Central Kansas: May 9, 2023
Starting a 3-day chase trip with low expectations, central Kansas lit up yesterday. I didn’t even leave Oklahoma City until 2 p.m., but I had more than enough time to chase a few storms....
Staying Local: May 2, 2022
Monday’s storm chase was about as local as it gets. Starting in Oklahoma City, I opted to go southwest toward a developing supercell thunderstorm near Chickasaw. Even though the Storm Prediction Center issued a...

Texas Panhandle: June 1, 2019

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,...

Southeastern Nebraska: June 11, 2018
I started the day focused on southeastern Nebraska with the potential for a few tornadic supercells. By mid-afternoon, storms in northeastern Nebraska started to rotate fairly quickly, but I wanted to hold off for...
