Storm Chasers

#1 Postby Brett Adair » Sat Nov 06, 2004 8:19 pm

Okay guys....I am trying to build a list of guys that are storm chasers on this forum and get some locations. I plan on chasing this coming year all across the country and when I am in your neck of the woods maybe you would like to accompany me. :) Just a thought and if you have any wild chase stories or VIDEOS please share. Hopefully I can gain a few partners here since I normally have to chase alone and I don't like that at all.

Do you mean actual accredited ones? Or amateur ones as well?

Ah ok. Well, I am just one who stays around the area and within the counties that border Fairfax, so I don't go to far if I am chasing.

There is no such thing as an accredited chaser - all that's needed in order to be a chaser is a serious commitment towards driving after storms - whether you do it within your county, within your state, or all across the nation. Virtually all chasers are amateurs - while some chasers make money off their pictures or video none of them get paid for the specific act of chasing.

I chase about 10-15 times a year, mostly in the KS/OK/TX area. Some of my chase stories and pictures can be found here....

Brett, if you see a silver esculade out on the plains in the Spril and May months, you will see us. We take many people chasing for free because we love the company.
Maybe this season we all can get going, and chase together. If you don't have computers, and equiptment , I can let you borrow if you chase with us in your vehicle. I'll hook everything up, but thats a ways away, much mroe time to talk about it. Just you know, you have a fellow chaser team here.

Brett, if you're ever in Northern Kentucky, Southwest Ohio or Southeast Indiana, I'd be willing to give it a go with you.
