28 December 2023: SpaceX Falcon 9 launch

On @ChrisKridler and @AletheaKontis 's first day of Plains storm chasing in 2023, we rolled up on a gorgeous mess of intense rotating storms in New Mexico, ending with a beautiful UFO-like dust-eating supercell with lots of lightning in western Texas.

24 May 2023: Dusty tornadic supercell in New Mexico

@ChrisKridler and @AletheaKontis met up with Jason Persoff to chase the Morton, Texas, supercell that spawned a giant tornado. We were on the dusty side of the storm most of the time but were still treated to an epic show as we pursued the monster. Video ©2022 by Chris Kridler. Music licensed from Pond5.
