There weren’t many traditional dryline setups on the menu for me this year, so when one finally matched up with my schedule on May 26, I had to give it a go.
My initial target was the Oklahoma Panhandle with the thought I might need to hedge into Kansas as the day went on — but looking over surface obs and satellite imagery it was obvious that the storm of the day in my target zone was definitely going to be in Texas.
After a not so daring core punch, I found myself in position as this storm ramped up and began a weak tornadofest. This was a good quality dryline storm, check it out by watching the vid!

Excellent footage!
I was going to exclaim "Excellent!" but someone beat me to it. Really well done! Storm characteristics displayed with marvelous clarity. Keep up the great work! Best of luck to you.
Love the style of these videos, very informational! Already getting hyped for spring!
Wondering how frequent are thunderstorms in the Texas panhandle ??
OMG first view of this storm I've seen. I was 2 hours north, wishing I was there. Great storm and great job predicting it.. If I may ask, very curious as to what made you choose this location that day. I was going to stay in Texas myself, but drove to Kansas to meet a friend. bad mistake. BUST CITY……
Hey! Just found you. Been looking for more tornado/storm photography videos. These are great! Love your deep dives!
Timelapses are on point by the way.
