Well, the 2009 storm chase season has come and nearly gone...with a historically LOW number of storms to chase!
So, we have repeatedly postponed our trip due to the dismal forecasts. But it looks like change is in the winds finally, with a return to active weather starting in June.
So, we've packed up the gear and will be heading out!
I'll be posting photos on Facebook as time allows, and then will update this site once we return home.
I'm Dave Lewison, and I've been chasing
storms on the Great Plains every year
since 1997. However, my home has been
beautiful NY State for my whole life.
Currently, I live in Dutchess County NY,
nestled in the Mid-Hudson Valley.
Here's Chris Kridler & me posing on the county line of Chase, NE on
May 15, 1999. How appropriate!
During 1997 and 1998 I was a participant
in Cloud
9 Tours, a storm chase tour group owned by Charles Edwards.
Each year since1999, I've either chased solo with Chris
Kridler from Florida, or helped out
with Cloud 9 Tours.
