Hello everyone, my name is Jeff Deason. This blog is dedicated to the storm chasing of myself and Chris Brown. We are friends and storm chasers chasing out of the St. Louis, MO area. We will use this blog to provide forecasting updates and chase logs, as well as photos and videos of severe weather.
Severe weather, especially tornados, and storm chasing is my passion. I have had an intense interest in tornados since I experienced an F0 tornado in my hometown of Chesapeake, VA when I was 11 years old. I have some formal meteorology training from the University of Missouri-Columbia, but the majority of my knowledge is self-taught. I am the only person that I know who reads case studies of severe weather for fun.
On the days preceding a chase, I spend hours poring over data. I enjoy looking at forecast soundings until my eyes bleed. I do all my own forecasting. I use the SPC and the local NWS WFO convective outlooks and forecast discussions as a reference but do not take them as gospel. One of the most enjoyable aspects of chasing for me, is reaping the rewards of a good forecast when staring at a large wedge tornado.
Thats all for now. Hope you all enjoy it.

Hi Jeff, that is awesome. I follow Reed Timmer in the Dominator and the chasers from "Storm Chasers" on Discovery. Reed is on my facebook friends list. I wish I had the time to get involved in that as well, I, also, have been interested in tornado's and am always watching the skies when conditions are favorable. Have fun, and most of all, stay safe on your travels.... (I am a fellow classmate of your dad, Rob)... Debbie Lucia
