Masking Policy

This is why we’re maintaining masking protocols for external crowded spaces for the SGC tours. It’s not a guarantee of avoiding all infection risk, just reasonable mitigation of risks – which is in the spirit of how we manage storm chasing risks.

THE CHASE

Whether you know a lot about chasing severe storms or are just beginning to explore Mother Nature's fury, StormGroup Chasers will offer you a unique collaborative experience where the key words are communication, learning, photography and fun.

With access to all of the weather software and forecasting sites and models, you’ll be able to take part in the daily decision-making about chase targets, while learning about what drives severe storms, based on twenty years of chasing experience, severe storm forecasting and a life-time interest in the weather.

Each tour is ten days on the road using one chase vehicle, allowing flexibility of movement to make the best use of our chase days. With two drivers and four passengers, everyone has a window seat. While there is never any guarantee of tornadoes, StormGroup Chasers will chase all available storms for the best "severe storm experience".

While safety is paramount, being able to creatively photograph the experience is a primary objective. From the power and beauty of a tornado or supercell, to a striking cloud formation, or a beautiful sunset, or a scene encountered on route, each day will take into account our shared love of photography.

Please join us for a personalised and flexible approach to experiencing the annual drama on the Plains - a unique collaborative chasing opportunity

Lagniappe, that little something extra that life occasionally hands to us ... the greatest lagniappe is the new eyes with which I scan my Mississippi skies

Road-trip roulette aided by meteorology ... a constant sense of adventure and a giddiness to waking up each morning with no earthly idea where you might end up next

I had a blast joining Storm Group Chasers for the first time in 2019! Peter was an incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining guide. I learned a ton about weather systems and had a great time watching storms come together and take off.
