Storm Chaser List

[Andrew Revering]

All updated up to this point. Thanks for all the adds/updates guys.

I think at some point I will make the site more interactive, and perhaps let you add more information such as; year you started chasing, if you want to be contacted by the media and some info like that.

It'd be cool if there was an easy way to keep such a list current, as in no stupid links to web server ads etc. (doesn't mean I'd want to do it!) I started just clicking on names I hadn't heard before, or at least not have seen them have a site, and like the first 5 I did there was nothing about chasing on. One was a server add for the original twister sisters page. Another some sports forum. And another pagan stuff. The other was folders on a server you couldn't even look at. lol just did another and it had a chase accounts section. Went in there and just 2 from 2002, no pictures for the 2. I'm finding it hard to find chase stuff on any of the names I'd never seen. LOL it's getting kind of funny just how hard it is. Tried another, no page there. Granted I've at least seen/heard the names of most on there so it's hard to find the ones I hadn't. But when I do, I'm having pretty much no luck finding chase stuff and mostly no stuff.

Anyway, I can't even keep up with my smallish list of chaser pages. I don't envy having a list like you now have. I do think they are somewhat useless to people if they are full of crap or not even a web page at the url. But I guess yours has so many chaser pages that actually are there, just sucks for those that had seen most and when you click on unknown names there's nothing there.

Holy crap I did it again clicking a name I didn't know. Server ad. I think I'm batting a thousand now doing that. lol and again, but this time I clicked an old name I hadn't heard in a while, Robert Lattery. Gone.

Again, I don't envy the task at hand you have there. Chasers change their site each sunrise it seems. Not sure what is more common, one changing their site, or one just not keeping a site. I do know what is most rare, a chaser updating it with any content. A solid list of those would be sweet imo. The rest is largely a waste of time clicking a billion links. Much like my own links section now admittedly.

I agree most chasers are horrible about upkeep. However if the most recent year's activity is on there, that's good enough for me. I don't expect a chaser website to be updated during the off-season, but the ones who only go to 2005 or 2002 or 2007, it's pretty much a certainty the site has been given up on. Especially nowadays with blogging and tweeting so popular, seems more and more difficult to find a chaser website that actually is, and is updated.

Mine is updated through this year, but I've yet to build the link page...so I guess I should practice what I preach and get to work haha.

I actually fear all those submitting blog pages hosted at blogspot or something like that... I know from the changes people send me that these will not last...they will buy a "tornadochaser" dot com domain and then the other stuff is broken link. I don't get why people can't stick to their domain, or at least start with a domain instead of some free site.

Your links out on the web are what get you your traffic. If you don't stick with it and change a lot you will never get the traffic you want.

What's funny is I had domain issues for years (thanks mostly to the idiots at Network Solutions) and my domain changed from .com to .net to .us in the span of three years. I made frequent posts everywhere about the domain updates, and found that 99% of people never bothered to change them. I got lucky in 2008 and finally found my original domain name available again, and snatched it up for a decade. Now all the links people never changed work again

Blogger recently started sucking for me, otherwise I wouldn't have had to move mine. Sorry for your hassle.

You can have domains redirect to free sites, of course -- that's essentially what most of my domains do. I pick blogger because I occasionally end up on Digg/reddit/Fark/BoingBoing and they're capable of handling massive influxes of traffic that crash most other services. Nothing sucks more than finally getting an aggregator to pick you up and for your webhost to yank your site down because it is using too many resources on a shared server.

My link has changed and should be up for a long while now:

It is now www.skiesoftheplains.com

 

[Tarmo Tanilsoo]

I have set up a new page, solely dedicated for chasing activities, separate from local weather obs(which had short URL change too), and short URL for it is http://stormchase.tarmotanilsoo.com . Now trying to finally finish that 19 July event log.

 

[Greg McLaughlin]

www.stormguy.com is the link for myself and Justin Teague. WxStream is no longer in use.
