Ride with veteran storm chasers on a personalized tour chasing the most powerful storms on earth!
Tour 1 kicked off last week and although it was a slow week weatherwise, we had a great time with our guests! We drove 2400 miles from southwest Texas to north central Oklahoma during the week while hitting some popular spots during down days like the Route 66 museum, Buddy Holly museum, Palo Duro Canyon and Fredricksburg, tx. We only had a couple storms to chase but we made the most of it!
First tornado reported in Wisconsin in the month of February. Maybe this will be the first '1st' of a year of many firsts! Join us tis year on the tour to witness your first...or second...
We're on the countdown to the tours in May! We still have a few seats open and a new pricing option. Take a look at the website at F5TornadoSafaris.com to see and secure your seat before they are gone!
Happy last Sunday of the year everyone❤️🙏, I pray God keep each and everyone of us alive and strong to see the new year 🙏
Stay safe everyone

Tour 1: Day 6 and 7 - Today we woke up in Shamrock, TX and drive across Oklahoma to the eastern portion of the state where the boundary and front where moving south. Turns out the flow was more unidirectional and nothing really got going. We decided to stay the night at a casino along the oklahoma-Arkansas border and had a good night. The final day was quiet so we drove back west with a stop a Pops before heading back to the hotel. We met up with the new tour group for dinner and a stop at the memorial after dinner.
Tour 1: Day 5 - Thursday brought the best day of the week as we dropped down to Dalhart, TX for lunch and to wait for development. Great BBQ at Hodies! We sat in between two small cells and decided to head to the northern cell west of Stratford. We watched this storm spin for several hours as it moved slowly east under weaker upper level flow. The hail core was a bright turquoise and amazing! We got beautiful structure and had a great chase, but not enough upper level flow for the tornado. Overall, a great chase!
Tour 1: Day 4 - we planned to move west into Colorado to try our luck at what looked to be mire disorganized storm development. We ended up in Springfield, CO and then went west to meet up with some storms coming off the bigger terrain. These storms didn't have the tools and we ended up moving to Guymon, OK for the night.
Tour 1: Day 3 - Just a repositioning day Tuesday from Springfield, MO to Dodge City, KS where we tried our luck at the casino after a long drive. Waiting for storms Wednesday in southeastern CO.
Two days from Tour 1! This is when you know you're close!
Two seats left in Week 2 (May 20-28)! Who wants to check off some bucket-list thrills? Today’s the day!!

Hi Gregg:
I’m sorry it has taken some years to touch base. But, thanks in large part to you, I’m leading a busy life these days!
As you might recall, I had an issue with canceling a reservation the year I joined you. You were gracious enough to return the payment for my fiance's reservation without asking many questions. I believe I said she was recovering from some sort of surgery.
In reality, my fiance, brother, sister-in-law and nephew had been killed in a single-engine plane crash in Italy six months before our scheduled trip with F5! Needless to say, I was devastated. After the funerals, I didn’t leave the house for two months. I lost my dream job as a partner in a law firm simply by not showing up. I changed my phone number so I didn’t have to deal with the outpouring of sympathy. It was all well-intentioned, but I didn’t have the bandwidth to deal with it.
It was my sister who talked me into keeping my F5! reservation. She finally wore down my resistance by convincing me that the only strategy that was going to return my life to some semblance of normality was to avoid normality at all costs. After all, normality had never been our thing; like me, my late fiance and my brother preferred adrenaline-filled adventures to lazing about a beach sipping cocktails.
Thus did I show up in Oklahoma City that May day a broken man. Determined not to let my darkness infiltrate the group, I threw myself into our chases those first few days. Fake it ‘til you make it, right?
The thing is, by mid-week, I was no longer faking it. The comradery of chasing all those life-affirming funnel clouds (when everyone else was running in the other direction) revived my troubled soul and renewed my faith in mankind. Incredibly, all those blackened skies and grayscale landscapes restored color to my life. And I picked up a few lessons about leadership under duress, Gregg.
I certainly hope that none of your chasers this year has endured a journey to the edge of the abyss. But as we age, life tends to pile on the reasons to stay in bed in the morning. Everybody has issues. If I could tell your potential clients anything, it would be this: Sign up for a chase. Get back in the game. Put yourself in position to allow the winds of change to howl through your soul. The money will seem the most trivial of considerations for a life-affirming adventure of a lifetime!
