Western Oklahoma: July 3, 2019

Texas Panhandle: June 1, 2019
It is only fitting that a string of 13 chase days in a row would finish off in the Texas panhandle. Expectations were far exceeded with this chase.
West Texas: April 22, 2019
I woke up very early today. I couldn’t sleep and I was on the fence about chasing, but I rarely back out of a chase unless the setup completely falls apart. Going into today,...

Western Kansas Supercells: May 25, 2017
Thursday’s storm chase in western Kansas featured quite a bit of structure. Although expectations were fairly low to start the day, it is late May and it’s hard to ignore a threat for severe...
Back to the High Plains: May 7
It was back on the road for May 7th for the first High Plains storm chase of May. The prior day was a travel day from Georgia to Kansas, putting me into great position...
