Rain-wrapped, wedge-shaped tornado races toward the community of Clarksville, Texas on 8 March 2011. Our 1st tornado of 2011 - we had no idea this would be one of the most intense tornado years on record.

Chance for tornadoes over Eastern and Southeastern Ohio today - roaring low-level jet, deep moisture, and some instability. #ohwx

Video still of a violent, longtrack tornado tearing over the community of Franklin, Kansas during a significant outbreak on May 4, 2003. This twister caused 2 areas of potential F5 damage indicators (prior to EF-Scale), but was rated "Highend F4". @StormgasmJim

Nor'easter (bombcyclone) yesterday broke records for some locations: Providence, Rhode Island (Warwick) measured 37.9 inches of snow accumulation, high winds & heavy snow caused widespread white-out conditions. Was in the teeth of it during the storms peak!

If the average person can go to jail or be sued into poverty for an auto accident, ANY transportation company owning self-driving vehicles should get same treatment. No driver, then the company OWNER(S) must be held accountable to the same level as an individual driver. FAFO

I've documented significantly more extreme snow events, but I'm still
grateful to have been able to document this local historic event in my hometown. Understand this was nothing on the scale of the Great Blizzard of '78 with respect to overall storm intensity. #OHwx

NEW RECORD MAXIMUM SNOWFALL FOR DAYTON, OHIO:
12.4 inches of snow accumulation at the Dayton International Airport. This overtakes the official 12.2 inches measured from the infamous Blizzard of 1978, also known as the Midwest Super Bomb.

9 to 10 inches of snow accumulation in Dayton area so far - this next round moving in might push us up and maybe over the 1 Foot hump!
