Tornado Chasers Needs Your Help

sethtvn —  March 1, 2013

We have launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the 2013 season of Tornado Chasers. If successful, these funds will go directly to paying the production costs associated with the new season of Tornado Chasers.

You can give any amount of $1.00 or higher but the most popular pledge levels are $20 and $35 due to the rewards associated with them.

If you are only interested in watching the 2013 season, you will want to pledge at the $20 level. This will get you a Season Pass of the 2013 Tornado Chasers season on TVNweather On Demand, meaning that each episode will be delivered as it is released. That’s twelve episodes for a discounted price of $20, a perfect value if you plan on watching the 2013 season.

If you haven’t seen the 2012 season or would like to give it as a gift, we highly recommend you pledge at the $35 level. This will get you the 2013 Season Pass as well as two 2012 season bundles. The first 2012 bundle is for yourself and the other is to give as a gift to anyone with a valid email address. We feel this pledge level is an incredible value.

Both of these pledge levels also come with an exclusive Tornado Chasers 2012 wallpaper and a digitally signed picture of the team, all of which will be available for download.

We also have additional pledge levels that allow you to give 2013 Season Passes as gifts as well as other extraordinary perks.

Please keep in mind that you can set the pledge amount to whatever you like. For example if you want the 2013 Season Pass you can pledge $21, $22, $23, or more as shown below. Pledge any amount you wish. You can also come back and add more to your pledge amount at anytime, which may be especially helpful if we come down to the wire on our funding goal. Anyone giving more than the pledge level truly has our utmost respect as an awesome individual.

If we do not reach 100% of our funding goal by the end of the Kickstarter project we will receive nothing and Tornado Chasers 2013 will not be funded. You will only be charged your pledge amount if we reach this goal.

Take a look at the project and if you know anyone who may be interested please share it with them.

Thank you,
TVNweather Team

On January 29th, the Storm Prediction Center had issued a moderate risk for a big chunk of the mid-south with the primary threats being damaging winds and strong tornadoes. Numerous tornado watches were issued and most of the severe weather started Tuesday evening and ended Wednesday evening. All-in-all Tuesday had 324 reports with most of those being damaging winds, although 13 tornado reports were recorded. One fatality occurred last night, as a man allegedly tried to take shelter in a shed and was killed.

A deadly tornado stuck the town of Adairsville, Georgia this morning leaving at least one dead and several more injuries. The storm was embedded within a squall line and was moving extremely fast when it hit the town. Before this fatality today, the US had set a record for most days without a tornado-related fatality with 220 days, since records had been kept in 1950. Check out this INSANE video of it here!

This was a classic high shear/low instability setup in the south, and isn’t unusual as most people think. Luckily, this event was forecasted several days in advance and after April 27th, 2011, people in Dixie Alley are more weather-aware than ever before. Today’s severe weather reports totaled 262, with 7 of those being tornadoes.

Don’t forget to check out “Tornado Chasers” now available at a bulk rate of $19 for all episodes 1-12! For updates on warnings and real-time weather information, be sure to follow Reed’s Facebook fan page and Twitter account and stay informed!

On Monday, there were at least two confirmed tornadoes, with one being a high end EF-1 near Edgewater, Florida, where it destroyed some houses and took the roofs off of others.  The other tornado occurred over Lake Apopka, and lasted just a few minutes.  Thankfully, no fatalities were reported.  There have also been tornadoes reported in Italy, Poland, South Africa and Uruguay over the past week or two, with several fatalities.  This late Fall has been a deadly one for tornadoes outside of the United States. The US may actually have the fewest tornadoes in quite some time for 2012, with only 893 tornadoes (10 year average is around 1300) confirmed so far this year.  Check out the Edgewater, Florida tornado below:

Don’t forget, episodes 1-10 of “Tornado Chasers” is available at ANY time, for unlimited streaming or HD download here.  Next Wednesday’s will be INTENSE, with extremely close-range video of the Wheatland, WY tornado that passed just yards in front of us with suction vortices dancing around!

Hurricane Sandy wreaks havoc along the East Coast!

dickmcgowan —  November 2, 2012

Hurricane Sandy, as of this writing, has been responsible for at least 88 US deaths, along with 43 in the Caribbean, making it the 4th deadliest hurricane in US history.  It also left millions without power and will cost the US billions.  Sandy was a very unique storm, making landfall as a category 1 hurricane and then became a post-tropical storm, bringing blizzard conditions to the Appalachian mountains and surrounding areas, with up to 3 feet of snow in some locations!  She made landfall Monday evening, very close to Atlantic City, where major damage occurred along the Jersey Shore.

TVN covered both facets of the “superstore” with a team of Dave Holder, Mike Scantlin, Chad Cowan and Blake Knapp covering the hurricane in NYC, where massive flooding occurred along the coastal waters, and where a major fire erupted in Queens late Monday night.  Reed Timmer and Connor McCrorey covered the blizzard part of the storm, streaming live video and documenting massive snowfall amounts from Elkins, West Virginia!  Check out the blizzard video, below and the Hurricane Sandy video from NYC here!
Due to Hurricane Sandy this week, both the podcast and “Tornado Chasers” have been pushed back to next Tuesday night (8 pm CDT) and Wednesday, respectively.  Also, episode 1 of “Tornado Chasers” is up online for FREE, watch here!  Those who purchased episode 1 should have received an email this week about gaining free access to episode 7, which will debut this Wednesday here!

Podcast changed to Tuesday nights at 8 pm, Tornado Outbreak Possible

dickmcgowan —  October 9, 2012


We’ve decided to change the podcast to Tuesdays at 8 p.m. CDT, not Wednesdays anymore! So, tonight is the night for the TVN podcast, “Never Stop Chasing.” You can view it here, or in case you are unable to watch it live, you can view the audio here and the video here! Remember, we will be taking questions through the chat and also through our Twitter handles: @reedtimmerTVN, @canadogreg and @stormpics!

Friday and Saturday are closing in on being potential chase days, with Saturday most likely being the most significant! The picture, above, depicts the Storm Prediction Center’s severe weather probabilities for Saturday, with the mention of possible tornadoes across the outlook area. It’s still 3-4 days away, and a lot can change, but TVN has been anticipating chasing both of these days and will be streaming live video and filming another episode of, “Tornado Chasers.” Friday could still be a potential chase day for the High Plains from SW KS/ E CO down south into E NM and the TX panhandle. So stay tuned for updates!
