It's one tough state to crack as a chaser.

Only a handful of tornadoes reach EF4 status or greater per year. Fewer last for 90 minutes.

When it comes to seeking tornadoes, it doesn't take much to mess up a setup.

It was our 8th day in a row of chasing. Not an amazing one, but we managed.

You can't make chasing all about tornadoes if you want to have a good time.

This is one of the reasons a chasecationer tends to like the smaller threat days best.

Extreme instability and a boundary combined to create a monster tornado that churned for well over an hour.

With more than 65 years of tornado records, we have a good idea of when activity is most and least…

There's no place like "home."

...Including the "busts."

If you storm chase, you're going to have days that don't work out as you hope they will.

Sometimes you don't need a long-lasting tornado to see a big show.
