After I made a great update on StormChasingUSA.com last year I added validations of the reviews to make sure that the site would not get any fake reviews. Before I had this validation some angry letters from tour operators who claimed that competitors purposely wrote bad reviews of their company. Almost everyone who writes a […]
This year has been quite eventful for Europe in terms of storms and supercells. After coming back from a rather dull weather experience in May I saw reports on Twitter of amazing supercells over western Europe with baseball sized hail etc. I really have no tools or knowledge on how to chase in Europe, and […]
You probably already heard of the twin tornadoes outside Pilger, Nebraska, that unfortunately proved to be devastating for this town. Despite being deadly and devastating they were also quite beautiful, this is one of the most spectacular videos I have seen (on YouTube) and I have seen tons!
I have now finished my job of adding photos and texts about my previous storm chasing tours. The last one out was my tour with Tempest Tours in 2013, I was lucky to get a seat when my previous plans were cancelled. Unfortunately I ended up in one of the most quiet season starts for […]
I continue to re-publish my old blog post that I once wrote (in Swedish) on my personal blog, translate them into English and post them here. I hope they will be interesting for you to read (as a storm chasing story) and also give you an idea about how it is to chase with that […]
I have started adding, to this blog, some of my older chase blog entries that I first wrote for my personal blog (in Swedish) but later translated into English. I thought it would be interesting for the readers to be able to read my experiences with other tour companies as well. I’m starting off with […]
This was officially the last day of the tour but with no storms at all in the vicinity (and hardly at all in the US) we spent most of the day relaxing (it was well needed after all those shots yesterday). We had a tear-filled goodbye of our Aussie friends Tim & Jess and then […]
That tiny hope we had for the outflow boundary was lost during the morning briefing. The forecast was for tiny popup cells in the Tulsa area (in which we stayed) but we decided they were not worth chasing but instead decided to have some fun! After some lunch we all headed out for a tattoo […]
It wasn’t really news when Lanny announced to us that the tour was basically over during our morning meeting. The setup over the plains started to look more and more like summer weather leaving us stranded with absolutely nothing to work with. I am glad I hadn’t followed through with my plan to buy a […]
The reports we got last night was that today was going to be quite intense with even better shear and great instability. SPC had a Slight Risk in our area and a 5% tornado risk where we were positioned for the day. The next couple of days looked crappy so I realized this could very […]
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 […]
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 […]
I have been waiting for this day ever since I booked my tour in January but now I am finally on my way! I am currently sitting at Dallas / Fort Worth airport waiting for my last flight to Tulsa. I am super tired since my flight was at 7.30 am and I had to […]
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, […]
StormChasingUSA.com typically peaks at times when there is an outbreak of tornadoes (given all the attention from media I guess) and typically has a higher average during tornado season. I have noticed this a couple of times when I look at my stats from the website. By reversing the image I realized this actually looked […]
