#IChaseForArwen
My sister Arwen passed away suddenly yesterday. She was only 10 years old. But she was incredibly smart. She had motivation, drive, and a lot of good friends. She adored Pokémon and Axolotls. She was a very fun person to be around.
I love you Arwen. You will be missed.

A year ago today I chased a high-risk in Iowa on March 31 into a blizzard on April 1st. We left to chase in Iowa at 6am in the morning in freezing rain. We crossed through the foggy warm front. Saw the Keota handoff wedges. Then Drove through a blizzard.

Every night I keep her in my thoughts, remembering her glowing smile and joyful demeanor. Every night I'm going to cry because I miss her. I'm glad I was there for her final moments. I love you, Arwen. 💜

was really good this year. I got to hang out and talk with professionals I normally wouldn't. My favorite talk by far was Jana Houser's tornadogenesis. I also presented my research from NEPARs REU.

One of my favorite chasing experiences in a 24 hour period. We left to chase in Iowa at 6am in the morning in freezing rain. We crossed through the foggy warm front. Saw the Keota handoff wedges. Then Drove through a blizzard.

April 12th! I saw my first tornado 2 years ago near Palmer, Iowa on 2022. I also bearly cracked my windshield with ping-pong sized hail.

Today was quite the journey. We talked ourselves out of the safe bet and into the dryline and warm front. We ended up not being on any tornado-warned storms. But we did get some excellent structure from the cell moving north into Minnesota.

Today I got elected to be the Public Outreach Coordinator for the St. Cloud State University AMS Club Board.
We've got a lot planned for next year to help make our club more active and engaging.
Tornado probe survived the cold temperatures last night. It took 8694 readings over the 24 hour period. Since there is no severe weather on Minnesota, I've resorted to taking readings of the day cycle.
My top 4 preliminary favorite shots from tonight's Northern Lights show from 9:30pm to Midnight Central Time. Taken near Gilman, MN

Now that the last two days of tornadoes are over. Here are a few of my shots from Nebraska and Iowa on 4/26/24.
The tornado that formed behind us near Pacific Junction, IA was the parent cell that formed the Harlan, IA tornado, both pictured.

The eclipse was amazing! I got to go out with my friends and forecast and navigate for ideal positioning. The Initial target was Dallas, Texas. But we ended up in Arkansas.

Friends are my favorite people to chase with. Like I don't know who else I would want to enjoy storm chasing with. You absolutely crushed today.

Amber is generally allowed. Red is only allowed on the back, if at all. I'm not certain about white/clear. He doesn't have blue on his car. Blue is reserved for emergency vehicles.
