Storm Highway Extreme Weather Photo Gallery

Tornadoes are one of the most awe-inspiring yet destructive phenomena associated with severe thunderstorms. Every year, hundreds of storm chasers from around the world converge on the Great Plains, the region of the United States known as 'Tornado Alley', to hunt down and photograph this spectacular form of extreme weather. The following collection of photos and video were taken during my storm chasing expeditions to the Plains.
