Filmed on a storm chasing tour with Tempest Tours

This is a re edit of one of my older vidoes, I have taken out and changed a lot of the music in response to comments I had. I have tried to add back as much of the natural sound as possible insetead of having music playing in the background too much.

Storm chasing in Montana with Tempest Storm Chasing Tours.

June 28th has to be the most incredible days I have had storm chasing. We started the day in Belle Fourche, just 50 miles from where we would later be watching an incredible supercell near Albion, Montana. After lunch in Buffalo, South Dakota and some time looking at data in Rhame, North Dakota, the decision was made to head back to Buffalo and then head west into Montana.

We soon had a view of the developing storm more than 50 miles away and before long, driving along good gravel roads, we had arrived at our storm. The structure was already mind blowing! We stood watching the storm approach us for around 45 minutes before things started to ramp up a bit and the first tornado appeared. The first tornado lasted several minutes and was hidden by the rain at times. We didn't hang around long as the storm was just getting going with the tornado show.

We jumped back on Camp Crook Road towards Capitol to keep up with the storm, it now had a huge lowered base on it and very quickly tornado number two begun. By the time we stopped, the tornado had taken on a beautiful classic tornado shape as it slowly moved across the open fields. We watched for several minutes then moved again to keep up with the action area. Once tornado two was over, things started to look a little more serious, the motion in the storm directly above and in front of us was unbelievable and the storm looked like it was about to produce a large tornado directly in front of us. By the time we had stopped tornado three was about to make contact with the ground and we stood and watched it become a fairly large wedge shaped tornado. We had a good amount of time just watching in awe as the sky made contact with the ground, we could even hear the tornado rumble as it moved across the fields. It was soon time to move again to keep up with the tornado along Camp Crook Road.

As we drove along the road towards the storm what I saw in front of me was beyond mind blowing! The whole storm structure was spinning around the tornado like a small hurricane, I couldn't believe my eyes. This only lasted a few moments but it was enough to feel completely overwhelmed by what I saw. We continued to follow the tornado until it roped out in the rain and hail. Very soon after the fourth tornado started, by this time the sun had set and the contrast was quite low but we still enjoyed watching another distant twister on the open Plains.

It was now dark and the storm was currently sitting over Road 20 between us and Buffalo, we sat watching the lightning waiting for the storm to move on a little before heading East to Buffalo. Before long somebody shouted Tornado!!! And there was tornado number 5 hidden in the dark only made visible by the frequent lightning. We all desperately tried to capture this incredible moment before it faded away, it felt quite surreal. Then the day was done, the storm was dying and the celebration dinner was calling.

We drove back to Belle Fourche where we had started the day what felt like a lifetime ago, I got into my hotel room and set my bags down and suddenly felt completely overwhelmed by the days events. I said to myself out loud 'Did that really just happen?' Everything I had spent my days dreaming about as a young kid in high school had unfolded before my eyes. For real this time!
