2019 Storm Chasing Tours Extreme Chase Tours

 If you have ever had an interest in going on an extreme vacation, why not go on one of our 2019 storm chasing tours?

Our Storm Chasing Tours are 6 to 10 days in length and we have a 90% tornado success rate. We also offer Severe Weather Photography Tours and we were the first to offer these types of tours in 1999. The Extreme Chase Tours team are highly experienced decorated meteorologists and real storm chasers who are truly severe weather experts. This experience and the intimate personal one on one attention that we give to each one of our storm chasing tours guests is what sets us apart from ALL other storm chasing tour companies. We pride ourselves on being THE MOST PERSONAL and THE MOST AFFORDABLE in the industry. You simply won't find another Tornado Tours company that offers our intimate and personal setting during your storm chasing vacation! ​Owner, Lanny Dean, started the very first personal Storm Chasing Vacations company in 1999 with a true belief that quality was much better than quantity. That motto has become our mission statement, and it's still how we run our Storm Chasing Tours to this day. 

We now have just a few limited open seats available for the 2019 season. If you are interested in going on the vacation of a lifetime, please check out our website extremechasetours.com for more information and storm chasing tour dates.

Storm Chasing Tours: Extreme Chase Tours Mayhem 4 Tour Open Seats

As of 10/13/2018 due to a reschedule, we now have 2 seats available on our Mayhem 4 Tour 2019.
Our Mayhem 4 Tour is by far our most popular Storm Chasing Tour and provides our guests a variety of different severe weather and tornadoes. Roughly 80% of the 533 tornadoes I have documented over the last 28 years have come during this time frame! Hence why it is our most popular tour and why both seats will sell quickly.

A little bit about us for those that don't know....I started Extreme Chase Tours back in 1999 part time and finally went full time season in 2007/2008 with such demand.

Now we have guests that fly in from all over the world to witness Mother Nature do her thing and produce severe weather and tornadoes.

We were the first storm chasing tour company to offer personal one on one storm chasing vacations and tornado tours, not to mention, photography tours in the later part of the season,
and after 28 years of helping others live their dream of witnessing tornadoes and monster supercells and severe weather, we have still hold on to the core belief that we started with.

Unlike most other tour companies, we truly spend one on one time with each one of our guests - this is why we have a 77% guest return rate and a 90% tornado success rate. Our storm chasing adventure tours are different from any other tour company. From the first contact with us to long after your tour is over - we continue to educate and help you and we've made many, many life long friends from the tours. And we hope you will join us!

If you are interesting in going on a storm chasing vacation with the most affordable and most personal for the experience of a lifetime, we'd love to have you with us in 2019!

Please fee to contact us via email or even directly @ 918-859-0248 We are always here for you to answer questions or any concerns that you might have. Check out the link to our website directly below for additional information.

Extreme Chase Tours Storm Chasing Tours Website

Been a little while since I have posted due to finishing up the 2018 storm chasing tours. Now on to the 2019 Storm Chasing Tours!

I have made a few changes to the website recently, changing some backend things and trying to “clean it up” up a little. Even that has proven difficult due to the ongoing weather we have had locally    Such as the Diggins, MO tornado which I documented and all the rain and severe weather.

That said, currently we have some very limited seating on many of our Storm Chasing Vacations Tours. And is usual, it looks as though Extreme Chase Tours will book all seats full soon. So if you are intersted in going on the most affordable Storm Chasing Tour and personal Tornado Tour in Tornado Alley, now is THE TIME TO RESERVE your seats.  I have posted a short video below of just a few of our guests from this season and just a few tornadoes and awe inspiring storm structure shots that we documented. It was a wonderful year and I’d like to personally that all of our tour guests for choosing us to make their storm chasing dreams come true. Some folks had never seen a tonado or even a real severe storm or supercell. To see their eyes light up and smiles on their faces was truly why I do what I do. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

As we now focus on getting back to our real jobs and real lives - some of us like me, are still immersed in the weather. For example, I shoot and report weather for some of the major networks. And as such, I am keeping my eye on the current situation with hurricane Lane which is now a CAT5 hurricane with sustained winds at around 160+ mph!

Yes this year has indeed been a strange year...we didn’t get the kind of numbers of tornadoes that we usually get in the continual US but we (Extreme Chase Tours) managed to see a tornado on every tour we had. Which is something I am proud of. But I wonder what this hurricane season into the fall and finally the winter season will bring? Questions to be seen for sure.

As far as 2019, the ossicaltions seem on par with having a decent year but Ma Nature plays by her own rules so who knows. What I do know is that we WILL be storm chasing and trying to document tornadoes for our guests no matter what.

We’d love to have you join us for one of our 2019 Storm Chasing Tours & Tornado Tours, so if you are intersted, please feel free to check out our website @ www.extremechasetours.com
Or feel free to give me a call & 918-859-0248. I am ALWAYS available to you either via email or directly by phone as well.

A small sample of just some of the video we shot this season below. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks so much -Lanny

Haven't had a chance to make a blog post in a while, but I thought I would let everyone know that Extreme Chase Tours storm chasing tours and tornado tours are filling up fast! In fact, we just booked a couple from the UK this week and another couple from Australia today, and we booked a young lady from Australia last week as well.

If you have never been on a storm chasing tour or never heard about them, let me explain a little.....

It's like going on a religious journey almost as you witness some of the best and worst weather that Ma Nature can dish out. It truly is an addiction that once you get, you simply can't get enough of!

As a 26 year storm chasing veteran, I have seen my fair share of tornadoes - 516 to be exact. But I still get giddy at the thought of severe weather and tornadoes and actually showing/educating those folks who go on a storm chasing tour or vacation with us.

When I started Extreme Chase Tours back in 1998/1999, I had one goal in mind and that was to share my passion and experience with our guests and customers on a one on one level. I wanted to share with them what I was feeling and seeing when I witnessed a tornado or a monster supercell or giant hail.

I have never been one to believe in quantity over quality and that's exactly what you WONT GET with Extreme Chase Tours. We have set our business foundation on Quality VS Quantity - meaning we truly spend more one on one time with each one of our tornado tours customers than any other company in the industry. That's just who we are. Weather isn't just our passion, it is out life and that's exactly what you'll get if you choose to go with Extreme Chase Tours on a storm chasing vacation.

At this point we have booked our Mayhem 4 Tour full and we only have one seat left open on our Mayhem 3 Tour, with limited seating on all other tours. As is usual, we will book all of our storm chasing tours full very soon. So if you are interested in going on the most personal vacation of a lifetime why not try going  Storm Chasing? We have the experience, education, safety record, and above all else we have fun and teach you weather one on one while getting some wonderful video of tornadoes and supercells. Come join us for one of our 2018 Tornado Tour Vacations and get ready for the adventure of  lifetime! Watch our Extreme Chase Tours Teaser  below for a taste of what going ona real personal storm chasing tour vacation is like! You can also feel free to check out our website at extremechasetours.com for more info and or to book a tour.

Where To Find Cheap Vacation Packages?

Where To Find Cheap Vacation Packages? 

Well that is certainly a fair question, especially with gas prices on the rise again and less people traveling or going on road trips for their yearly vacations.
So as a Tour owner myself, I thought I would write my next blog post about cheap vacations and where to find them. But there is a short list that you should probably go over before you make any decision as to the word "cheap".

1. Where do you want to go to vacation?
2. What kind of vacation are you looking at? Surfing, Going to Grandma's house? Going to Vegas? Going to the mountains for the family getaway?
3. And finally, what does "cheap" mean to you? As in how much are you willing to spend on this vacation?

Those three questions are wonderful starting points - they will help you outline the where, when, why, and how much. And most importantly, they will help you decide what "cheap" really means to you and what you can afford.

If you are at all interested in weather, tornadoes and everything Mother Nature has to offer, have you ever thought of taking a Storm Chasing Vacation? No, I'm not talking about the type of storm chasing vacation that has 2-3 vans crammed full of people and they herd you around like cattle. I am referring to a smaller type. The kind that allows no more than 4 people per vehicle and one where everyone will have a window seat. The kind of storm chasing tour vacation that does allow minors age 12 and up to go (as long as they are accompanied by a parent or adult).

Yes, that's the kind I am talking about in the picture above - a true family vacation with a personal touch!

As a small business owner of Extreme Chase Tours we offer these smaller type tours that are the most personal and, as you are looking for, Cheap. In fact, we are the cheapest Storm Chasing Tours company in the industry. Period. Not trying to toot our own horn or anything, but do your homework and you will see for yourself.

So if you are looking at where to book vacation packages, that are cheap, feel free to check out going on a Storm Chasing Vacation. You will no doubt make some wonderful lifelong memories but you will go home with some awesome crazy picture and videos like the one below:

         

And that's just the start! So when thinking and planning for 2018s vacation, Check us out and let us know if you are interested. All information and pricing is listed on the website as well as our tour dates. But you must reserve your seats as early as possible because we do book full very early every for the following year. How about giving a Storm Chasing Tour Vacation a try - it's an adventure of a lifetime!

It's that time of the year again - where folks are looking for a vacation to go on. Have you ever thought about going on a Tornado & Storm Chasing Tour Vacation? With a real chance to witness a tornado and severe weather with a 26 year storm chasing veteran? If not, you should! It will be the most exhilarating time of your life. Watch one of our Storm Chasing Tours trailers below and then check out our website @ www.extremechasetours.com for more information about our 2018 Storm Tour dates and schedule.

"The Lanny Dean Experience" Storm Chasing Tours USA

Some folks have wondered and questioned, "what's it like chasing with Lanny Dean and Extreme Chase Tours?" As a Storm Chasing Tour owner, I get that very question on  a regular basis. The answer is always very hard to explain....I usually tell them that they just need to be there to really understand what it's like. Not the best answer in the world but one of my past Tour guests and owner of Storm Chasing USA has written a blog that sums up the feeling I have when I am showing my chase tour guests what the weather is doing and basically what it's like when we are on a storm chasing and tornado tour. His link is below but I also thought I would show his picture as well as the blog post he wrote as well below.

The Lanny Dean experience

May 12, 2016 / By Christoffer

I have chased with many different tour guides now and they all have had different personalities and guiding styles. We have the calm and informative style of Charles Edwards and Brian Morganti or the friendly and dedicated style of Gene Robertson and Allan Dietrich. They were all excellent tour guides but I really loved chasing with Lanny Dean.
People sometimes ask me what I find so interesting about storms. I am always a bit surprised by the question, like “How can you not be fascinated by tornadoes?!”. I guess everyone would find a full contrast, destructive tornado fascinating but we all know storm chasing is not like that every day. What makes every day special is the build up, the growing excitement, the let-downs and surprises, and the clues the storms gives you it might produce something spectacular.
That is why you can look at dark coloured, condensed water in the sky for hours – with an adrenalin rush. Often, you have no idea what you are looking at, what might happen or if you have any reasons to be excited – and that is what Lanny Dean brings to the storms. He has seen some 300-400 tornadoes I think but is still over excited about inflow, possible funnel clouds and wall clouds and he really brought that passion (and knowledge) to us guests.
Below is a video I just put up on Youtube that was filmed on our only real chase day of the unlucky tour of May 2014. We saw an anti-cyclonic land spout tornado that day (not in the video) but nothing else really, it still was a spectacular day thanks to the excitement and passion brought by Lanny.

If you think you might be interested in going on a personal and private Storm Chasing Tour/Tornado Tour, check out the website and shoot me an email for more info. Thanks for taking time to read!

Haven't really been on the blog lately but since our storm tour season is over I thought I would mention that I have kind of given the website a little bit of an overdue facelift.

But if you are interested storm chasing tours, tornadoes, severe weather and basic weather photography, feel free to check out the new facelift.

Mulvane, Kansas tornado 10 years ago today....

 

10 years ago today, I documented one of the most photogenic tornadoes to date, the infamous Mulvane, Kansas tornado from very close range. 

 

This tornado was rated as an F-3 tornado and caused significant damage to a few homes along/east of HWY 15 in Mulvane. We were able to document this tornado from very close range as it hit a home and lofted debris thousands of feet into the air. Video link below:
