Storms of the Great Plains
The Great Plains of the United States (and the southern Prairies of Canada) are home to more tornado-producing supercells than anywhere else in the world. Over two trips in 2017 and 2018, I chased storms through Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and New Mexico with storm-chaser Mike Olbinski who got me to the storms and, more importantly, kept me safe. In July, the storm season moves into Canada and I caught one more storm in Manitoba in the summer of 2017, which I chased on my own. There is nothing quite as awesome as standing under a beautifully-structured supercell in the wide-open spaces of the Great Plains, which is why I will be chasing again in 2023.
I created time lapse videos for both my 2017 and 2018 trips. If you’d like to see them, you can find the 2017 video and 2018 video on my YouTube channel.
