This wasn’t the best chase year for me, if you define successful storm chasing by how many tornadoes you see.
May was a historically slow time for tornadoes, and I wasn’t in the Plains for the three-day tornado-mageddon event that produced the Pilger, Nebraska, tornado and others.
Still, I photographed a lot of beautiful storms and skies in Florida and Tornado Alley, and while I did so, I finished my research for “Zap Bang” and published it in September – the third novel in my Storm Seekers trilogy. And even if I didn’t see incredible tornadoes, my characters did!
Here’s a slide show that looks back at 2014’s dramatic skies through photography.
