Storm Chasing Tours

ph: 505-220-7518

Services     INTERNATIONAL GUESTS WELCOME   map

As your tour guide I provide all of the equipment and knowledge to go storm chasing, while you operate your own vehicle. There are two primary reasons I operate the tours in this fashion. First, you’re completely in control of the experience. You can bring who you want along, and all I do is provide the guidance to the severe weather you want to see. Also, if I were the driver and owner of the vehicle, I would be a for-hire driver of a commercial interstate operation. This would make the tours subject to a host of additional state and federal regulations, which would in turn make my guide services subject to substantially more taxes and fees. This way as a guest in your vehicle, I can provide nearly the same private experience at a substantially lower cost to you.

What do I provide:
  • Experience to get you as safely as possible to the storm and back
  • Laptop containing maps of the entire US & weather software
  • Satellite weather data receiver for the laptop (WxWorx)
  • Cellular data for the laptop
  • Two GPS units (one for laptop, another for general directions)
  • Scanner (to listen to NWR stations and spotter nets)
  • and More!
What do you provide:
  • Vehicle
  • You (i.e. the driver)
  • Your food, hotel room, fuel, & tolls
  • Guide's hotel room, or share a room to save

See the [FAQ] section for more details and how this tour is designed to be more accommodating.

May 22nd was a fantastic day for us. Seeing 5 tornadoes in one day (one of which turned out to be an F4) was truly amazing.

Customer Image

I would and have highly recommended this tour to my friends and work colleagues, the whole experience from seeing amazing supercells, tornadoes and the thrill of the chase add up to an experience that you will talk about for years and remember for a lifetime. [...] If you want an experience you will never forget and will talk about for a very long time to come then I highly recommend chasing with Robert - you will not be disappointed!

Tour Thumbs Up

Robert is very skilled and knowledgeable.  He was a great teacher.  The fact that we seemed to be one step ahead of all three of the Discovery Channel teams is indicative of Robert’s knowledge and capabilities.  The entire family has the Storm Chasing bug and we will be back again next year.  Thank you Robert for your patience, focus on safety, and creating a lifelong memory for the entire family.  The Robminator Rocks!
