The May 23, 2022 Morton, Texas tornadic beast supercell rolled on for hours. After it dropped a half dozen tornadoes, the dust settled a bit. West of Lubbock at sunset it sure was pretty!

Fun little time lapse a few days ago as a mountain wave cloud formed. Enjoy!

July 10, 2018 saw us head to Canada. We caught the triple point supercell near Killdeer, Saskatchewan and ran with it down the warm front. It produced just under a dozen tornadoes and was a treat!!! Check out this video of it!

A wild day in southern Saskatchewan as we chased the triple point supercell that dropped over a half dozen tornadoes!!! Beautiful countryside and fortunately...

What a day! Terrible video still (didn't shoot photos until 2006 much), but June 9, 2005 in northwest Kansas was amazing! Numerous tornadoes, sometimes 2 or more at once. But this wedge near Hill City, KS was a beast. Check out this video too! https://youtu.be/3TUhN9VHPhI

11/21/2022

Wedge city!!! August 24, 2006 near Wolsey, SD. One of the biggest tornadoes this late in the season I've seen. Only a video still, but you get the idea. The supercell was a jaw dropper too!!!!! 5 tornadoes later....Here's the video that goes with this: https://youtu.be/r04vWQousNg

11/19/2022

WARNING! CRAZY VIDEO!!!! May 12, 2005 we captured the South Plains, TX beast. Cool thing was we designed a probe for a Japanese film crew and got them right in front of it to drop the probe. The video is NUTS!!! Enjoy!!! (Wish it was high quality!!! Grrrr)

Do you love storm structure? Check out our latest Youtube video from June 26, 2018! One of the best structured late season supercells I've witnessed!!!!!

One of the most incredible structured supercell of the 2018 season! Taken near Douglass, Kansas, we witnessed 4 supercells with the final one just jaw droppi...

Next wedge tornado! Shot with a Nikon F5 old film camera and a fisheye lens, this Brown County South Dakota F4 wedge occurred on June 23, 2002. It was the strongest tornado ever recorded there. We witnessed 5 tornadoes this day with a couple within a 1.4 mile from us. (Pics of those later!)

11/16/2022

The wedge. Largest of all tornadoes. Defined as a tornado that is wider than it is from the ground to cloud base. I'm going to do a series of "wedge" photos and video stills we've seen over the years on our tours. Starting with the first one we saw on May 11, 2000. This F4 tornado occurred near Waterloo, Iowa and was one of nearly a dozen we witnessed this day!

11/14/2022

This looks like a Kansas or Texas huge cone tornado, but in reality it was in the mountains west of Roswell, NM May 23, 2018! A great day!!! The storm structure was jaw dropping as well!

11/12/2022

Manchester, SD, June 24, 2003. An incredible day where we saw 16 tornadoes, with Caryn's first time seeing tornadoes with me while driving Van #1! Although this is a video still, the intensity and power of this F4 wedge, now drill press was incredible. Tim Samaras was on the other side dropping his probe, landing him in the Guinness Book of World Records!

11/10/2022

Absolute gnarly wedge tornado buried in the rain/huge hail. Looking down the notch to the southwest of this supercell near Gann Valley SD June 18, 2014. A day we witnessed nearly a dozen tornadoes!

11/09/2022

It's a beautiful morning here in Colorado! Enjoy the day everyone!

11/07/2022

Can't believe it's almost Nov! Looking back on my fav Nov tornado! Of course Nov 16, 2015 near Groom, TX. Funnel formed over our heads and raced north. We saw about a half dozen tornadoes, all shapes and sizes. Love this wide shot (11mm)! Maybe nature will give us some later this week!

10/28/2022

Sometimes the supercell is what gets your attention. Sometimes it's the tornado. This MONSTER supercell with wedge tornado occurred on June 17, 2014 near Camp Crook, SD and was a sight to behold. You just want to put the camera down and take it all in!

10/27/2022

June 19, 2018 Prospect Valley, CO tornado and supercell were gorgeous! Check out this video we uploaded recently! Some cool footage!

Tornadic supercell, almost in my backyard! Prospect Valley, CO tornado and supercell was just 25 miles from home on June 19, 2018, so it made for an easy ch...

Cool image of a textbook high based supercell over NW OK May 14th. looking east/northeast. Notice the circular base with clear slot on the back side (left) of the base, and precipitation in the form of rain and large hail wrapping around the mesocyclone. Pretty storm but no way in hell would it ever produce a tornado.

10/19/2022

Fun 10 minute video of a broad dusty circulation near Julesburg, CO June 17, 2018. Enjoy!

Interesting day with supercells forming on a boundary early afternoon in northeast Colorado and becoming tornadic as the main storm moved into southwest Nebr...

Imagine if this were to greet visitors to the town of Canton, OK!! Fortunately, this strong tornado BARELY missed town!

10/13/2022

Farmington, NM from my hotel during my Magical Lands tour weekend before last. Crazy lightning! Just wish it weren't midnight and being tired from the day's photo shoot with my guests or I would have driven south on the ridge and shot this over town grrrrr.....

10/11/2022

One of my favorite stops on our Magical Lands Tour. White Pocket. Due to morning thunderstorms, the 13 mile long, deep sand/mud track was a rough one getting there, but wow, when the pockets are full of fresh water, it truly IS magical!!!! They disappear really fast! (10/3/2022)

10/10/2022

We are releasing our 2024 tour schedule Nov 1st! Due to the NUMEROUS requests for it, we have maintained an advanced notification list of guests who want a spot in 2024, so if there is a tour you want (like T1, 3, 4, 5, or any photo tour), please don't wait too long as I have about 40 people already wanting 2024 spots. If you'd like to be put on the advanced notification list, please send a request through the Silver Lining Tours website and we'll add you to the list. This will get you access to the schedule a week before our release to the public. (Photo Alpena, SD June 18, 2014)

White Pocket, one of the most amazing places on earth. Even more magical after a heavy rain yesterday with water pockets full! Fun sand/water slog drive there for 15 miles, but as usual, it is ALWAYS worth it! I've been here dozens of times with my tours, but you never get tired of it!
