Welcome

[edit]

Welcome to my user page! My handle on here is Strato|sphere but my real name is Nick. I've been on Wikipedia for over 19 years! My main interests on here are articles related to the transportation networks of the United States, specifically highways in Michigan and Nebraska as well as articles related to meteorology and storm chasing.

Storm Chaser

[edit]

When the weather permits, I am an avid storm chaser. I began storm chasing in 2010 when I took a 3-week vacation to the Great Plains in search of supercells and tornadoes! On my first chase day I intercepted a tornado near Wakita, Oklahoma during the May 10–13, 2010 tornado outbreak on May 10th and since then I've logged over 185,000 miles (297,729 km) and spotted 97 tornadoes! I enjoy severe weather and chasing so much I moved to Nebraska in 2016!

Memorable Chase Events

[edit]

Here's a quick list of a few storm chases that I put on the top of my list as most memorable:
