On Wednesday, near North Platte, Nebraska, we found ourselves face-to-face with nature’s wildest tantrum - tornadoes in full, roaring display!

Swipe through these epic shots from the chase! #NEwx #UMChase25

(2/2) Most importantly, we made memories that’ll stick with us like the bugs on our windshield (no seriously, they won’t come off).

Until next time… if you feel it, CHASE IT! #UMChase25

(1/2) That’s a wrap, folks! The U of M Storm Chasers just crushed over 7300 km of chasing thunder and thrill! πŸŒͺοΈβ›ˆοΈ

We caught 4 tornadoes, storms that posed with snow-capped mountains, battled gusty winds, and racked up more hotel key cards than we can count.

(2/2) What a ride! Our chase adventure wraps up today as we hit the road back home. #umchase25

(1/2) Mother Nature put on a wild show near North Platte, Nebraska yesterday - and the U of M Chasers had front-row seats! πŸŒͺ️⚑ From beautifully sculpted storms, hail, howling winds, and even a couple of landspout tornadoes (maybe a sneaky supercellular one too πŸ‘€), we caught all the action!

4 tornadoes today! 3 landspouts and 1 supercell tornado. The landspouts may have been supercell tornadoes as well, but will await SPCs storm report confirmation. Either way, we got em! #UMChase25

Heading to Williston, ND for a pit stop tonight! Caught some stormy action over western Montana earlier, but the skies didn’t quite get their act together like we hoped. No worries - this chase trip is far from over. Back at it tomorrow! #UMChase25

(1/2) Drove from Cheyenne, WY to Laurel, MT today! Storms tried to put on a show out west, but they couldn’t get their act together - so no chase-worthy action this time. No complaints though - the drive was a total stunner, with jaw-dropping views the whole way. We soaked it all in!
