South Dakota Tornado Outbreak and Intercept

I never really thought that I would see a storm like I saw on Tuesday evening. Ever.  

On Tuesday, June 24, I watched the same storm produce tornado after tornado after tornado for more than an hour, with two or more tornadoes on the ground at the same time, THREE different times!  It was simply unbelievable. 

Touching the Sky

Becoming a storm chaser was the natural course for someone fascinated by severe weather and tornadoes since childhood.  My interest in storms developed during that time as a result of many days spent viewing dark, ominous Texas skies, and nights spent awake watching vivid lightning from the window of my room while thunder, hail and howling winds combined in a cacophony of incredible noise that shook our home.

The Spring 1995 storm season had been a long and unusual one for me. I began chasing in March for fun and photography. Then, in mid-April I began shooting on the sequel to Chasing the Wind.
