People are often interested in storm chase vehicles. Individual chase vehicles can sometimes be very unique, incorporating all sorts of electronic equipment the owner might like to use while storm chasing. These vehicles are not only unique, but represent many hours of work on behalf of the owner. You can't just go out and buy a ready-to-go chase vehicle. Almost all of the equipment has to be engineered into the vehicle in some way if it's done correctly to insure that equipment stays in place, is electrically sound and safe to use. Everything having a place makes a chase much more enjoyable. While these vehicles often make look odd with all sorts of things sticking out of them, they are very useful providing a platform various forms of equipment that storm chasers use for safely and effectively chasing down and navigating around and through severe weather.

Most chase vehicles you see are privately owned. Some however are owned by television stations, or are private vehicles who's owner has been contracted by the TV station. Some chase vehicles are owned by universities or private organizations and are used in various projects in the ongoing study of severe weather. Chase vehicles are as diverse in design and purpose as storm chasers themselves.
Using the links below you can not only see our current chase vehicles, but past ones as well. I have also added a section for vehicles of other storm chasers. If you are a chaser with a well designed chase vehicle and would like to get pictures of your vehicle here, just contact me and let me know and we can work out the details. In time I would like this to be a central place to see most of the cool storm chaser's vehicles that roam tornado alley every spring!
