Many people take many different vacations.  Some go to the same beach or Lake every summer, some go to Europe one year, the Carribean the next year. Vacationers seek different things while they are away from home.  Peace, adventure, culture, experience are just a few key words.  I seek those same things, and is one of many reasons I enjoy Storm Chasing so much.  Storm Chasing doesn't take me overseas, or through super exotic locations, but it isn't your typical vacation  either.

Storm Chasing through Tornado Alley will takes Chasers through Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, Colorado, Nebraska, Missouri, Arkansas, and maybe even Illinios, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, and Kentucky.  Chasers will cover thousands of miles, typically between 8,000 and 12,000 miles in the span of four weeks.  That's between 2,000 miles and 3,000 per week, or 285 to 428 average miles per day.  In reality, daily driving can be upto 800 miles per day.

I have chased both with a partner and alone, and well, going alone is way too hard.  It's hard for two people
to do is as well, but one person on the road, taking all the responsibilities is just simply too much for any one person.  Now, with the Weathervine team, we've typically have 3 or 4 people in a vehicle and sometimes chase with multiple vehicles (called caravaning). I have created the Storm Chase Partner Page to provide valiable information, see who I've chased with, and tell everyone a little about Storm Chase partners.  I have chased since 1997, and plan to return every spring in with the Weathervine group out of Southern Florida.

This page in the future will be used to introduce visitor to Severe Weather and specifically Storm Chasing.  The links on the left will quide you through the pages, yet not all of them are complete and will be added in the future.  Thank you and enjoy--jsf.
