DVD Intro

September 18, 2007 Blair, Nebraska Severe Wind Storm Another short segment of a local short duration wind event under/behind an un-warned gust front. 1 minute.
December 11, 2007 Mound City Missouri Ice Storm About 6 minutes from the devastating ice storm in and around northwest Missouri.

2009 Squaw Creek NWR 1 Million+ Snow Geese Migration Madness Insane Snow Geese migration spring 2009. This was simply amazing to see. 4 and a half minutes for this.
Various Close Lightning Strikes I started this dvd by going over 37 hours of tapes from 2006 - 2009(pretty depressing! lol). I thought I might as well grab some of the closer bolts and make a segment of those. About a minute and a half of tightly edited close lightning strikes...several very close.
May 13, 2009 Kirksville Missouri Tornado I blew this one for the most part. I record the approaching large tornado(when you could even see it) from a location about 100 feet south of the southern edge of where its damage track ended up. Had I stayed where I was, I'd have gotten crazy video. But I bailed south as it looked to stop moving left to right at the same time it completely vanished in the rain again. Also at this time I could begin to hear the tornado. With a highly limited escape route into the city of dense traffic lights and rush hour traffic, I had little choice but to go while I could. Wrapping rain curtains are hitting me as I leave and drop south 1/4 mile before having to turn east. Not the crazy video segment it really could have been but oh well, I'm here to try again. Around 5 minutes.
June 7, 2009 Oregon Missouri Monster Hailer Quite the monster hailer supercell this thing was. Hundreds of chasers in the area. Quite possibly the largest gathering of chasers to date I'd guess. I got some video of a tiny fraction of it, as I bailed to this supercell before most. The storm was dropping stones exceeding 5 inches in diameter. Thankfully none that big hit my car. They were quite sporadic when they were that big. You have to watch close to see these sporadic beast stones either hitting the pavement or landing in a yard. I was in a hurry to get ahead of the storm as I thought it was about to tornado. Had I known it would not, I'd have played back there in the hail and documented some of them. The structure back there was phenomenal. 5 minutes.
June 15, 2009 Hastings Nebraska Tornadic Supercell Interesting tornadic supercell this day in southern Nebraska. The storm sheds its meso well behind where it was going, leaving it there to form a large wedge or at least near wedge tornado. Too bad it does it where I'd just came from! I'm literally right ahead of the storm watching that thing happen way way west of where the storm was now. Interesting structure with this, but the views of the tornado suck thanks to driving and hills...and then the new core raining out my view west. 4 and a half minutes.
June 17, 2009 Aurora Nebraska Tornadic Supercell Going to be a bit unhappy with this one for a while. Paced the storm from initiation, then figuring as much trouble as it was having producing any tornadoes, and seeing a million chasers ahead of me, I opt to jump on down to I80 to blast east for structure. I'd gotten a bit behind playing with an occluded wrapped up intense deal over Grand Island...which was interesting. Given how the day worked 2 days prior, leaving an occluded area way west to produce a large tornado, I figured I'd keep this one honest as long as I could, then catch up with the storm to the east. Doubt I'd have bothered jumping down to I80 to fly east had I not done that. It just figures though, second I'm southeast of it on I80, past the only exit I never even saw, it drops the best tornado of the day(year?). Drops it right on the damn highway I was using. Could have been worse I guess, could have just not been there to see it at all. Still got some decent video from I80 not that crazy far away. Never had to move either lol. Just had to try and edit out semis. Interesting video from Grand Island too, and some before. 16 minutes for this whole segment.
June 21, 2009 Central Iowa Funnels and Tornadoes Pretty close funnel in central Iowa. 1 and a half minutes is all for it.
July 13, 2009 Kadoka SD to Valentine NE Supercell Take this storm out of the picture and it's extremely unlikely I'd have made any dvd at all. This is why I chase, it's these long lived beasts. It's just mind boggling to me you can have something become a supercell and then stay that way for hours on end, a good 6+ of them(hours) in this case I think. The storm fired off the Black Hills near Rapid City, then meandered all the way to south of Valentine....almost always right by a nice paved highway! At first it was a high based freak lightning producer. I tried to leave as much of it on there as I could, but really that part was probably an hour by itself. Just odd concentrated bolts zapping away in the same region on and on. Many are so fast and faint they are hard to notice. From the Badlands on it slowly grew into something out of this world....with raging inflow winds racing into it, kicking up the sand of the sandhills in the process. Again at Valentine it went nuts with lightning, which I tried to get some video of as I drove through and then again on the edge of town. The scrolling shutter of a cmos sensor tends to try to chop bolts, so some you just see the flash. With that many bolts though, plenty are captured as well. Once south of Valentine it stopped its southeast motion RIGHT on/west of the north-south highway. It pretty much could not have done this in a better spot, leaving the awe-inspiring view right there in your face as you looked up out of the car. This in a banded curling mess, as a east-west inflow cloud formed on the ground. The motion in the cloud tags making this up are crazy, as I begin to get dotted with hail on the edge of it. Just an amazing site sitting there letting that start to overtake you, until you can see clouds around you racing away from you, going west...with a arcing banded wall on the east side of the updraft to this supercell, right there above/nearly on you. Then I dropped south from there and it looks even more crazy, with that long inflow cloud essentially on the ground going west into this freaky spaceship. Soon well formed kelvin helmholtz waves are seen moving and changing fast on the edge of the storm. Inflow winds easily gusting over 50mph. Being out chasing and catching this storm really helped heal some chase wounds the last 4 years now. 36 minutes for this one.
August 9, 2009 Modale Iowa Morning Hail/Auburn NE to Rockport MO Wind Storm Just a fairly intense wind event at Rockport Missouri. I tossed it on there since I used part of it in the intro video. 2 minutes.
2008 - 2009 Various Still Photos - 5 minutes Probably about 100 stills to music.
