Finally A Local Storm Chase Less Then An Hour From Home… Caught This Wall Cloud Near Glenco MN.

5/30/04 Caught A Tornado Near Brandon Ia, Between Waterloo and Cedar Rapids Iowa. A tornado forms and comes right towards me then lifts up and into a funnel cloud and right over me.

Chasing Tornadoes In North Central Kansas And South Central Nebraska With My Friend Dean Cosgrove from Windswept Chase Tours. Caught Several Great Storms.

In Topeka KS. Chased some Tornadic Super Cells In Nebraska, Kansas, And Missouri. Caught This Tornado North East Of Bigelow MO.

Wow, what an insane night last night. Lots of stuff happening and still trying to wrap my head around how close and how large that tornado was after dark. Below are a couple of the damage videos from the day after.

Chasing Storm In Nebraska today. I chased a tornadic supercell that hit the town of Hallam, NE. Way too much to post while on the road and a very fluid situation. Below is the video I shot of the storm before dark and after dark.

Shot several video packages for TWC in Minneapolis, MN this morning and then blasted south to catch this storm near Dakota City, IA tonight.

Back home after a very long night of storm chasing. Drove all the way up to northern Minnesota to catch the storms.
