I have been chasing storms across Tornado Alley and the Mid-Atlantic since 1997. I also do nature and landscape photography.

This isn't lightning, but it's still electric! ⚡ A pilot flying in Australia captured a phenomenon known as St. Elmo's Fire. It occurs when strong electric fields ionize the air, creating glowing plasma along parts of the aircraft, including the windshield. The phenomenon itself isn't dangerous, but it can be a warning sign of nearby thunderstorms and lightning.

Another SpaceX launch is scheduled for 6:30 AM Monday, but don’t expect a repeat of last week’s spectacular show. This rocket will head southeast from Florida, away from the Carolinas. Last week’s launch traveled northeast up the East Coast, giving us a much better view of that gorgeous glowing plume. We may catch a glimpse toward the south or southeast, but anything visible would likely stay very low near the horizon, with any illuminated plume much farther away. If you’re up, it’s worth a look. For me, I’m sleeping in. 🚀🚀🚀

Still of a rain-wrapped #tornado that passed just to my west on October 11, 2026. I was just west of Louisburg, NC on 56. The tornado was confirmed by the NWS to be EF-1, path length 1.93 miles, maximum width 130 yards. Luckily no injuries or deaths. @NWSRaleigh

The giant puffball mushroom is a massive white blob that appears in temperate forests in Canada in late summer and early fall. But can you eat it? The Weather Network's Marta Czurylowicz finds out all there is to know about this monster of the forest. Watch more video: ow.ly/GPs850ZY5TW

This is great news for Mid-Atlantic storm chasers. I frequently pass through this area when chasing storms. I love their brisket and chips. wral.com/news/local/bucees-e…

Buc-ee’s eyeing new location on I-95 in Nash County

Buc-ee’s is a chain of massive travel centers and convenience stores. The planned location would be the chain’s second in North Carolina, joining one under construction in Mebane.

I had a great view of the @SpaceX Falcon 9 resupply rocket to the space station early this morning. CRS-55 mission. Not quite as good as some previous launches, but still nice. Those watching in FL had an amazing view of iridescent clouds from the rocket.

The view from Florida was amazing. Congratulations to @AletheaKontis for an awesome magical shot.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SPACE JELLYFISH I HAVE EVER SEEN! I completely forgot there was a rocket launch this morning, so I was walking through the bathroom thinking, "What is that giant orange ball outside my window?" IT WAS THIS
