Storm Highway (formerly wvlightning.com) is the storm chasing and severe weather information library web site of photojournalist Dan Robinson.
Through our Charleston, WV-based StormScenes division, in cooperation with Minneapolis-based BNVN, Storm Highway regularly provides breaking news and severe weather footage for national broadcast on The Weather Channel and national news and cable networks. Our credits include CNN, ABC, The Discovery Channel, National Geographic, The History Channel, Good Morning America, Inside Edition, The Associated Press, dozens of local television stations, affiliates, magazines and newspapers across the United States.
We focus mainly on events affecting the Charleston, Huntington and Beckley corridor of West Virginia, but we also cover many significant severe weather events across the counrty - including tornado outbreaks, flash floods, landfalling hurricanes, and winter storms.
Appalachian Skies Media (appalachianskies.com) is the business side of Storm Highway, providing weather photography and video content to media, corporate, small business and private clients.
StormScenes (stormscenes.com) is the stock video division of Appalachian Skies, with an extensive inventory of ready-to-use video for media, corporate, educational, church or non-profit applications.
All photographs and video on the Appalachian Skies, Storm Highway and StormScenes sites were captured on-location just as they appear. No digital manipulation or special camera effects were used to create these images, so what you see here is what you would have seen if you were there to witness it in person.
Every year, capturing the photographs and video you see on this site requires the endurance of tens of thousands of miles driven, dozens of all-night photo sessions, all sorts of rough weather and countless demanding hours of effort. The material on this site represents over 10 years of storm chasing in various parts of the county. But despite the many sleepless nights, unsuccessful trips and sometimes grueling conditions, documenting thunderstorms has been a passion that I long to continue every time the weather forecasts point to restless skies.
It is my hope that I can bring home just a taste of the awesome sights that I witness on the road during stormy days and nights in the Mountain State and across the country - and allow you to experience them as well.
But more importantly, it is my prayer that through these storms, I can introduce you to the only One that can change your eternity.
Yours in Christ,
Dan Robinson
