Mike Theiss Instagram - FEATURED PHOTO OF THE WEEK: This has to be the most amazing photo I have ever seen of volcanic lightning discharged from an erupting volcano, also known as a “Dirty Thunderstorm”. The Calbuco volcano erupted on April 22, 2015 (Earth Day) in southern Chile. Volcanic lightning occurs when fragmented particles collide in the volcanic plume and generate static electricity.

Mike Theiss Instagram - Totality !! The Great Solar Eclipse of 2017 was one of the most incredible events I have ever witnessed !! We observed 100% totality in central Wyoming for over 2 minutes with clear skies and all smiles :) We could feel a significant temperature drop during totality. Nature is so cool !!
.
Sorry the live stream didn't succeed. Unfortunately, all data and cellphone reception failed a few minutes before totality began. I was really looking forwarded to streaming this live to everyone.

Mike Theiss Instagram - (Dashcam capture) While storm chasing in tornado alley my Garmin dashcam captured a rare phenomenon called "upward-moving" lightning, also known as "ground-to-cloud" lightning. I witnessed this TV tower get struck 3 times in a 10 minute span. The third strike occurred when I was close to the tower and it was truly incredible. The lightning shot straight up from the tip of the tower and branched out like a tree up into the clouds and flashed several times before it finally discharged all its energy.

Mike Theiss Instagram - Welcome to the Florida Keys, Home to the most scenic and beautiful highway in the world !! The Overseas Highway is a 113-mile roadway carrying U.S. Route 1 (US-1) through the islands of the Florida Keys. Large parts of the highway were built on the former land used for the Overseas Railroad, Completed in 1912 by Henry Flagler, the Overseas Railroad was heavily damaged and destroyed during the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935. The Florida East Coast Railway was financially unable to rebuild the destroyed sections, so the roadbed and remaining bridges were sold to the state of Florida for $640,000.

Mike Theiss Instagram - Best assignment ever !! A few years ago I was camping alone on top of the Kilauea volcano with a sky full of stars. I have never felt more connected to mother earth in my life. The glowing red in the cracks is a river of scorching hot molten lava flowing underneath my campsite and the red glow on the horizon is where the lava is dripping and oozing into the Pacific Ocean. Kilauea is an active shield volcano located at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island in the Hawaiian Islands, the most active of the five volcanoes that together form the islands of Hawaii.

Mike Theiss Instagram - Intense supercell thunderstorm with multiple lightning bolts striking the ground at the same time in Kansas after a long day of storm chasing. The sound was so loud it left my ears ringing for over an hour. Lightning is a massive electrostatic discharge between the electrically charged regions within clouds or between a cloud and the surface of the planet. The charged regions within the atmosphere temporarily equalize themselves through a lightning flash, referred to as a "strike" if it hits an object on the ground.

Each offers its own unique Bahamian experience. Great Exuma and Little Exuma are known for their laid-back surroundings, while The Exuma Cays act as a playground for the rich and famous, boasting numerous private homes, luxury resorts and beachside condos. The Exumas are also rich in history, settled by British Loyalists following the American Revolution. TAG a friend you want to visit Exuma with. Photo by Mike Theiss @ExtremeNature

Mike Theiss - 7.7K Likes - Intense supercell thunderstorm with multiple lightning bolts striking the ground at the same time in Kansas after a long day of storm chasing. The sound was so loud it left my ears ringing for over an hour. Lightning is a massive electrostatic discharge between the electrically charged regions within clouds or between a cloud and the surface of the planet. The charged regions within the atmosphere temporarily equalize themselves through a lightning flash, referred to as a "strike" if it hits an object on the ground.
