About Me

Storm Chasing and photography

* In 2 years storm chaser, I've seen 5 tornadoes including a fatal F3 tornado in November, the only witness (along with my chase partners) to two tornadoes in very remote areas, and a tornado we weren't even sure was there until we review video two weeks later!

* In 2006, I chased as many tornadic storms after dark as during the day.

* In my first year of chasing, I chased 18 tornado warned storms before seeing my first tornado.

* I have two chase partners, Bill Doms and Tony Perkins. I've chased in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, South Dakota, North Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska.

My Interests

Storms, Clouds and Weather... ever since I was little, these have been a passion.

Computers... Onsite Minnesota

Photography... DavidDrufke.com

I'd like to meet:

Bands.. I don't have time to listen to your demo, but I'll catch you in concert. If you don't have concerts, then you aren't a band yet.

Photographers and storm chasers... talk to me on my other account. Onsite Minnesota.

Girls... I have a girlfriend who I adore, and as innocent as me talking to you may be, it's not the right thing to do, unless it's about photography and storm chasing, then see above, and no, I won't take you on a chase sometimes, at least not without Kristen there.

Music:

* I have strong emotional reactions to music, especially live music, and concerts can bring me to tears.

* One of the best local bands is at my CHURCH. The other one is Chris Koza...

Television:

Entourage, The Sopranos, The Wire..

Books:

Popular Photography Magazine, Top Secret Tourism..

Heroes:

My girlfriend for doing what ever it takes to make us work. She also is a huge inspiration to me in making me a better person...
