesting tornadoes and storms I saw this past year. 2023 was a very active year for tornadoes in central Oklahoma. Cleveland County, where Norman is located, saw 13 tornadoes. I also got to participate in another field project this spring during a highly localized active stretch of supercells.

February 26 — Norman, Oklahoma: I took this video at the Traditions East Apartments storm shelter as a destructive tornado passed less than a mile to our south. This tornado was rated high-end EF-2 with 135 mph winds, and was on the ground for 27 miles.

April 19 — Cole, Oklahoma (1 video, 1 photo):
Less than two months after the Norman tornado, central Oklahoma experienced a significant outbreak of 18 tornadoes. The strongest tornado occurred less than 10 miles from OU, and was rated EF-3 with 150 mph winds. The video shows the tornado touching down and becoming established. The parent supercell is shown in the photo.

May 11 — Cole, Oklahoma (2 videos): Just three weeks after the EF-3, an EF-1 tornado touched down in almost the exact same location during an outbreak of 12 weak tornadoes. The first video shows the tornado at the beginning of its life cycle, and the second video shows the rapid touchdown and strengthening of another vortex.

May 23 — Muleshoe, Texas: The first official day of the 2023 TORUS-LiTE field project featured high-based supercells, but this inflow tail-like feature made for a cool photo.

May 24 — Grady, New Mexico: The third day of TORUS-LiTE operations featured one of the largest supercells I’ve seen, which produced this brief tornado. We measured a 93 mph wind gust 10 minutes later.

May 27 — Plains, Texas: On the fifth day of busy late May TORUS-LiTE operations, this supercell produced two weak tornadoes, hail, and strong winds.

July 12 — Glendale Heights, Illinois: An outbreak of 13 weak tornadoes occurred in northeastern Illinois. Shortly after an EF-0 lofted debris into the air, Bobby took this video of the chaotic mesocyclone and a few funnel clouds.

July 28 — Greendale, Wisconsin: This video shows the lightning-illuminated backside of a “left-moving” supercell moving out over Lake Michigan. by @andrewtornado11

Here are some of my favorite weather photos and videos from 2022. Between storms rolling through campus, being on a research project, and being back home in Wisconsin, I saw some pretty cool stuff, including 5 tornadoes and 7 hailstorms.

Video 1: May 23, Enochs, TX. We released several windsonds into this tornado as part of a field research project (TORUS). The vertical component of winds in the low-level mesocyclone exceeded 100 mph.

Video 2: May 2, Purcell, OK. This supercell displayed some of the coolest “structure” I’ve ever seen, and was the third we saw that day.

Video 3: May 24, Andrews, TX. Roughly a minute after a small tornado passed us, we released a windsond and measured nearly 60-mph gusts.

Photo 4: April 23, Norman, OK. This supercell (second of the day in central OK) was illuminated many different colors by the setting sun.

Video 5: May 17, Salina, KS. This QLCS produced 50-60 mph winds for nearly half an hour.

Video 6: July 23, Hartford, WI. This tornado-warned supercell produced some of the most frequent lightning I’ve ever seen, just a few hours after a severe storm brought 45-50 mph winds.

Photo 7: July 11, South Milwaukee, WI. A weak but pretty storm moving south over Lake Michigan near sunset.

Video 8: October 15, Norman, OK. This thunderstorm produced winds over 50 mph after an OU football game.

Video 9: May 24, Texas/New Mexico border. This supercell produced hailstones the size of baseballs.

Video 10: May 23, Enochs, TX. This is a video of a tornado forming directly to our south. At this point, two tornadoes were occurring simultaneously. The first tornado (from the first video) can be seen when I turn the camera to the right, approaching one mile in width. taken in Central United States by @andrewtornado11

I saw some pretty crazy weather in 2021, even if the coolest events were few and far between. So, here are my top seven weather events of 2021. I spent lots of time in both Wisconsin and Oklahoma (and in transit), so I chose seven severe weather events from three different states.

1. (Photos 1-3) On August 9, as my family and I were en route to Oklahoma (in the midst of an Illinois tornado outbreak), a supercell thunderstorm produced a tornado only a mile away. I recording the spinning storm and tornado (the first I had ever seen) which lasted several minutes. Just an hour and a half later, a beautiful, tilted low-precipitation supercell appeared (Photo 3). These were incredibly lucky sights
2. (Photo 4) On October 10, two months after arriving in Oklahoma, a significant hailstorm with golf ball to baseball size hail (the largest I have ever seen) smashed windows and dented thousands of cars
3. (Photos 5-6) Winter 2021 in Greendale featured a very deep snowpack of nearly two feet, the deepest in 20 years, peaking in late February
4. (Photos 7-8) January 4: an incredible “rime icing” event took place in Greendale as fog froze into crystalline patterns on trees
5. (Photo 9) October 27: a severe warned line of storms raced through Oklahoma with gusty winds and mesovortex (swirl) passed overhead, producing a tornado 5 miles northeast and helping Oklahoma have its “tornadoiest” October in recent history
6. (Photo 10) August 16: a supercell with prolific downbursts slide to the south out my dorm window
7. (Not pictures) On July 29 Greendale had its first tornado warning in almost 8 years and several weak tornadoes touched down in Waukesha County as @ningoyette and I raced the storms back from Chicago by @andrewtornado11
