As a football official, I’m sorry for the complete malpractice of this officiating crew. I’m sorry for the blatant disrespect and integrity of the game this crew has shown. Not all officials are this bad. There are a lot of good ones out there. A few bad apples hurt us all.

GoPro grab of the large #tornado that passed through Wynne, Arkansas earlier today. This tornado was unfortunately a killer as there have been fatalities confirmed from the city. #arwx @NWSMemphis @VortexChasing

Incredible moment in front of an amazing supercell. Hilariously enough, we’ve ran into @PecosHank so many times this spring in random places in the middle of nowhere. Today, me and @WxZachary encountered him again, in the middle of nowhere. This time we had a wild supercell

The fall of RadarOmega really needs to be studied. Was extremely promising at first and then just went POOF.

Today’s chase is for a sweet girl by the name of Madison. 🧡. She was diagnosed with Leukemia on October 19th. She’s preparing for her final round of Chemo. Help me show some love and support for Madison today. 🧡

Got a chance to sit down and go through some more drone images from Rolling Fork. Still can’t believe it’s real. My heart continues to break for this city. This is what a violent EF-4 tornado with 190mph winds can do. @WxZachary and I are still in awe of this storm and will

After some discussion and looking through our documentation, @WxZachary, @KATVJames, and I have come to the conclusion that we observed 6 separate tornadoes on Wednesday. Insane. These are the days I dreamed of as a high school kid aspiring to be a storm chaser. Couldn’t think

Many of the accounts screaming about Saturday being a duplicate of 4.27.11 aren't even old enough to remember that day.

Just a quick reminder of a basic concept for storm spotting. ‼️. A.C.E.S. Awareness.Communication.Escape Routes.Safe Zones. This stays in my mind both consciously and unconsciously, especially Awareness and Escape Routes while chasing. It was put into practice again on Friday.

Me and @WxZachary are safe. Rolling Forks, Mississippi has been hit HARD. The sights, sounds, smells from this event is something I’ll never forget. Pray for these people, they need all the help they can get. This was a STRONG tornado.

Monster lurking in the dark. One of our stills from @WxZachary’s video of the Rolling Fork tornado. This thing was so violent. I made a decision about this time to drop south. Was expecting a hard right turn. Thanks to @RicksStormArt for digitally enhancing the image.

There were nearly 30 mobile homes on the Northeast side of Rolling Fork. Only one of them was still standing (with major damage to it.) . I keep coming back to this view of that area and my heart breaks every time. Continue to pray for them. Continue to

There’s no telling how many sharp objects these boots saved from going through my foot Friday night. Gave me traction and ankle stabilization. A good pair of work boots, in my opinion, is a crucial piece of gear in a chaser’s arsenal.

If you are chasing tomorrow, I’d highly suggest downloading some offline maps in your preferred map app. Cell service can be ROUGH in parts of W AR. Especially in the Ouachitas and Bostons.

I don’t know what to think this morning. That storm tore right through home and the heart of Rogers. Had damage at my house from the intense RFD. From what I’ve seen, it’s going to be several days of clean up. The damage is fairly widespread in Benton Co.

Going to do some repairs on my rainguards today with @GetFlexSeal tape! . If it can hold Dom 4 together for @ReedTimmerAccu, surely it can put these rain guards back in one piece.

As I sit back and reflect on my first 28 years of life on earth, there are few things I wish I could tell a younger me. Here are a few of those. - God’s got you. Even when it doesn’t seem like it, he’s providing and working all things out for your good. Just trust. - The things.
