May 24, 2011 Storm Chase | Powerful Dibble – Goldsby, OK EF4 Tornado
This was one of the most powerful Tornadoes we’ve ever witnessed. Unfortunately the haze of May 24 and the slight distance we were dealing with kept us from getting a truly spectacular angle on this one. Still, one we’ll always remember.

May 24, 2011 Storm Chase | Chickasha, OK Violent Monster Tornado
This was a monster of a tornado we captured on May 24, 2011. Still to this day, it probably ranks as the strongest tornado we’ve seen as it caused near EF-5 damage along its track from NE Chickasha towards the SW OKC metro area. This was truly a day.

May 24, 2011 Storm Chase | Violent Oklahoma Tornado Outbreak!

May 22, 2011 Storm Chase | Intense Hail Core Intercept near Davis, Oklahoma

April 24, 2011 Storm Chase | Baird, Texas Tornado on Easter Sunday
What a good decision this was! Chasing on Easter is a partial tradition for us as it seems like a lot of years everything lines up perfectly to spend the Holiday going after supercells. In 2011, this didn’t disappoint with a tornado in Central Texas!

April 23, 2011 Storm Chase | North Texas Tornado Warned Supercell and Wall Cloud
This was a great little storm chase in North Texas near the town of Gainesville. This storm formed in the late afternoon and went tornado warned with a pretty beefy wall cloud. Unfortunately as this stormed moved in the jungle, it became gradually more HP.

April 14, 2011 Storm Chase | Monster Tushka, OK EF3 Tornado
This was the chase that changed a lot of how we do things. We made the mistake of being north of a tornado’s path (aka to the left) and it almost cost us a vehicle at the very least. This tornado was a wedge then giant multi-vortex as it came into the town of Tushka,…

March 19, 2011 Storm Chase | Western Oklahoma Bustola
Early season gambles don’t always pay off. This early season chase day was an attempt to make something out of pretty much nothing. We got nothing. Oooooooops. This was also one of the last chases in the old Explorer.
