Towers were going up to the NE of my position during yesterday mornings impromptu #stormchase. Sadly part of my view was obstructed by low-level clouds. But still - it made for a nice photo opportunity.

While on my southeastern trek to chase, I had the opportunity to capture the actual cold front visibly separate from the cold sector. I absolutely had to stop to capture a panoramic alongside a couple other pictures.

Took a bit of a cinematic approach to a couple pictures from this evenings blizzard coverage.

Towards the end of the afternoon, the fire made its way into town. The black specs going across the video are ash from the fire blowing in. This was when I started leaving my truck running and facing the escape route.

Took a stroll in downtown Des Moines, and came across this unique display from the Nightingale Cocktail Lounge. The logo on the sidewalk was a projection that rotated - I had to time the picture just right.

They make finding tornadoes so easy these days. When I was a young chaser you had no idea which gate the tornado would be at.
One of the ‘goofball’ photos from the photo session earlier.

Got a faint aurora glow to the left of the picture (north direction), but the Little Dipper and a meteor were caught in the shot facing east.
