Back in the Day

[Shane Adams]

Stumbled upon this gem today. This video includes many living legends in chasing, including David Hoadley, Jim Leonard, Tim Marshall, and many more. A look back at what chasing used to be, back when storms were all that mattered. ST's own Tim Vasquez makes multiple appearances, as does Yours Truly, back when I was a rookie and knew virtually nothing or nobody...

well, at least we've made progress on one front--there are more women chasers...three more, i think.

Thanks!!

Thanks Shane for this..I enjoyed watching it. Were you the one shooting the video, and where did the cookout take place? I noticed the TV cameras, and I remember seeing a documentary back in the 90's or late 80's in which David Hoedley and Jim Leanard attended. They were at a get together like this and Jim was talking in an interview about having his arms on a barb wire fence and taking a hit from a lightning strike. As memory serves anyway. I wondered if this was the same get together?

Mike this was the 1997 Storm Track Picnic which was held at Bobby Prentice's home in Norman, OK. I do not know who the videographer was.

Nice video Shane. It's always good to look at those "storm chasing creators" all togther.
Sure this is one of my favourite oldies!
