Disclaimer: Storm chasing is serious business! In order to chase safely you must have an understanding of severe weather and it's behavior. Our team members have spent years studying the conditions that produce severe weather and avoid placing themselves in harm's way. Please take time to educate yourself and your loved ones on proper precautions in the event that severe weather strikes your area. The best way to learn to chase responsibly and safely is to find an experienced chaser willing to teach you the ropes. At the very least educate yourself about the science behind severe weather. Learn to recognize the signals the sky will send you. Contact your local NWS office for more information on Skywarn Spotter training. This volunteer effort provides vital information to the local Forecast Office during severe weather events.
