Our new storm chasing tour schedule for 2011 is available at StormTours.com.
Several of the tours have already been reserved by a television production crew, but we have left the best weeks of the season (in our opinion) open and available for public bookings. The tours we have available for public booking include the last week of May through to mid-June. This is normally a big “transition” time in the Great Plains when the upper-jet begins a retreat to the north. While storms can still happen from South Texas to North Dakota during this time of year, what typically happens is the jet stream becomes more linear allowing for slower moving storms that are easier to chase.
We’re looking forward to making the 2011 season just as exciting as 2010!

Tsunami in Japan
As most know by now, I do a lot of volunteer work in the ocean activism community when I’m not storm chasing in Tornado Alley. I was in Otsuchi Japan (Iwate Prefecture) on March 11th, 2011 monitoring the slaughter of Dall’s porpoises for Ric O’Barry’s Save Japan Dolphins and standing just a few feet from the water on a man made pier in the middle of Otsuchi harbor when the M9.0 earthquake hit.
