The April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse
April 25-28, 2024 featured the most prolific April tornado outbreak since 2011 with 141 tornadoes, including my first seen tornado near Gentry/Albany, Missouri.
The May 10-11, 2024 solar storm was the strongest in over two decades and generated northern lights as far south as Florida, U.S. and northern India; the first aurora show I have vividly witnessed. Auroras were even overhead in Kansas City it the storm's peak.
May 19-27, 2024 featured the year's worst tornado outbreak sequence with 247 tornadoes, 34 of which were strong EF2+ tornadoes. One supercell would spin up multiple tornadoes west of Anthony, Kansas, including a unique EF2, formed from a sequence of events during a storm merger.
During early October of 2024, yet another series of solar storms struck the Earth's atmosphere, causing vibrant auroras to erupt across the globe in exceptionally far south latitudes.
