With winter coming, I will work on sharing more content that I’ve not shown before.

This is another tornado from 4/26/24 near Waverly, NE. This was rated EF-1, and was from the cyclic supercell that produced the Lincoln EF-3 and the Elk Horn EF-4. Thankfully this one remained in fields and only damaged trees with no injuries.

We saw so many tornadoes that day I’ll be talking about it for years.

Hoping for the best for everyone in Jamaica. This is as bad as it gets. This monster is crawling at 5mph and is forecasted to make landfall as a cat 5 sometime Tuesday.

NWS has issued a Freeze Warning for much of Iowa Thursday morning. Is this the end of the BUGS?!?

🚒 Proud Firefighter Moment 🚒

Many of you know me from facebook and youtube, but what you might not know is that I’m also a volunteer firefighter with the Adel Volunteer Fire Department here in Iowa. Adel Volunteer Fire Association

Our team recently partnered with local artist Irish Riverat to create a song and video called “Before the Call.” It’s a powerful tribute to volunteer firefighters and all first responders — and to the families who support us when the pager goes off in the middle of dinner, holidays, or the middle of the night.

I couldn’t be prouder of my department and the people behind this project — my brothers and sisters who give up so much of their “before the call” time to serve others. And just as important, I’m proud of our families who quietly carry part of that load too. ❤️

🎥 Watch the video here: https://bit.ly/AFD-BTC
🎶 Stream the song on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, or YouTube Music — just search Before the Call by Irish Riverat.

Take a few minutes to watch and share it. It means a lot to us — and to every volunteer across the country who gives back where they live, work, and play.

song honors the courage, sacrifice, and everyday lives of volunteer firefighters, and their families, who give back ...

Friday June 28th, 2024 was an active evening near Atlantic and Wiota, Iowa. The sunset gave these tornadoes an incredible view I’ve never seen before!

Nice chase in northern Iowa tonight. Good to be back under the clouds again.
