Chasing Season Starts Soon!!!
I know it's a little early but it truly is around the corner. I set my truck up with a laptop mount, web cam and video camera for streaming with Chaser TV . You can also go to Extreme Weather Chase Team to view my live stream. Here are the pictures
I started gaining interest in storms when I joined the local Volunteer Fire Department, ever since the first time spotting I was hooked. My first storm produced no tornados but straight line damaging winds and I was out with the FD until 5:00AM that morning guarding downed power lines and downed trees. The same storm also ripped a grain bin off the foundation at my parent’s farm and blew it across a road where it came to a halt 2000 feet from its foundation.
Since then I have traveled tons of miles chasing storms and have gotten to see some absolutely amazing sites and storm structure.
Some people ask me why I devote so much time and energy to chasing; my answer to that question is another question. “What other passions allow you to protect lives?”
