Hello!
I'm glad to meet you all!
I am from Southern Wisconsin and I am a new (amateur) storm chaser! I've dreamed of becoming one since I was a child and I finally have the ability to do it, so here I am!
Just 2 things from me...
1. Any Fellow chasers who chase within 100 miles of Monroe Wi... If you're looking for a chase partner... Im asking for those with a home base near here, I am willing to travel farther for a good chase! But I am hoping to connect with some other local chasers (For experience and partnership, as a lot of the guides do say not to chase alone!)
2. Tell me what you personally use for chasing! I'm talking gear, guides (Apps/weather maps), even down to the vehicle you choose and why!
I have a Kia Soul currently, but am planning on 'downgrading' to a different (not my daily driver) vehicle over this summer. I just got myself a nice little 4k camcorder (Rawiemy HD 4K 48MP) and dash mount and am prepping my "go bag" for when I need to hop in the car and chase down a storm
I plan to keep a first aid kit, one change of clothes, a neon sweatshirt (for visibility), and probably some spare camera gear (tripods, extra batteries and the like!) I've also been using RadarOmega & RadarScope along side Accuweather for radars
I'm doing as much research as I can so when the next set of storms pops up in the area, I am ready!!!
Thanks for reading, and extra thanks for any replies!
