Not the only person, but one of very few to ever have a full sunshine shot in the clear eye of a cat 5 hurricane. #wxtwitter
Are there any tornadoes/storms that you believe you have the best/only picture of?
I was the only chaser who witnessed this storm at this point near Leon, Iowa on June 7th, 2022.
