Video of the tornadoes near Canadian, TX, 2015

I went back to the videos I shot at the Canadian, TX, tornado outbreak last year. I did not really have a full look at them at the time and I never took the time to upload any videos to Youtube until now. As always, the footage is a bit shaky since I usually focus...

In-flight entertainment for a storm chaser

Today I was treated with not only one but two different types of “inflight entertainment” I really appreciated as a storm chaser. I am not talking about the tornadoes on Mars I saw in the movie “The Martian” on the flight but these two things: This first thing is something called a “glory” I learned...

Just when I open up the box of StormChasingUSA.com merch…

If this blog post would be a true click bait the title of this would be: “Just when I open the box the incredible thing happens”. It was really cool though. A couple of days ago I ordered some merch for StormChasingUSA.com: some t-shirts, business cards and a cap. I want to be able to...

Most amazing lightning storm I have ever seen

I shot this video back in June 2009, using the video on my pocket camera (thus the bad quality). Nonetheless, it is still the best lightning I have ever witnessed.

Supercell over Stockholm yesterday

This year has been quite eventful for Europe in terms of storms and supercells. After coming back from a rather dull weather experience in May I saw reports on Twitter of amazing supercells over western Europe with baseball sized hail etc. I really have no tools or knowledge on how to chase in Europe, and...

Twin Tornadoes of Nebraska the other day

You probably already heard of the twin tornadoes outside Pilger, Nebraska, that unfortunately proved to be devastating for this town. Despite being deadly and devastating they were also quite beautiful, this is one of the most spectacular videos I have seen (on YouTube) and I have seen tons!

Hail storm in Dubai

As I just mentioned in my previous post, I just came back from Dubai this Monday. I asked my friend in Dubai if they ever have any thunderstorms there. He mentioned that there were some occasionally.
