At 6pm today central time, myself, and Storm Chasers Michael McClellan and Andy Wehrle will be discussing our chase of the EF-4 tornado that hit Keota, Iowa on March 31st, 2023.
All three of us were fortunate enough to get video of the event.
Come join us and ask questions.

The Stabilized version of the EF4 is finished. I'm currently working on the extended version of the chase, including information about the rest of the day and where storms were located in relation to me. Keep an eye out for that.
Its still soaking in that I've exceeded my best possible dream for seeing a tornado in person.
I'm going to try to capture some of that feeling in my next video.

I have three videos coming up in the next week, if all goes well.
1) I'm using a Premiere Pro effect to "stabilize" the video. It looks like a rock video, because the frame jumps all over, but the image stays somewhat still. I want to give people something new to complain about.

2) I'm creating a longer version of my original video for people who want to see what happened with the rest of the chase, along with more information about the other tornadoes that were popping up around me (but not on top of me)

3) I'm working on organizing a YouTube Live conference between a few chasers who were out on March 31st, 2023, on what turned out to be a historic chase. If you shot video of a tornado that day and you're interested in being part of that discussion, reach out to me. I'm not posting anyone's video, but I will link to your channel.

Thanks to everyone who has been checking out my channel. Its been a truly interesting month for me.

My friend Jennifer busted her ass to get this film made, and it shows.
Eyes upon waking is about a woman who tried to commit suicide, and who is trying to find her way past what bought her to that moment. Please check it out.

This is easily the most exciting thing I've ever taken video of. Please check it out, comment, share it with any chasers that you know. Its a horribly shaky camera, but truly rare thing.
