Beautiful crepuscular rays aka sun rays!
This inadvertently 🔄 belongs in storm chasing. We all chase water vapor
A more detailed tweet about it. The main tweet has a model of the coronal mass ejection, while the quoted tweet has coronograph imagery.

A farside coronal mass ejection (not Earth faced) took place earlier today with an ejection estimated speed of over 3000 km/s!!! This is EXTREMELY rare to see!
Aydin has come up with a new name for panoramic auroras 😂
Our friend @calypsocat.eth has been busy. I can’t wait to see these solar weather images.

Another Hurricane force low pressure area forming behind me as well, and rapidly intensifying. Last night’s prospects are coming alive, will navigate more SE’ly south of Hawaii. How’s your Saturday going so far?👨🏻‍✈️
Dave, our Granddaughter and I had the amazing experience of seeing a what is called a wet (rain) microburst. As soon as I realized what I was seeing I knew I had to document this rare event that I had only been seen as sketches as diagrams in weather books.
3 stages of a wet microburst
1/ Contact Stage
2/ Outburst Stage
3/ Cushion Stage

Danaging Winds exceeding 100mph equivalent to a EF1 tornado + over a localized area of 2.5 miles/4 kms
We were exhausted after a full day of chasing. So we got a hotel room to get some badly needed sleep. Mother Nature had other plans…

This was taken from our hotel room window.

We both thought this big bolt hit the gas station so simultaneously both Dave and I dove to the other side of the bed to take cover. 😂

FYI
Lightning is as small as your thumb and as hot as the sun⚡️
⚡️Lightning comes in all shapes, sizes and colours. Each bolt is an individual like our finger prints. No two lightning bolts are alike. ⚡️
