Hello rotating water vapor enthusiasts. Just wanted to let you guys know I'll be whipping out several short Australian reptile videos over the next several weeks as I'm reviewing and cataloging all the footage. I don't want to ping you guys more than I have to, so be sure and check my other Youtube Channel "Wild S...

All this cold boring weather is making me dream of tornado season. Below in the attachments is the free download for this version of "Over The Rainbow." The movie came out the same year as my guitar... 1939.
Spent the last couple jet lagged days dumping, labeling and organizing my Darwin Australia foo...

Well, the storms here have been about the weakest I’ve ever seen. Strange considering they’re the tallest. Any weaker and they’d be called clouds. I think I managed 3 lightning strikes this entire trip.
I’m far from unhappy. The nature and wildlife here has givin’ me one of the most joyful weeks of my life. T...

Loss of words to describe the sights here. If you love nature and wildlife then this is heaven. I’m running low on sleep and it’s booming thunder outside right now. Will update with better video, stories and pics later. Right now it’s harvest time!

It’s actually Friday here in Darwin. I’m thankful for a forecast of storms everyday while I’m here AND the crazy animals I saw yesterday... grilled dragon, giant fruit bats, the deadly brown snake, the brown tree snake, the dingo AND KANGAROOS!!! Thank you for this Patrons

I'll arrive in Darwin Wednesday afternoon in high hopes of thunderstorms. The current forecast is looking damn good. Big thunderstorms, huge crocodiles, deadly snakes, deadly jellyfish, crazy birds... Does it get better than that? Yes. Dingos, kangaroos, frilled dragons, termite mounds... 2019-11-23 00:29:06 +0000 UTC View Post
For those who are more into the Rock n Roll... We recorded this song back in 2004 and here we are taking it on tour in NYC in 2006. You might recognize the breakdown / violin section in several storm videos over the years. I wrote the lyrics about a girl struggling with anorexia nervosa.

While flying over the Bering Straight, I finally scored my first Auroras. For close to an hour I shot video out the window and won’t be able to view it on a computer until I’m back home in 10 days. Here’s a pic from an iPhone.

Here it is! I wanted to make a video of my all time most beautiful captures... My greatest lightning, tornadoes, rainbows, sprites and what not. A portfolio of stable shots without windshield wipers that focuses on the beauty (sometimes terrible beauty) of Mother Nature's storms. Thanks for helping me make this dr...

When the first tornado warning was issued I was trapped in a neighborhood with re-routing construction. I eventually made my way to the shores of Lake Ray Hubbard for a spectacular view to the west where I anticipated the storm and possible tornadoes to come to me. Clear air smooth channel positive lightning was f...

Currently have confidence for storms to initiate near the Red River Valley at 8-9pm this evening. It’s far from ideal, but it’s close to home and it’s October. I’ll post updates and worthy/irrelevant photos in this thread when possible / inspired. Have a great Sunday!

Storms on this day were a little elevated and forecast to be outflow dominant. They were headed into the Nebraska sand hills where there's 2 roads. This road and that road. Do you take it easy and watch this show from way back here or work your butt off for extremely slim odds underneath?

You've got a better chance to see a tornado on a good slight risk 5% day than a High risk 45% day. Here is some less than mediocre footage of the Mangum tornado this year.
I'll slowly start working on "Tornadoes of 2019" and hope to send you guys some of the other tornado events from this year I haven...

This is the kooky cool tune I used in my last whale shark video. I looped and mixed out most of the organ and replaced it with twangy surf guitar. Had to be done.

Here's one of three live tunes PBS Shot and mixed at the University of Houston campus. Jo Bird shreds the viola on this one... Actually she shreds every song. I'll be posting a free download of that La La La LA song in the last Mexico video for you guys in a day or two.

Super excited that Paul Smith captured one of the most magnificent TLE events I've seen on video. A cluster of sprites (Red) with vibrant secondary jets (purple / blue) and green afterglow on the peaks of the streamers. This is a deal sealer. Anybody previously arguing these events are not real can now...

I'm a little frustrated how long this video has taken me to edit. That's usually the result of lots of crappy footage and bad audio to sort through. After 40-50 hours and thousands of little decisions I've finally got this one whittled down to the clean choice cuts. Good fun stuff.

I managed to take the best from several corrupted files and complete a presentable video from my College of Dupage lecture last March. The camera mic at the back of the room was pretty good so that's our main audio until people start yapping next to it. Prior to the lecture I bought a lav mic, but the wrong dongle...

My punk-ass cousin Spencer lived in Hawaii for a couple years and came back to Texas shredding on the Ukulele. Here he is playing "Something" by the Beatles.
This was recorded live with a Nikon D7000 in the Basin in Big Bend Texas on one of our animal adventures. You can hear the occasional slight gusts of ...

Quite a difference in GFS runs since yesterday’s slam into Florida. This run has the eye wall staying just offshore before U-turning back into the Atlantic.
Good news for Florida. Georgia, Carolinas... not so much. I’m not a hurricane expert but it looks like this scenario would generate a MEAN storm surge from Geor...

Here's a video of a sweet little vinegaroon just uploaded to my other channel. Caught this gem on my recent Arizona trip. Man there's a lot of footage to sort through, but if i don't leave the desk to sleep or eat, i can probably have the Arizona tornado, lightning, aliens, mermaid and wild animals completed...

Here's one of my faves from my recent week in Arizona (that isn't a snake or bug). You can download it and print it in the link below.

Well whatdaya know! This cute landspout was west of Tucson yesterday afternoon. Some decent lightning followed by a fiery sunset over saguaros. After that I scored an adult sidewinder and an adult California kingsnake among other critters. We’ll definitely have to do a sneak peek video of all the fun when I get pack Wednesd...
