Storm Chasing
Chasing Severe Weather across the Plains.
Hello, my name is Charles Hamilton. I am Midwest Skywarn. I started chasing storms in 2009 and have enjoyed every time I'm out in my element.

Hello, my name is Charles Hamilton. I am Midwest Skywarn. I started chasing storms in 2009 and have enjoyed every time I'm out in my element. I have been associated with several different groups during that time. Like Missouri Storm Chasers until the owner of the group went off to Oklahoma to Meteorology Study at OU. Then Missouri Tornado Chasers for a year, after which I formed Midwest Skywarn. I did some chasing for Storm View Live and SVL Media to try to fund my hobby but they were to demanding and had a fit if you didn't chase Everything. I had to work so that wasn't going to happen. So I've been on my own for the better part of my time. I fell in love with Severe Weather when my family and I were in the other edge of the Topeka tornado in the early 60's. I watched The Wizard of Oz every year as a kid and was fascinated even more. Except for the flying monkeys. That was nightmare stuff. Anyway I have no college degrees. All my training has been with Skywarn and field implementation. I know what I'm doing and how to stay safe and report what I'm seeing in the field. Don't get me wrong, the adrenaline flows thru my veins like any body out there but I respect Mother Nature and don't want to add any problems being had because of the weather. I don't post damage photos or video out of respect for the victims. Its not a carnival and I would expect the same if it was my property damaged or destroyed. So I hope you like the stuff I do have and be patient as I get the page back in shape and updated.
