Through the world of Facebook, I saw that a friend of a friend (who I also knew, but now very well) was a storm chaser. I randomly bumped into him and asked if I could tag along sometime. He said he would let me know when conditions were right and a few weeks later I was riding shotgun (well, mostly in the back seat) with Nick Schenher and photographer Chris Graham.
