Both October 10 and October 12 saw big severe weather risks introduced over the Great Plains. On both days, the possibility of long-tracked, strong tornadoes was discussed and on both days that threat largely failed to materialize (at least in the highest outlook areas!). What happened? I personally didn’t chase either day — though I…

Heading into 2021, I felt so much uncertainty about the prospect of making a full storm chase season happen again. I had largely taken 2019 off due to some extreme burnout after a (successful) stint doing storms on TV. I wanted to chase again in 2020 but my job situation was complicated by the uncertainties…

One of my favorite places to chase storms is in Northeast New Mexico where the Great Plains kiss the Rocky Mountains. This is a hotbed that is historically under-chased with multiple supercell and severe storm days every year occurring when upslope winds deliver plentiful moisture to the east slopes of the Rockies. Storm formation in…

Just about every chase season, I get to see a supercell do something terrible and miraculous all at once: produce a tornado. The build up to a tornado in most supercells is pretty predictable. How a tornado forms is just incredible to witness. Check out the video we recently posted highlighting four steps of the…

A powerful supercell moved southeast across Roswell, NM and dropped destructive hail up to 3″ in diameter. It also produced a powerful dust storm which made visibility zero and created deadly driving conditions! This was the first time I have ever been caught in dust such as this!

A series of tornadoes formed across Northern Colorado along a stalled boundary early in the afternoon on May 22. We caught these initial tornadoes before the storm mode turned messy and crowded out our tornado chances.

An amazing tornado churned across the Texas countryside just N of Sudan, TX. This video features over 2 minutes of HD video of various zoom levels as the tornado takes on numerous shapes and sizes!

A southeast moving supercell, that formed just southwest of Childress, Texas eventually produced several (4+) tornadoes across northern Texas over a few hour span. The first tornado happened north of Crowell, Texas with several larger and more photogenic tornadoes occurring later near Lockett, Texas.

A series of tornadoes of all shapes and sizes touched down from near Margaret Texas to Lockett, Texas. The first tornadoes in the video were near Lockett and were shot at close range.
