On a whim I posted a few of my fake 1985 PA tornado images from my documentary videos as prints on my FAA photography page. They are NOT AI-generated but are made from my own photos. Check them out here: fineartamerica.com/profiles/3-c...

๐Ÿšจ ๐Ÿš€ A crude interface I built to expose an archive of College of DuPage GOES imagery since about 15 Apr 2017. The archive is around ~500TB in size over ~2.5 billion JPEG images. Yikes, but here you go.

Anyways happy for feedback. Not worth the effort?

It's the wonder of nature, baby! SKYDRAMA 2025 is coming.

My annual year-end storm chasing flick promises to be one of my longest winded ever, packed with supercells and tornadoes from the Great Plains to the Midwest.

Wednesday night before Thanksgiving release, Nov 26!

Yesterday I got notified of this, which could be the earliest representation of an actual Italian tornado. Created by Norwegian painter Thomas Fearnley, this painting represents a waterspout in the Naples Gulf on July 8th 1833. The event is 100% real and not an harmless one

An erupting volcano. A black spatter cone with a gap in the front has lava fountaining out, hundreds of feet into the air, smacking against the cone, and flowing along a snaking lava river toward the camera. A plume of gas rises into the air with mostly cloudy sky in the background.

Just found this image of the 2021 Fagradalsfjall eruption in Iceland that I've never shared before. Being in the presence of this volcano and feeling the intense heat of the Earth on my skin was genuinely the best experience of my life and its not even close. #photography

Wish I had better shots of it, but it looks like it wasn't a Bridge Creek look-a-like just for show after all.
