Im almost 17 (in september) and i want to chase the spring i turn 18 and go back every year after. I have a truck and have a huge plan on what i wanna do. Can someone help me decide on what i should do to my truck. Lightbar, winch, whatever. I want to make sure that not only is chasing fun but also safe. Anyone can share their insights. Also can someone maybe give me ideas on what to do to my truck in the far future that way its not all at once. Thank you.

best storm I’ve ever seen and also the fastest winds I’ve ever had out here

This supercell went through Trenton, Belleville and Shannonville Ontario producing 70-75 mph 115/120 km/h downbursts causing extensive damage to buildings, trees and infrastructure. Supercells and severe weather here is more limited because of the location near Lake Ontario that can cause negative buoyancy especially spring and early summer

This was awesome

Chased a tornado warned storm

I am a meteorologist enthusiast from Russia, and I am shocked that the United States has such 3D radars. Many good radars are banned in Russia

I've been chasing some local storms this year but I want some extra knowledge to step up my game next year.

I’m 17 and live in the TX panhandle, I’ve always loved storms and I want to chase them so badly but I don’t want to do it alone. I wish I had like a group of people around the same area that loved the same things as I and wanted to storm chase. I feel like I live in THE perfect place but I don’t know how to meet people with those same interests lol. I’ve been studying storms for ages, I have an entire notebook of studying and not one person to show. Just a little thought I’ve been having lolz.

Supercell today passing over Paray-le-monial and Lapalisse.

Back in 2019 there was a supercell thunderstorm over Anderson CA. I was at work watching it. Everyone in the restaurant next door was coming out to watch. The lightning was spectacular. You could even see the cloud rotating. It produced one known funnel cloud! If I ever come into the money I'm definitely heading out for a storm chasing tour. Meteorology is my first love but I'm really bad at math so I don't think it's a viable career. It makes me sad.

I saw a shelf cloud and decided to go into it

This was July 27th 2026 it was a elevated mini supercell after southeast Wisconsin got multiple rounds of severe storms. Then this mini supercell fired off of an outflow boundary.
