After chasing this storm for over 125 miles, it finally started taking shape over the town of Hasty, Colorado. Mesmerized by the massive size, the phenomenal coloring, and the recently applied tornado warning, I drove further into the core of the storm. The winds inside the core were ferocious and nearly tipped several semi trucks in front of my vehicle. Using my car to block the inflow jet of wind, I took cover and as many pictures as I could before the hail arrive. Crouched beside my car, the first hail stone sounded like a gunshot as it slammed into the passenger side of my car. I jumped into my vehicle and began rushing east to evade the barrage. Through broken radio transmissions, my chase partner was able to understand two words: Get East!
Storm Stories is a project with no set end. Continuing indefinitely, after each year of storm chasing, I will continue with a new collection or "Chapter" of Storm Stories. Each season is a new adventure, each storm chase is a unique experience, and no storm is ever the same.
Prologue: This initial collection encompasses many chases, stories, and photos from before and including the 2021 storm chase season. These photos and stories include my first storm chase, my first tornado, failed chases, successful chases, the mental stresses of chasing life, and finding moments that have deep personal meanings and value. Like many storm chasers say, chasing is just a hobby, it is a passion and a calling.
