2001: A Storm Chasing Odyssey

Click on the link for chase accounts and pictures from each chase. I still need to make captures, and write summaries, for a few of the later chases, but there will be no dead links within the summaries. Once inside... you can click on any of the pics for a larger image. Also, you can navigate through each chase by using the links at the bottom of each chase page, without having to return to this page each time. The number in parentheses indicates the number of pics included with each summary. Enjoy!
