Thanks for visiting! I'm a year-round storm chaser & weather photographer covering St. Louis, the Midwest, the Great Plains and beyond. I've spent weeks on the road for the last 31 years covering all types of extreme weather. My goal is to capture nature's dramatic side, and in doing so, provide visitors to this site with educational information and exciting photography/video about severe storms and extreme weather. I specialize in capturing imagery and video of tornadoes, lightning, St. Louis, MO and the Gateway Arch, storms and all types of extreme weather. I also sell fine art prints of my work via my photo gallery.

30 Years of Storm Chasing & Photography: 1993-2023
As covered in my last post, the system that just made its way through the central US had great wind profiles for tornadoes, but was very lacking in enough moisture for the main Great Plains component of the event on Sunday. Another trough is shown following by this weekend by most all medium-range models and model ensemble members.
