USA Storm Chase 2018
(Click on thumbnails to view images)
This was my second trip with the Netweather Team and I decided to go with two back-to-back tours to increase my chances of seeing a tornado after missing out in 2016.
2018 was another slow severe weather season in the US, with events widely scattered and difficult to forecast. Most chasers struggled this year, but as usual Paul Botten and the Netweather team got us some amazing storm action. As you will see, we saw a huge number of impressive supercells, damaging hail, several tornadoes, and I met a great new bunch of people too!
