WelcomeHi all olds and news- I'm Kris & while weather fascinates me very much I unlike many of you here on the boards do not wish to chase any tornadoes. I have lived in areas hit by hurricanes and twisters.
I hope u enjoy it hereWelcome
Hi welcome I hope u like here lolGreetings all! I am a lightning photographer and researcher from the northern Illinois area.
In 2016 I started researching lightning as it brought back good memories from 2011 which I consider to be the high point in my life. Those who live in northern Illinois may remember an unusually active July and August in 2011 starting with a high-end derecho event and being followed by numerous severe thunderstorm and flash flood events. One of these events produced continuous anvil-crawler lightning for hours which included an unusually intense positive CG flash that terminated less than a mile from my location and flash-blinded me for over a half hour.
In 2018 I started capturing lightning in 240 frames per second which allows me to slow the video footage down and analyze lightning events in more detail. I post these videos to my YouTube channel named The Lightning Hunter.
Welcome to the storm website I hope u like it here I’m a high school too lolHello, my name is Jack, and I am a high school weather nerd/amature chaser. I am a senior, and am also a car guy as well as an enthusiast of analog television technology (NBTV).
I have done Some Chasing within the midwest, but this year I plan to go on a full fledged 10 day chasing trip this may after I graduate.

I plan to take either my '95 Chevy Suburban C1500 (350 v8, TH700R4) with 330k on it, or my '74 GMC C1500 (250 i6, 3spd Manual) with 440k on it.

Though the Suburban runs well, has A/C, an Overdrive, and a lot of power, I am leaning towards my beloved GMC due to the fact that it actually gets reasonable gas mileage (inline 6's are like that). Also I don't really have faith in my Suburbans 330k original automatic transmission.

On the other hand, the GMC may or may not have 100,000 more miles on it than the Suburban, a non overdrive manual transmission, and a completely worn out 250 I6.
The thing is, that I have the parts in order rectify most of these problems:
-I recently bought saginaw 3 speed overdrive transmission which is a direct replacement for mine.
-I have a new cylinder head and camshaft for the 250.
-I already daily drive the thing.
-It actually gets Decent gas mileage.
-And it's 8ft bed if perfect for a slide in camper (the savings on hotel rooms would more than pay for it).
I am hopping this thing up already for Hot Rod Power Tour in June of 2020, so I have a bit more faith in it.
Where in MN Jasmyn? I am from the Twin Cities area.Hi everyone my names Jasmyn and I'm from Lincoln Nebraska but currently attend school in Minnesota! For as long as I can remember I have always been fascinated by storms. I love the feeling of the cold front moving through and the patterns lightning makes in the sky. Growing up I always off and on wanted to be a storm chaser but never really thought itd actually happen. But i was watching youtube videos the other day and realized it can just be a hobby and then I started seriously looking into it and now, well, here i am! ☺
Moorhead! Right by Fargo ND!Where in MN Jasmyn? I attended the University of Minnesota and am from St. Paul.
There seem to be a couple of "mini tornado alleys" in Minnesota. Our prime season is June-August (once the snow melts...) The best area in MN is southern MN, along US 169, Mankato, St. Peter, New Ulm, etc... BUT, There also seems to be a second hotspot along the red river valley, moorhead up to Grand Forks area. Great chase country up there, as long as you have cell data. ( Verizon seems to be the best there I think.)Moorhead! Right by Fargo ND!
