I have dozens of hours of storm chasing video footage to edit over the next couple of weeks. This moment captures the excitement, energy, and happiness I feel while out chasing storms. Successful chases involve planning, an understanding of weather and science, and a whole lot of luck. I was asked tonight by a guy from Elk City, Okla. if I was an “adrenaline junkie”. Perhaps a bit, but the awe, majesty, and sheer power of Mother Nature is what I find most inspiring. When my time comes and I’m at the Pearly Gates, I want to say “I experienced all I could experience, I used all the gifts you blessed upon me, and I did it with a whole lot of passion”.
