About Me

NEWS:New up-close tornado video from 5/23/08 in NW KS!!6/5/08: A high risk day that we didn't really want to chase, but did anyways, resulting in tornadic storms that were very HP, no tornadoes, but had very photogenic shelf clouds.6/4/08: Once again, multiple target day and we choose the "less favorable" target and it pays off with a cyclic supercell producing at least 3 tornadoes near dusk in SW IA.6/3/08: We intercept a tornado-warned storm that displays amazing structure, and a memorable lightning show for hours on end.5/29/08: We target NC KS trying to stay away from the chaser crowds, and it pays off big time with TornadoPalooza 08' and probably one of the best supercells ever witnessed structure-wise, and tornadoes in every shape/form for nearly 4 hours straight. Jordan and others sustain a direct hit mistaking the condensation funnel lifting as a ropeout, and debris hits them knocking out their side window. Meanwhile TornadoVideos.Net, successfully deploys the HD camera probe and 2 other mesonet vehicles record the pressure drop as it hit them.5/25/08: We intercept a very weak landspout and witness amazing structure in NW Barton county, KS.5/24/08: Cap bust, turkey towers in NC KS and SC NE.5/23/08: We intercept 2-3 tornadoes and chase for nearly 12 hours solid, one tornado up close near Park (Quinter) Kansas, Ness City and then ended our chase near Greensburg/Great Bend.5/22/08: We intercept several spinups and two tornadoes near Dighton, Ness City, and Wakeeney, KS5/10/08: We intercept a brief cone tornado until the infamous Picher, OK supercell forms literally in minutes and chokes our storm. After trying to punch the core and dealing with closed highways, we also intercept the ropeout stage and drive through the damage path that claims the lives of 4 people near Joplin, MO...23 people total.5/1/08: A moderate risk day with the theme of 2008...: unidirectional and veered surface flow that produces very photogenic supercells and tornadoes, the most impressive in NE OK, but we blow the storms off...and it turns out to be a huge mistake.4/24/08: We get a tan in SW KS as the cap wins, but refused to go home empty handed and intercept a supercell that produces a few "if-nadoes" and then produces EF-2 damage north of Beloit, KS. We chased it until 2 a.m., the longest chase for tornado-warned storms we've ever done.4/19/08: TornadoLive.Com and TornadoVideos.Net have teamed up this Spring to stream LIVE VIDEO for every storm chase! Not only is there LIVE VIDEO, but we also have a live GPS tracker overlayed onto Google maps with radar...and many more features coming soon!4/15/08: Darin and Dick were interviewed for a documentary about the Greensburg, KS tornado that leveled 95% of the town and unfortunately took the lives of 12 people. It will air on Sunday, May 4th at 7 p.m. on PBS in Kansas. Visit, GreensburgFilm.Com for more info.Our Greensburg footage will also be on the new 13 part series on the Discovery Channel, called "Ecotown" for at least the first two episodes.In 2007, we successfully broadcasted at least 3 tornadoes on 3 separate chase days!TornadoLive is the Photography/Video Outlet for storm chasers Darin Brunin, Dick McGowan, Matt Jacobs and Jordan Wrecke. Located in Lawrence, KS and Kansas City.. We are some of the most hardcore chasers in the world, traveling tens of thousands of miles every year in search of the best and worst, that mother nature has to offer.Successful chase days in 2007 with multiple tornadoes: 3/28, 4/21, 5/4, 5/5 and 5/22
