To say it was the best storm chase ever is an understatement. Was this the tornado chase of the year? No! This was the tornado chase of a lifetime? YES.
The other day, I brought Laura with me on a storm chase. We met up with Juston Drake and Simon Brewer and chased the Clear Lake, SD, and Gary, SD, tornado outbreak.
We started the day in Appleton, MN, where we met up with Juston and Simon, and Laura finally got to meet some of Dad’s friends.
Soon we were on the chase and Laura got to see her first tornado, and Simon got the tornado photo of a Lifetime with Laura and me.
Laura had a total blast seeing what Dad does in the field when he is actually storm chasing and not running the rights and clearances side of StormChasingVideo.
We topped it off by one more daddy / daughter photo in front of the Gary, SD tornado.
The day was full of surprises, and Laura counted seven different touch downs during this chase, which is more than some chasers even saw all season.
Here is a quick, short video recap I made of the day.
Laura said it was her best day ever. I’m working on a longer format video for this day to post in the coming months.
