It's not always the big powerful storm that brings the best moments to chasing. Sometimes it's the simple storms over the right landscape. Sometimes it's the scenes as you wait for storms to develop.
It's taking mother nature in for all her beauty along with her rage.
Badlands back in 2022 and west of Pueblo in 2021.
Join us in May of 2025, and enjoy these types of scenes yourself!

Well. Got on a few rotating storms Sunday. But they could never get the job done. Florida has some tough sledding for chasing, but Debby almost got it done when I had views.
Also. That guy in the Gulf in downpours and 60 mph gusts. That was kinda.... Interesting to watch.

04/08/2024

Already posted this photo. But just decided.
Anyone in the Tampa area, interested in a quick day tour tomorrow around Florida to see if we can intercept a tropical tornado, let me know!
A lil Debby discount special for the day. $100, room for up to three!
*Can not guarantee anything will be seen. But every attempt will be made!

03/08/2024

Tornado threat in Debby ramping up.
Off work tomorrow night.
You know what I'll be doing tomorrow afternoon....

There are some things that make you unsure how you feel.
Tour 2 saw Greenfield. Couldn't get good photos because of how far from us the tornado was, and our location, but we were there and saw it.
Knowing the damage, destruction, and deaths, it was already somber feeling knowing we were there.
Now, knowing it could have set a record for fastest wind speeds ever recorded on earth?
Surreal.
And an absolute beast of a storm

Couple of quick cell phone shots of the tornado in SW Oklahoma today.
Thing was a beast!

10/05/2024

And the first look at my first day out this year.
I'll take a marginal at this point. With a slight to come at some point I'm sure.
These often give some of the best structure and chase days there are!
See you all in Central/West Texas this Sunday!

That moment you leave Florida to chase storms in the plains, only to have signals for super cells in Florida...
Two years ago, my wife photographed a tornadic storm, just before it planted a brief tornado a few miles from my house.
I didn't get any tornados in any storms I was on, in Iowa Nebraska and Illinois...
If this happens again... Might be time to retire!

06/05/2024

When my wife wonders where I am....

04/05/2024

Come one forecast and mother nature
A little more red in the plains in that first one, and keep that second one, and let it happen!
Would make for a great two weeks out there
Texas been popping off. Let's see more of the same.

30/04/2024

Storm chasers around the nation are getting excited, because tomorrow...

Storm chasing isn't always going for the highest tornado risk. Tomorrow is the perfect example. The higher tornado risk is in east Texas, but the better play is actually going to be near the Texas panhandle. Better chase terrain, less traffic, slower storms, and structure. All better than potentially grungy fast tornadic storms. If I were chasing tomorrow, my initial thoughts are the Abilene to Wichita Falls area Care to see what we find on these days? Join us this spring on a tour! I want to get you the best experience possible, and sometimes it's going for the storms that won't be as likely to drop a tornado. https://darksky-adventures.com/

How close is too close to a tornado? Well, that depends on a lot of factors. Storm speed, motion, escape routes, etc. all must be taken into consideration. This tornado near La Grange Texas May of 2021 was about 150 yards away, moving away from me. Given the storm, and speed of the storm, and road network, I knew I was perfectly ok sitting here as it moved away from me. Worked hard to get into position, and was rewarded with this not so photogenic spinner. Have you ever wanted to get close to a tornado or see one yourself? Join us this spring and this could be you! https://darksky-adventures.com/

Tuesday could be an interesting day here in Florida. And I'm off work. Get my adulting done early enough... Oh boy. Who wants to chase?!?!?!

This updraft was spinning like crazy! Tried it's best to plant a tornado near Dora New Mexico May 31 2023. Unfortunately it did not succeed. Perfect location over empty fields with an amazing sightline. Join us this spring to see amazing sights such as this! Holiday special! Book before Jan 15 and get $200 off your tour! Nothing says I love you more than sending a loved one on a storm chase tour Or treating yourself for that matter! https://darksky-adventures.com/

Well, there was a confirmed tornado about 5-6 miles from me, and I was stuck at work Attempted several videos from the parking lot. MAAAAYBE some power flashes at times mixed in the lightning. At best And looks like a few more rounds are coming
