Storm Chaser ☈ob

Hey everyone, I’m Rob — storm chaser for a little over a decade and founder of the Chasin’ Chaos Storm Team. We cover a lot of ground across the Southeast, the Ohio Valley, and Texas, reporting severe weather, documenting storms, and doing our best to help when communities are hit hard. Our chase vehicle carries Starlink, onboard comms, radar systems, lighting, and field gear so we can operate even when towers go down or coverage disappears. We’re still growing and improving season by season — trying to do things the right way, keep people informed, and show up with purpose instead of ego. We also live for the in-between moments. Our adventures don’t stop when the radar is empty — earlier this morning I was on a mountain peak in Arkansas hanging out with a raccoon in a tiny jacket. Crazy! Sometimes chasing chaos means storms, and sometimes it’s just life being unexpectedly wild in the best way. We’re grateful to be here — to learn from this community, share forecasts, chase logs, radar breakdowns, and swap stories both on and off the plains. No drama, no superiority — just people who respect the weather and love the world we get to explore under it. If you want to see what we do or ride along: 🔗 chasinchaoswx.com Thanks for having me. Looking forward to getting to know everyone. 🌩️🌪

Storm chasers need more in their lives: Sports. Comedy. Music. Circle the storm, don't circle the drain.

Why is it so hot?

@ReedTimmerUSA @Becca_Furnish It is HOT

WE HIT 100F IN NOBLE, OKLAHOMA! Heat dome is intensifying in Tornado Alley

@lorigracewx @ShaneMuckey I need to pay my cam lol they been calling me

What's your storm chasing playlist? Share it in the comments! Recently I chatted with @NaderChaserRob and we got into the importance of listening to music on the road. Of course I had to fangirl about Pink Floyd, but Rob shares a little more. Rob's playlist is in the comments:

Less than one hour until our live premiere of our new YT video. 2025 tornado mania incoming. Link in comments ❤️

@leftover_snow @JordanHallWX @TeamYouTube L

@JordanHallWX @TeamYouTube Except for running red lights on live but I don’t think that’s a ban able offense

Hey @TeamYouTube, after being obviously hacked, I was able to recover my Gmail and account. BUT, it says that my channel is in Violation and won’t be reinstated. This is a BIG problem for me and I need help immediately, as i have done nothing wrong.

@CRyanMauk It’s awesome tbh

How’s RadarOmega these days? The ol’Scope has been my name for years but….

If you’ve ever wanted to livestream from literally anywhere… watch this 🌪️📡 I broke down everything I use chasing storms: youtu.be/6Lc_2wEZIdQ?si…

I have a video of someone shining some sort of spotlight at a tornado near Effingham, IL on 4/30/25. It’s crazy that it actually kind of works lol

@VinceWaelti Failure built the best of us! Props to you to on your science mission!

Realistically he’ll fail, then he’ll rebuild it, fail, then probably have something on the 3rd try. All these “it’s dangerous comments” are so stupid. It’s parked in a driveway for Christ sake. Let the guy practice his skills and learn what works and doesn’t. They act like he’s got it out in an F5 wedge.

I love all the non-engineers and non-mechanics dogging on the kid trying to make the tornado-proof Saturn. Like you’ve never done something totally outlandish. I personally think it’s dumb but if someone wants to spend their time and money doing that so be it. Let the guy learn. When many of you were in high school I was called stupid for what I do and now look, it’s my job. All these “mental health advocates” out here making fun of this guy until he disappears instead of trying to collaborate or offer suggestions. What a joke.

@Pidgen17 @VinceWaelti I like it! Need help hmu! 💪🌪️

I appreciate you saying that! It does look like a lot of weight but it's actually going to be within the max payload weight after the weight reduction. Base car is 2400 pounds with a 990 payload weight. Removed 300 pounds which gives it about 1290 pounds to play around with. All the armor is only 16 guage steel with 1/2" polycarb for the armor. The framing material is 16guage 1.5" square tubing. It's not designed to be a full fledged interceptor just a safer close range vehicle for a film on probing tornadoes.

@WeMetWx I’m hereeee 👋

This video seems like something that would be brutal, discouraging even from the intro, but it's weirdly inspiring. I love it. Does anyone know Rob McBays X handle so I can @ him? He's got a great video on what it takes to ACTUALLY be a storm chaser! youtu.be/K1gkje3ic2Q?si…

The world just lost another legend. Chuck Norris wasn’t just an action star—he was toughness, grit, and discipline personified. A true icon. Rest easy. 🥋

How do I stay live while chasing tornadoes in the middle of nowhere? I finally broke down my full setup — from Starlink to the exact streaming settings I use 🌪️ youtu.be/6Lc_2wEZIdQ?si…

@JordanHallWX @FuzzyWx @TeamYouTube Holy shit new fear unlocked

@TeamYouTube Honestly you guys have alot to answer for because i brought this to your attention over 2 hours ago and since then they went live to 28K people. This could have easily been prevented if i was taken seriously. I need this escalated

Hey @TeamYouTube, I am fully hacked on YouTube. This is not my stream. Everyone who can please share this post and report the stream.

@ReedTimmerUSA That’s my kin

Team Dominator storm chasers ASSEMBLE! #cownado #tornadoalley #stormchasing
