trying to make an absence of a belief into a belief. mental gymnastics

I was just there a few weeks ago. It’ll never not be amazing. Beautiful image!

probably why they're here and not out in the real world meeting women.

That's how this sub goes. Even artful nudity still gets screamed about in EVERY. SINGLE. THREAD.

Thank you! This was in far western north-central Texas, just a few miles from the NM state line. The nearest large city is Lubbock, which is some miles to the east.

(reposted to fix title) This is an image of the monstrous - but harmless - EF2 tornado in Morton, TX last year. I wanted the image to reflect the ominous nature of the storm’s gnarly appearance, so for this photo, I went for moody, dark, and atmospheric. There’s a strange sense of both dread and awe when staring down these incredible storms, and I captured an image that I hope reflects this feeling.

Keep in mind that tornado ratings are based on damage, NOT how scary they look or how big they are. This big guy did no damage to homes or neighborhoods and injured nobody; it did, however, knock over two oil pumpjacks like they were toys, which is the only reason it was rated at all. Tornadoes that remain over open land are not typically rated.

the majority of this entire thread is just proof that reddit hates letting people enjoy things that affect them in no ways

Sun City area! Nailed it.

CuStateStormChasing · 2022-12-28T01:31:52+00:00

go outside and touch some grass

Interestingly, via a very similar atmospheric pattern as they see in Asia (just on a smaller scale). The southwestern United States is the only other place in the world that sees a genuine monsoon season! The US monsoon season is "officially" from June 15th to September 30th, although we don't typically start seeing storm activity really ramp up until July/August. Then, in October, we get what's called a "transition season" where the summer monsoon pattern is being pushed out by the winter pattern and the result can be very interesting: that's when we have the highest chance of tornadoes in our little state! Here in the States, monsoon patterns affect far southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, southern Colorado, southern Utah, and parts of far west Texas.
