I recently got a GoPro Mission 1 Pro ILS (a micro 4/3 camera) as a main cam for chase footage/photos. I started off with a 25mm and 60mm and after a trial run with the storms in DFW this evening I definitely think I need a much wider lens that has better focus, any recs?

Typhoon-9 intercepted the wedge/multi-vortex just south of Allendale SC as part of a 2 day chase across the Carolinas.

I’m Rick, an Iowa City–area documentary filmmaker behind Cactus Rose Media. I’m interested in connecting with experienced Iowa storm chasers and learning about the people behind the forecasts and footage—the preparation, decision-making, and reasons you keep going out. I’d love to start with a conversation and explore whether there’s a documentary story we could develop together. Any Iowa chasers or groups you recommend getting to know?

Anyone up for this hurricane down south ?

I don’t know if this is the right sub for this but whatever. I’m a senior in high school and I plan to major in meteorology. Whatever I end up doing with my life, I want to chase storms more than anything. However, it seems that this desire is shared by so many people to the point that it is becoming a safety hazard. My question I guess is this: what do I need to do to not just be another car blocking the storm? As it stands I’m yet to chase just out of fear of being nothing more than a roadblock but I hope for that to change soon. Also I live in Florida so there’s not a lot of predictable, organized storms. I’m open to all advice or criticism.

Sunshine behind me, wall of darkness in front of me as I approached the Oklahoma border. (My car took some hail damage)

Can someone tell me how to show lightning strikes in STP?

THANK IN ADVANCE,!

How does the Outlook seem for the southern great plains this weekend? Sep26-28th

Hello! I would like to get a camera soon so I can photo Storm's and lightning(some at night) and from far away take photos of supercells. Does anyone have any good beginner recomendations thats not super pricey?

They launched this in the update today 9/21/26 for Apple CarPlay only for now. This is in my 2022 Honda Odyssey. It works great! Sorry for the poor quality video.

Hey stormchasers, how's this weekend (friday-sunday) looking for chasing in TX and the general area of states around dallas?

I can never get a straight answer on where to find good recources to predict or how to predict weather. Can i have some help?

I was curious to know if anyone would know who's chase rig this is? Looks neat, couldn't find anything on it.

Am currently fleeing human trafficking and had to stop to take a breather and take in this absolutely gorgeous cloud. I sat in peaceful silence for awhile, trying not to think about whether I'm gonna survive this fight. I wish I could harness the power in this cloud
