Happy #MothersDay to #HurricaneMom . This woman is my role model for values like discipline & strength. A model stay-at-home mom when I was a kid, she later had a career. Whether at home or work, she never called in sick or 'had a bad day.' Always independent & steady as a rock.👊

When I was a chaserpup, I never did what others told me to do. If someone said, 'Hey, li'l pup, this one's too dangerous for you,' I took that as a dare. Any chaserdude who's got that inner fire—that killer instinct to hunt—isn't gonna skip a storm because it's too edgy.

The Li'l Twisty Thing scene seems to explode into torrents of scolding & self-abuse after each big event. 'Tis interesting. Is there such rampant misbehavior—or it is holier-than-thou types gettin' on their high horses?

Stunning shot of a significant event in meteorological history—the widest tornado on record, & also the only known storm to actually kill people chasing it. P.S. Follow my friend, Simon—his work is top quality.
