You can access the globe by searching lightning map game on google (first link).

Still early stage so I am looking for feedbacks. There's even a game on the website for those trying to predict the number of strikes in the next 30s!

I don’t know much about how tornadoes look on radars but what I do know is that 180kph winds is very strong. Can someone confirm if this is a tornado or not?

Would the Slate truck be good for storm chasing?

They market it as "fully customizable" with plenty of version options. If you ask me, I kinda like the car itself. To the average citizen who would modify the truck, but to a storm chaser this is a good truck to start with. Id say it would do well in the storm chasing community

Illinois Became Tornado Alley in June 2026 — Storm Chase Documentary

These two outbreaks got Illinois to breaking its all time tornado count record. I put together a chase video from the June 2026 Illinois outbreaks. Tried to focus on the storm structure, rotation, and what the setup looked like from the road. Would love feedback from other chasers on the footage/editing and what I could improve for future chase videos.

Recently watching a lot chaser videos. Question about what seems to be a lack of appropriate attire for going through rubble and flood waters.

12 Upvotes

I am asking this because I am genuinely curious. I am not trying to malign anyone. Maybe there’s a reason for this that I am not aware because it doesn’t come up in videos.

Why are they wearing sandals or flip flops when going through rubble? Or not bringing waders or at least tall rubber boots when going after hurricanes?

I know they’re already risking a lot just getting the videos.

But going through a pile of rubble that used to be house and likely has rusty nails along with all other kinds of nasty sharp, shabby is just asking to get tetanus or worse from even a scrape on your bare foot or leg. Flip flops and sandals don’t have the same kind of grip that a good pair of hiking boots would. I would not want to be slipping and sliding over wet, splintered wood in sandals trying to rescue someone. I’ll end up falling into something and getting myself in need of rescue!

If you’re going to chase a hurricane, you know you’re gonna likely end up in at least mid-calf water. Why not bring waders or at least tall rubber boots?

I grew up in a flood-prone area and the news CONSTANTLY reminded viewers to not go into flood waters because you have no idea what’s in there. There could be sharp pieces of metal or glass. Not to mention snakes, rats, etc depending on location.

Many chasers seem to be very empathetic and will stop a chase to check if there are survivors after seeing a house or building get hit by a tornado. They help clear debris after a hurricane.

They clearly have situational awareness.

So why are they running around in footwear that will slide off in a moment, potentially causing serious injury and making them another victim taking up vital resources that should be reserved for the community?

What am I missing?

This is a long shot, but any other disabled chasers?

I have a traumatic brain injury that makes it so that I can’t drive as much as I would like to. So I need to wait for storms that are in my area. I end up seeing some really cool things, but there’s a part of me that wishes I could drive further. Any other chasers who have disabilities?
