Howdy stranger! Welcome
Thank you! Long time, no talk! I remember you from years ago. I haven't been around in ages due to life stuff, but then Twisters came out and my life got a heck of a lot better and I got back into storms. (Which never entirely left me.) I forgot all about Stormtrack, but I had no way of getting back into my old account. So I had to start over on here. Passwords are saved now lol.

Welcome Rachel.

If you message @Jeff Duda he might be able merge your old account with your new one so you can still have all old posts with your new account. It's worth a shot.

I honestly am alright with starting over. It was 10 years ago, and I didn't have much posted under that old account. Thank you though. :)

Thanks for the welcome. It’s nice to meet you!
 
Hello everybody! My name's Mark! I've been lurking on here for a couple years now, but I feel ready to dip my toes in a bit. I'm 29 years old and from the metro-Detroit area. I've been interested in severe weather since I was a kid. We had a pretty nasty storm come through when I was in elementary school, and it pretty well traumatized me. At some point I decided to learn as much as I could about severe weather to get over my fear, and I became borderline obsessive. I always wanted to go storm chasing, but had parents who knew better than to get directions to the nearest tornado from a 13 year old. Eventually grew up (at least in the eyes of the law) and I've been storm chasing casually for 3-4 years now.

I mainly backyard chase, the grid network in northern Indiana and Ohio is nice, and I've got interstates all the way home. If budget and PTO allows, I've been known to head over to the Mississippi Valley and the plains. I did a tour with College of DuPage a while back - I can't say enough about that program, it was wonderful. It's not a tour, it's a class, a huge learning opportunity. That said, it was certainly nice having someone else handling the logistics of a chase for once.

I'm a big back country nerd, love hiking and camping. I'm currently budgeting for a overlanding/chasing/full time residence van, probably a recent model Sprinter with 4WD. The dream is to live out of that full time. I'm full time remote, and can't remember the last time I needed something mailed to me. Way back in the day I served in an AmeriCorps funded Conservation Corp and spent an entire year either tent camping our living out of my Camry. I figure if I can live out of a tent and a Camry I can live out of a van, haha.

Happy to make y'alls acquaintances.
