Beautiful supercell approaching Winslow right now. Pumping out huge bolts ahead of it!

I never expected my SOTY storm to: Be at midnight, on September 14th, or originate in Monument Valley.

The interesting weather started long before the tornado near Salt Lake City on September 18th. Beautiful early morning bolts over the lake had me up and out of bed by 4:30 for one of the most enjoyable chase days of the season!

I'm missing monsoon season already! This storm back on August 28 put out a bunch of photogenic bolts over the Sevenmile Mountains north of Globe, AZ. #azwx

The fall color is off to a great start in the eastern Sierra this year! Here are a few photos from last weekend.

Microburst with lightning over the Verde Valley on 8/9. Now if only that bolt could have struck about 100 pixels to the left... #azwx

Finally my personal favorite bolt from one week ago near Gloss Mountain state park, a barrage of bolts as a microburst dropped on the mountain!

This bolt probably melted down a little bit of copper as it struck one of the mines near Globe, AZ on 8/22 #azwx

This storm over the mountains north of Globe, AZ on 8/22 was a branchy bolt factory. This was a single 50 second exposure. #azwx

The amount of variety in just 3 days- from destructive, to moody, to serene- the Grand Canyon is one of the most awe-inspiring places on Earth. Photos from 8/29-8/31. #azwx

It took a decade of patiently waiting but on Friday night, in a fraction of a second, the Grand Canyon delivered a real-life version of a dream image I鈥檝e had since the day I started photographing the monsoon.

The quadruple lightning strike in the middle of the Grand Canyon. Evening of Aug 28. #azwx Thoughts go out those missing from the flash flood yesterday.

The Little Colorado River Gorge and I finally came to an understanding this evening. Lots of great stuff overall with storms along the volcanic field and up towards Page. #azwx

One year ago today, I drove away from a sure thing setup near home to take the chance at capturing the shot of a lifetime in Death Valley.

One year ago today a giant wall of wind and dust rolled through central Arizona. Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport recorded a 70 MPH wind gust and was shut down for more than an hour and a half. #azwx
