On a mission to find the Mother of all Mothership Supercells! We frequently chase around Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico during storm season. If a storm blows up, great! Although, just exploring and taking pictures is fun enough!
During a storm chase, we live tweet and post to Facebook!
Who knows what the next storm season will bring, so saddle-up buckaroos and let's ride!
