Day 2: Extremely close to a tornado

One of the most common questions people ask me when I tell them I chase storms is: “How close have you been to a tornado?”. Up until now, my answer has been “I have been underneath one“, but I think I need to update that answer after Saturday’s events. Day 2 was our first real...

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...

Day 3 – Tornado outbreak in Canadian, TX

This was the third day of chasing a Slight Risk-area with a 5% tornado risk (according to SPC). We targeted the Texas panhandle and quite early SPC issued a mesoscale discussion for the area.

The most exciting photo I have ever seen

Back in 2012 I was chasing with PDS Storm Tours and we were having a really slow week. We had pretty much called off the chase when the winds shifted on our last day and an opportunity appeared in Kansas on our way back to Oklahoma. I have put up the whole story here but...

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!

Five day tour with PDS Storm Tours

I have translated it as it was and left it with no major editing. This was my second trip and I didn’t know that much about storm chasing at the time. I...

Day 14 – A puny tornado

We went down to Texas our last day and I’m now on my way home from there. I will have about 2 hours sleep before I go to the airport and then back to Stockholm. We ended Day 13 at a gimmick Texas theme restaurant – The Great Texan. They had bull cojones (“mountain mushrooms”)...

Day 6 – Tornado

Yes, today we finally found a tornado – and what a tornado! Everything looked pretty good in the morning, the first storm we were going for to seemed to have all the attributes we want: a low wall cloud, strong rotation and large hail. We come out just in time to bring out our cameras....

I’m just about to leave our hotel in North Platte, Nebraska, so I do not have time to write or upload any photos. One thing is for sure though – the shit hit the fan yesterday and it was a fantastic day! It all started here with this photo. I will return with the rest...
