• Gravel & Grace

Gravel

Gravel & Grace is a concept project born from the dusty dirt roads of the Great Plains. From the moment the car tires ripped up those country roads in pursuit of a supercell thunderstorm, we have been blown away by the intensity, beauty, and art of storm chasing. This project aims to capture its essence and bring it to other people in a fully immersive experience, combining photography, literature and research to capture storm chasing’s creative process.

In 2018, we’ll be chasing storms beginning May 25th. Starting in Minneapolis, we will be positioning ourselves in the most favorable areas to the best of our ability. It’s hard to guarantee anything, as ultimately the atmosphere will determine what we experience. But we hope to capture the grittiness, beauty, and wonder of storm chasing and bring it to life through this project. We will be working with some very talented and passionate people, and we can’t wait to get started. Chase updates, blogs, and more will follow. Stick around.

Growing up in New Jersey, severe thunderstorms were hard to come by. After starting New York Metro Weather in 2012 and growing the company, it wasn’t until a 2017 move to Minneapolis that John chased his first severe weather outbreak. It inspired this very project!

Also a New Jersey native, Alex started chasing on the plains with his dad at age 16. Now a PhD candidate at The University of Wisconsin - Madison, Alex works on the numerical modeling of explosive mid-latitude cyclones, though chasing tornadoes will always be his greatest passion.

Doug has been storm chasing since 2013, although he did take a hiatus for a few years in between. After completing meteorology courses at Rutgers in 2012, he chased the famous 2013 Bennington tornadoes and also was there for El Reno, despite choosing to avoid the tornado itself.
