This video from mine (I’m Jamie) & Chris Shaw’s Tropical Storm chase on Monday makes me LOL every time I listen to it. We had rotation on both sides of us as well as in front of us. We moved shortly after this. How would you have responded? Would you have stayed and tried to see what it did or would you have moved to a somewhat safer location? Let us know!

This is the heavy band of wind and rain from Tropical Storm Beryl Monday night taken near the Caddo Valley area by our chase team members.

Just a few photos from my storm chase Monday night. Got the whole package of tornadoes, heavy rain, wind, and flooding from tropical storm Beryl. I love chasing tropical systems.

Hope everyone has enjoyed a great holiday weekend! All eyes on the Gulf Coast now as we turn our attention to the tropical system expected to hit the heartland.

We are continuing to monitor things regarding l and it's impact to the natural state and the rest of the Heartland. We are down our main storm hunter rig and awaiting to get a new one but we have a small team of chasers eager to roll. We will be looking to add to our team over the summer!

Enjoying a break this holiday weekend up on toad suck but all eyes are on next week and what could bring tropical impacts to the natural state and much of the southern part of the Heartland. Stay tuned....

Hurricane Beryl Update 🌀:

Almost wall to wall agreement regarding not only Beryl impacting the Texas coastline but also bringing impacts to Arkansas early to mid next week 🌀!

Specific timing is still being questioned right now, however, IF trends hold....we could see impacts here in Arkansas as early as Tuesday-Tuesday Night.

For those that aren't familiar with tropical impacts, this would bring the following:
1) Heavy rainfall/Flooding Potential 🌧
2) Tropical Tornado Threat (depending on the overall track) 🌪
3) Gusty winds (depending on the strength)

Regardless, rainfall & cooler temps return for next week Arkansas, lots to watch here!

BERYL BECOMES THE FIRST CATEGORY 5 OF THE SEASON & THE EARLIEST CAT 5 ON RECORD!

Wind gusts are now up to 195 MPH in this system! 😳

We will be watching this system very closely over the next 5-7 days!

Finally getting around to editing some of our videos from the season! Here is one from the final day of our chase trip earlier this month! This storm was so photogenic and produced some awesome shots that now are hung on the office wall at work!

Sunsets with clouds in the summer time make for great scenery.

Already missing those good ole days now that's it's Hot! Here is a phone grab of the inflow from a severe storm in the Panhandle that ended up producing damage back in late May!

Good morning everyone. Here is the start of those photos from our recent trip to the Plains. The scenery this year made up for our lack of tornado intercepts. Just the relaxation enjoying nature was worth it. Shout-out to our friends at Natural State Wireless for keeping us powered with internet throughout the trip. Plenty more where this came from! .
