Storm chasing forecast update for May 6: Trip 1 in progress
I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. This page is a detailed account of the biggest threat to my photography and video operation that I had to battle daily to just barely survive, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem facing all of my colleagues as well. |
The first Great Plains storm chase expedition of the 2015 spring season is under way! This system promises several good opportunities for tornadoes as good upper support from a western US trough overspreads instability in the Plains. This system has already brought photogenic tornadoes in Texas and Kansas yesterday and today.
I'm heading in a general westerly direction into Kansas, and will choose either I-35 southwest or I-70 west to target tomorrow's setup. Stay tuned for updates!
The following table charts the probability of a Great Plains storm chase expedition happening for several indicated date ranges in the near future:
