WHERE HURRICANES, TORNADOES, LIGHTNING, BLIZZARDS, AND FLOODS ARE NO MATCH!
Intercept in the Baja of Mexico isn’t for your average chaser.
August 31st, 2009 at 1:38 EDT

In just a few days I’ll be departing for an 11 day trip to Chile to take in some skiing and other adventures. I have never been to South American before and have no idea what (if any) access [...]

Found this excellent site that finally answers something I wanted to know

Unknown if I will be able to chase this tropical storm (Hurricane?).
August 25th, 2009 at 3:52pm EDT
Danny went from 92L to a Tropical Storm directly, skipping the Tropical Depression stage. This was in part due to the winds being high enough, but only was able to get the proper structure before it got it’s [...]

Was not paying attention, but still got out to see a good storm
August 21st, 2009 at 11:46pm
Above is one of the few shots that I was able to capture in a quick chase. Didn’t original plan to go out, and at first I was only going to stay local, take a snap shot or [...]

August 21st, 2009 at 5:39pm EDT
Just finished looking for cameras to rent (needed something better than the DV8), and will be getting a second call this evening or tomorrow morning to verify a) that I’m good to go, and b) [...]

While I like to reserve some possibility, Hurricane Bill likely no a thread to US coastline.
August 19, 2009 at 11:42pm EDT
While US landfall is not likely with the strong hurricane now only 315 miles northeast from the Leeward Islands and 880 miles south-southeast of Bermuda, the storm is likely to pose some thread of coastal [...]
