Nice of SPC to lay out the target area for me so I can make up ground. Will post updates and cruddy iPhone photos in this thread if I can.
TODAYS HIGH RISK CHASE 5-20-19 (updates posted here when safe to do so)
I’m currently targeting somewhere near or west of Memphis TX. I’ll likely fine tune once I’m there. Often these high risk days don’t live up to the hype. I don’t think that’s the case today. Here’s what scares me most about today... I was just standing in my hotel room shooting the li...

Raw Tornado Video - Sneak Peek
Many of you guys requested the non-edited footage. Here ya go. No audio EQ, no stabilization, no music or narration. (though there is one time-lapse). TODAY's OUTBREAK - Thought I could take a few days off during this "lull." By the time I caught wind of today's tornado potential, it...
TODAY’s CHASE 5-02-19
(A) Early looks like the best bet for an isolated supercell, but there are few roads. (B) Later could fire some storms in the warm sector and more likely to tornado perhaps? There’s also a couple more roads. Place your bets.
TODAY’s CHASE 5-01-19
Hey gang. 5% chance of tornadoes today. But it’s May! Will update with phone shots when I can. Check out yesterday’s tornado in previous thread.
TODAY’s CHASE 4-30-19 & Yesterday’s Fun
Messy hairball atmosphere today with potential for gnarly tornadoes. Weak CINH (inhibition) means junk is going to go up everywhere. Maybe we’ll get lucky and catch a discrete storm... maybe. Anticipating a Rat scramble. I’ll post iPhone pics when I can in this thread. FUN ISOLATED STORM YESTERD...
Today’s Target 4-29-19
Maybe a storm near Midland TX around 7pm. Maybe a landspout. Maybe a horny toad. Worthy updates in this thread.

Current Significant Tornado Parameters, (STPs) forecast in the 5's tomorrow by the NAM (that's high). Horrid chase conditions... High Precipitation (HP), low contrast storms with low bases cruising up to 35+ knots over towering jungle and windy roads. Some local long time friends asked if th...

Next Video... TORNADO!
This Kansas tornado was on the ground for around 90 minutes and reached EF4 status on May 25, 2016. That evening I uploaded the Raw choice cuts and close shots to YouTube. I still have a lot of unseen footage of this tornado early in it's life before I got crazy close. After revisiting the foota...
Sunday's Storm Pic / New Video Tomorrow
Here's the storm I was chasing last Sunday east of Dallas. I set up for sprites and again didnt get any. Even without sprites, the storm time-lapse with the stars is still beautiful. You'll see this in my new video slated for upload tomorrow. There might be decent storms in OK Friday. We sha...
TODAY - RED RIVER
Weak but pretty storm last night viewed over Bowie TX (see photo below). Perhaps storms will have more oomph today along the Red River. Currently split between two target areas... Either Paris TX, or my couch in Houston. *Any updates and reports will be posted in this thread.
CHASING TODAY (last minute decision)
What the hell... it’s so close and As long as I’m driving I don’t have to edit video. I’ll keep y’all posted in the slim chance I see anything.
New Video from Scotty Kilmer :D
Scotty Kilmer and I got together and BS'd yesterday, got some Vietnamese food and talked cars. It took him less than a day to upload his video. Mine will likely take a few more days. Watcha think Patrons?
