EXTREME CHASE TOURS 2012 TRAILER

Extreme Chase Tours Trailer for 2012. We had a wonderful season and are now booking for our 2013 chase season. Hurry and reserve your seat now!

April 14 tornado outbreak coverage

What a day to remember....I was lucky to help participate in the warning process with Jay Prater, CBM and the folks I used to work with at KAKE. No deaths....the entire KAKE team did a wonderful job and I am glad that Chad Berryhill Eric Duncan Jon Behle Brice K, Jared Cerullo and myself as well as others and I were able to help.

EXTREME CHASE TOURS SCHEDULE 2013

Well after much media interviews from live reports with Fox Business to many, many print, neswpapers and radio interviews, we had a strong interest to get our 2013 storm chasing tour schedule up and on the website. So, as of last night, I have posted the schedule and we already have had many people booking their seats! You can fnd the schedule onling at the link below:
I also plan on posting some video from some of the tours as a promotional trailer before we really get into the production work......very exciting times for ECT!
All of us at ECT would like to thank all of our guests for a great 2012 season and thank all of those who will be returning for the 2013 season! Right now we have only a few more tours and it looks like we will be playing north to see any real action to due this death ridge we will be under.
By the way, if you have ever been interested in going on a real storm chasing tour that is the most personal tour period, now is the time to book before all seats are filled up.
You can find more out on our website at:

La Crosse KS Tornado 5-25-12 Video

We have been so busy with the tours that I simply have not had time to update the blog with any news. From tornadoes in Kansas back on April 14, tornadoes in New Mexico to Tornadoes back in Kansas on 5-25-12.....we have been really busy!

Below is just a quick video of the tornado near La Crosse, KS from the 25Th that we intercepted and filmed. Eric did a wonderful job doing phoners with KAKE trying to help get the word out as I called DDC directly to let them know exactly what was going on. We were very worried that
La Crosse might take a direct hit...and they actually did from smaller EF-1 satellite tornado as can be seen in the graphic below:
When we first arrived on the south side of La Crosse, the police officer and county officials did not even know that there was indeed a tornado on the ground. They had heard about the tornado warning but "didn't really see any danger"....as we all know this can and does happen more than what the actual public knows. While I commend the local spotters for doing their job (after the fact) this video should be a clear testament to all local city and county officials as to what chasers can do in helping with the warning process.
I have taken much heat early this year from the situation that happened up in Dickinson County, I would encourage all those folks from Dickinson county and all the "media" that picked up the story to re-think the role that chasers can and do often play....even a those that run or own a storm chasing tour business. WE DO NOT MAKE A LIVING OFF OF THE DEMISE OF OTHERS....I certainly do not know one single chaser that makes an entire living off of weather as a whole to begin with. What we do is enjoy mother nature in all of her glory, good and bad. And when/if the time comes, we help where we can. Video below:
