Welcome!

What’s the most reliable lightning trigger that will catch me the branches of bolts everytime?

Can you do stormlapse on miops flex bolt or can you only do that on the smart+?

Im looking to upgrade

So I’ve been wanting to get a lightning trigger for my Lumix S5 and have done my research and it has told me that the Lightning trigger by stepping stones (380$) is the best one. Can anyone tell me if it is compatible with the Lumix S5? I tried reaching out to the company and I got no response yet.

Yo someone wants to join my roblox discord chasing team we play on a game called twister not twisted cuz my phone will explode its called vortex team

As stated in the title, I am trying to figure out what size memory card I should get for chasing.

I would be shooting video and timelapse (as well as just normal stills). I have a Nikon Z6 which I shoot in RAW and 4k30. Since there are some decent black Friday deals, I thought I would ask. Obviously the size needed would depend on the camera as well as shooting mode and settings but I am just wondering what you guys generally are rocking with.

Hello! I’m from Louisiana ! I do a lot of storm chasing in central Louisiana/ southeast Texas. Most of our tornadoes, if not all, that I’ve witnessed are rain wrapped. I’m thinking about taking a trip north to Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri next may to experience storm chasing up there… all the videos I’ve seen of storms are just so much more beautiful than the ones we have here in Louisiana. Any tips or information that anyone thinks i should know before heading north? Thanks in advance!

Hi !

I live in Europe and have been fascinated by US storms for a few years now. I've never been on an actual storm-chase (not a lot of severe weather where I live, although I have plans to finally try next season) but I know seeing US supercells is one thing I have to do before I die.

So I'm looking for advice on how to plan my trip ! What I should know, if I can start connecting with local storm chasers ahead of time, on how much chasing experience I may need before actually leaving.

I'm planning to go in about three to five years (the time it will probably take me to save up for the flights lol) so I have a bunch of time, but since it will probably be the only big trip I take in my whole life I want to be well prepared on what to look out for.

I work in film for a living, so the idea is also to document my travels, to be able to interview chasers, local affected people, visit towns that were never rebuilt, and if I'm lucky maybe get the perspective of Native people on tornadoes. And of course get some footage of actual twisters.

How costly is accommodation when you're on the road going from place to place and booking last minute like that ? Do you know if car rental places have any special rules for foreigners ?

A friend of my mother's lives in Lincoln, NE and I was wondering if it could be a good home-base, being in tornado alley and all ?

Last question : do you guys recommend tornado tours ? Honestly I'd prefer to chase myself, with other amateurs (and a small, 3 person film crew) or people I meet along the way (I don't particularly like the idea of touristy chasing). But without any actual experience, I don't know how doable it is to just arrive and hop in a car after only seeing EU storms my whole life lol...

If you have any perspective at all (or have done a similar trip in the past) I'd love to chat.

Keep on chasing !!!!

Hi! Sorry if this is not the best place to ask this question.

But my car was damaged by hail a few months ago, and I actually like the look of it. But I don’t want the hail damaged spots to get rusty. Is there any way to protect the paint without fixing the dents?

I have chance to either go on a tour in late April to early May in OKC or Denver in early June. Which would you go with for a shot an epic tornado chase experience?

Hello, It’s always been a dream of mine to go storm chasing. I used to watch twister and the weather channel on repeat as a kid and just grew up being so fascinated with weather. I wanted to go to college to be a meteorologist and my life didn’t allow me to do that at the time of my college days.. over the past year, I’ve been doing a lot of research and educating myself on storm chasing. Safety, radar readings, tornados and the atmosphere, really just a lot of things. Some random and some definitely needed. Trying to prepare myself as much as possible before i just get out there!

My question today is, before starting this hobby/journey, i wanted to buy a radio to keep in touch with people on the road… I’ve don’t some research on this but very minimal so far but so many articles and websites have given me such different answers.

Which is the best kind of radio to use for storm chasing? Ham radio or CB radio ?

I’m looking to get a new chase vehicle that’s on the cheaper side, really the main things I’m looking for is a slightly bigger vehicle such as a truck or SUV, 4WD, something reliable, and hopefully something that can at least go 90 to get out of sketchy situations, I don’t plan on putting myself into bad spots but it’d be good to have a vehicle that can get me out of a pickle. I’ve looked at getting an XJ for a while now but the 4th Gen C/Ks and 1st Gen Silverados are newer to me.

And if y’all have any other vehicles recommendations that fit the criteria I’d love to hear from y’all. Thanks guys!

So I want to be a storm chaser and I’ve wanted to be one for a very long time. I just don’t know how to start or how long it would take to make actual money.

Any tips or tricks would be great.
