This tornado was truly a once in a lifetime event. I have seen many tornadoes during my 20 years of chasing. This one topped them all from my perspective as a photographer and videographer. It moved slowly through the fields for over 30 minutes, well lit by the sun, with a rainbow that persisted for quite some time. It was surreal, almost as if the tornado was ingesting the rainbow. I couldn't believe what was unfolding before me. The perfect storm. All those years on the road chasing storms led me to this very special, rare moment. Video Resolution: 1920 x 1080. Video Length: 17 seconds.

This is my first limited release of a "Super Rare Tornado Video". Below is information regarding what these limited release NFTs are about.

1 - Within each collection I release, I will only include one tornado video NFT. Separate, original 1/1 tornado video clips released on Foundation, or other such platforms, will be listed at a higher price than the video released within a collection. So, purchasing a video NFT from the collection will be the best deal possible for the collector.

2 - Supercells are the rarest form of a thunderstorm and only develop where atmospheric conditions come together just right. Only about 20% of Supercells end up producing tornadoes, most of which are not visually interesting. Supercells and tornadoes do not form in most places around the World. As a result of specific land features and the way in which spring air masses collide in the “Tornado Alley” region of the United States, this area is most favorable for these types of rare storms. And yet, each year there are only a handful of photogenic tornadoes that occur, if that. In addition, most tornadoes last less than 2 minutes. The odds of capturing high quality video of a photogenic tornado are very slim. It requires not only skill with the camera, but also skill in targeting, interpreting data, reading the sky, and understanding the storm. Storm chasing truly is an art within itself.

I was born gazing into the hypnotic sky with a camera in my hands, ready to capture powerful art that only Mother Nature is capable of conjuring. This is a collection of 12 unique 1/1 Photography NFTs and 1 super rare 1/1 video NFT, representing the past 20 years chasing my dreams through tornado alley in search of those extremely scarce moments when all the elements come together to create the perfect storm.
