6 May 2022: Two storm chasers on the road west with a plastic cow

It’s time for Storm Chasing 2022! Even if we missed all the amazing storms at the end of April and the very start of May.

Alethea Kontis and I took a couple of days to travel out to Tornado Alley from Florida – realizing halfway through the journey that the weather pattern had changed from promising for storms to a much more challenging one.

We decided to press on anyway since hope springs eternal and all of that.

With occasional stops for food and gas, we drove about 1547 miles in the first two days. Our plan is to pursue photography and writing when the storms aren’t cooperating.

Here’s a video of us crossing the Mississippi in Arkansas – the official entry into the West.
