The 2013 chase season is here! I am hoping for a much better season than 2012, and with more resources available it should be. I plan to get back to the grind with more long chase-cations as opposed to weekend marathons. This page will be updated frequently with chase results, so check back often and thanks for stopping by!

May 31st – OK (Coming Soon!)
The day storm chasing would be forever changed as strong tornadoes claim some of our own. One of the most hectic chases of my life. Got caught in traffic jam due to local media starting a mass exodus. Nearly got hit by a tornado near the town of Tuttle.

June 12th – IL (Coming Soon!)
High risk in home territory yields dramatic storm structure and strong straight line winds.
