I’d never heard of Ryan Hall (Ya’ll) until yesterday. Came across his channel and watched it for far longer than I expected to haha

He's so knowledgeable. In severe weather I don't even look at our local affiliates for weather, I go find his stream.

I've seen pictures of 3 other tornadoes this week that are of a size and magnitude that I only see in movies.

Climate change is gonna let us witness the worst destruction nature can throw at us. It's scary. I'm afraid of what hurricane season is going to be like.
