Brandon Black

I am a National Weather Service employee with a passion for the extreme. I grew up in southwest Florida where hurricanes and waterspouts roam the seas and my passion for wild weather begins. I moved to North Carolina to pursue a degree in Meteorology and where my true chasing career began. I have been chasing consistently for about 6 years now with chases from North Carolina to Colorado, Florida to Virginia.

My first big chase was the Nov 17th, 2013 high risk in Illinois. Despite a bust, due to insane storm motions, the thrill of the hunt and the challenge of tracking tornadoes through the US Heartland was implanted deep inside waiting for another shot. Since then have had some good days and some not so good and I’m here to share them all. Also if you’re in the vicinity shoot me a message and let’s tell some war stories over a couple of beers.
