Pond Creek, OK, 8/19/09
We tried to squeeze one more chase out of the 2009 season. Although it was pretty much a bust, we did get to experience the small town of Pond Creek. Yes, it's a real town. (4 photographs)

Chase in N.W. Oklahoma, 6/9/09
Our chase began in Harper, Kansas. But the target area moved south and we were actually able to say, "it looks to hit Wakita head on." We chased the storm system from Wakita back towards Tulsa. (10 photographs)

Chase in N.E. Oklahoma, 5/8/09
The conditions weren't what I'd call perfect for chasing storms, but we went out anyway. We did find a couple cells to sit on for a while, but the highlight of the day was Dinks BBQ in Bartlesville. Food was great and they have the coldest beer in Oklahoma! (9 photographs)

Chase in W. Oklahoma (Day 2), 4/26/09
The forecasts were still great for the second day, but the storms just didn't really produce. We did find a couple of storms that gave us reason for concern in the Woodward area. (8 photographs)

Chase in W. Oklahoma (Day 1), 4/25/09
The forecasts were perfect for a 2 day trip to western Oklahoma. On the first day, we found ourselves chasing massive wall clouds in Greer and Washita counties. (15 photographs)

Storms in N. Oklahoma, 4/9/09
Although everything looked promising, it ended up being a bust run. We did find a developing storm in N. Oklahoma that was interesting. (14 photographs)

Storm Chase in N. Oklahoma & S. Kansas, 3/23/09

Storm Chase in SE Oklahoma, 5/7/08
Initially, this chase started out as a "bust." But, as you can see by the photographs, it was anything but. (12 photographs)

Chasing Storms in 2007
Schedule and health prevented me from chasing much in 2007, but I did get a few photographs of the storms I did chase. The last 4 photographs were from a storm cell I chased to the Missouri line on October 17th. Later that day this storm system produced tornadoes just outside of Springfield. (9 photographs)

Auto Accident, 2007
I stopped to shoot this auto accident, mainly to test my new camera. The occupants had to be cut out of the black car by rescue workers and were transported to the hospital in critical condition. (10 photographs)

Ouachita Mountains, 2007
These photographs were taken in the Ouachita Mountains in Oklahoma while chasing a storm that (after a few hundred miles of driving) became a non-event. However, I did enjoy traveling the winding roads through the mountains. (10 photographs)

Storms North of Tulsa, 2006
I began chasing storms again in 2006. These photographs were taken while chasing a storm into northern Tulsa County. The lightening video captures were shot earlier in the week on April 24th, I had ended up in Rogers County to witness a great show of lightening -- and 70 mph winds. (14 photographs)

Tulsa County Zoo, 2006
Over 100 degrees at the Tulsa County Zoo that day, as you can tell by the bear with his butt up against the cool concrete. We didn't' stay too long, but I did snap a few photographs before we melted. (8 photographs)

Coffeyville, Kansas, 2005
I actually went to Coffeyville to visit the childhood home of my mother. While there, I found some very interesting things to photograph, including some old architecture, the Condon Bank (the last bank robbery of the Dalton Boys) and the alley where most of the Dalton gang were killed. (21 photographs)

Newkirk, OK Storms, 2/27/11
It was early in the season, but this chase is proof that severe weather can happen anytime. The Newkirk storm eventually developed into a tornado touching down in Southern Kansas.

Yazoo City, MS Storm Damage, 4/24/10
After several hundred miles of driving, we ended up in Yazoo City, Mississippi. Little did we know that we had positioned ourselves directly in the path of a deadly EF4 tornado.

We shot this video after the tornado had touched down in Yazoo City, showing some of the damage.

Storms, 3/23/09
Yes, it's early in the season, but you have to take what you can get. Storms were developing and we were there. The highlight of the day, besides the burger, was chasing a storm cell than landed us in Cowley County Kansas. Yep, right under the rotation. (15:47)
