Day 2 – Lots of wall clouds and a nice land spout

This day turned out much better than our previous bust day. The shear was much bettter and most parameters looked ok. Since we were well positioned in Lubbock, TX, already we didn’t have to drive far for our first catch. The storms fired up early as well so we had a long and good chase...

Day 1: Semi-promising day turned to bust

I arrived a mess to my hotel in Tulsa after about 6 hours of sleep in total the last 48 hours or something. Phew! On Sunday morning we started Day 1 on the tour with Extreme Chase Tours. I didn’t use my newly acquired forecasting skills but just checked SPC website who showed a Slight...

Only a few days left for this season’s chase!

I have been awaiting this week since this winter when I booked my tour with Extreme Chase Tours. I have never been this prepared for a tour after my two week, full-time studies and some armchair-chasing after that. I am so excited to go and I really hope we will get plenty of chase days,...

10 day tour with Tempest Tours in early May 2013 – Part 2 “The Down Days”

The six days that followed produced no storms whatsoever in the entire country. We spent those days in south and southeast Texas.

10 day tour with Tempest Tours in early May 2013 – Part 1 “The setup”

I went with Tempest Tours in 2013 from May 1st to May 10th. I was scheduled to go with Weather Gods first but I had to reschedule very late (read more about why here). During this tour I actually didn’t blog or write a diary so I don’t have any detailed text about my experiences...

Why I never went chasing with Weather Gods in 2013

This blog post has, as well as many of my tour reviews, been back-dated to the time of when it occurred. In 2013 I decided quite late (in March) to go storm chasing and decided to go with Weather Gods from May 10th to May 19th. I chose this tour because it seemed like many...

Five day tour with PDS Storm Tours

This blog entry was originally written on my personal blog and directed (simplified) to my friends (who don’t know anything about storm chasing). I have translated it as it was and left it with no major editing. This was my second trip and I didn’t know that much about storm chasing at the time. I...
