Day 9 – Beautiful bust day

By StormChasingUSA.com | June 2, 2015 | 0 Comments

I only slept three hours that night and was a bit of a wreck when I got into the car again. For the first time while chasing, I was looking at the SPC reports as Slight RISK and 5% tornado RISK. Previously, I had been looking at it as 5% tornado chance but, as mentioned, […]

Day 8 – Meager risk-chase turns into an outlaw chase

By StormChasingUSA.com | June 1, 2015 | 0 Comments

The play of the day was Montana which obviously was an impossible target for us. We still felt like chasing though and our forecasting (as well as SPC) hinted at a meager chance of supercells in the Texas panhandle (again). We did not have anything better to do, or chase, so we thought we might […]

Day 7 – Picnic sunday in between chases

By StormChasingUSA.com | May 31, 2015 | 0 Comments

Our only real plan for Sunday was to go to Rocky Raskovitchs storm chaser picnic in Piedmont outside of Oklahoma City, so David and I went out there. I was kind of hoping to find someone I might be able to chase with since I was looking left and right for options. Some 15 chasers […]

Day 6 – Going back to Tulsa

By StormChasingUSA.com | May 30, 2015 | 0 Comments

Our last day of the tour was mainly about getting back from Amarillo to Tulsa. We started with an amazing BBQ-brunch in Amarillo and continued eastward. When we reached Oklahoma city a few from the group went to see the Oklahoma City bombing memorial while I, and the tour guides, relaxed over a coffee. When […]

Friday was our last real chase day on the tour since we had to be back in the evening in Tulsa on Day 6 which limited our options. Not that it matter though since Saturday did not have any real storms to offer. Friday was the first day in the week when we did not […]

I woke up content but also a wee bit hungover from the celebration last night. For the fourth day in a row we had an SPC Slight Risk with 5% tornado risk to chase. This time in the Oklahoma panhandle and southeast Colorado. Since we already were in the same area (Shamrock, TX) we treated […]

Day 3 – Tornado outbreak in Canadian, TX

This was the third day of chasing a Slight Risk-area with a 5% tornado risk (according to SPC). We targeted the Texas panhandle and quite early SPC issued a mesoscale discussion for the area. It turned into a Tornado Watch-area sometime after lunch as we drove into Canadian, TX, that seemed to be the play […]

Day 2 – Chasing a wedge

By StormChasingUSA.com | May 26, 2015 | 0 Comments

Our target area today was primarily western Oklahoma so we started off south, chasing the dryline storms. At our lunch break at Arby’s we saw an incredible storm build up with a nice overshooting top – but it was over at the cold front some 90 miles away. We continued into north Texas after lunch […]

Day 1 – Funnel cloud on a very short chase

funnel cloud

Just as last year my neighbors decided to have a party the night before my trip and I had to get up at 4.30 to catch my plane! That, and being a bit nervous to oversleep made me sleep only one hour the night before. I slept on and off during the flights over to […]

2015 chase season starting (for me)

By StormChasingUSA.com | May 23, 2015 | 0 Comments

It’s finally time for my highly anticipated trip to the USA and my start of the 2015 chase season! Tomorrow morning I am finally leaving for Tulsa and the start of my chase. The last couple of weeks have been quite busy for me so I haven’t been able to study as much as last […]

stormchasingusa logo

When I remade StormChasingUSA.com some 2 years ago I created a logo that was supposed to be temporary but I got stuck with it for two years and never really took the time to change it. Now I have finally taken that time, with the help of my illustrator Vineta. I wanted to have one […]

The most exciting photo I have ever seen

Back in 2012 I was chasing with PDS Storm Tours and we were having a really slow week. We had pretty much called off the chase when the winds shifted on our last day and an opportunity appeared in Kansas on our way back to Oklahoma. I have put up the whole story here but […]

Most amazing lightning storm I have ever seen

I shot this video back in June 2009, using the video on my pocket camera (thus the bad quality). Nonetheless, it is still the best lightning I have ever witnessed.

Changing the logo for StormChasingUSA.com

By StormChasingUSA.com | January 30, 2015 | 0 Comments

When I remade StormChasingUSA.com my plan was to improve every part of the site, including the logo. The logo was changed but I was never really satisfied with it. I am no designer and the current one (below) was only meant to be something temporary. I mean, it’s ok but it really look like it […]

“Into the Storm” review – will the real main characters please stand up?

into the storm

  This review contains spoilers. I was helping out the production company a bit on the PR of “Into the Storm” here in Sweden and was supposed to have seen the press screening of the movie. I missed out on that one and instead saw the movie some 10 days later. By then, I ended […]
