My first hurricane chase was Isabel in 2003. Over the following years, I covered multiple hurricanes and tropical storms, some in an official capacity as a contract cameraman for a national television network.
Covering Hurricane Rita in 2005Covering or chasing a hurricane is a marathon of discomfort, little sleep and complex logistics. There is a high risk for damage to camera equipment and your vehicle from wind, rainwater, debris and flooding. A hurricane chaser has to be completely self-sufficient for basic provisions like food, water, tools, fuel and first aid, all of which may not be available for days following landfall. Despite all of that, being inside of a major hurricane eyewall is one of the most incredible experiences I've had. Few other weather phenomena offer that kind of immersion in such raw natural power. I've also covered post-landfall tropical systems in the Midwest that have produced tornado outbreaks, flooding and wind damage despite being far inland. This page lists all of my hurricane, tropical storm and post-landfall tropical cyclone chases and photography trips.
