Welcome to Bavariastormteam!

This website is all about weather, severe weather and stormchasing in the U.S. and Europe.
You can view severe weather pictures, read storm chasing accounts or meteorological case studies as well as videocasts (for the time being, only in German) and some lines about myself.

Since 2006, we regularly visit the Great Plains of the U.S., also known as tornado alley, to witness some of the strongest convective storms on our planet.
Pictures have been added to the Great Plains Galleries-section.
See here a video trailer from the 2007 trip (04:00 min) at trailergp2007.wmv [22.139 KB] and pictures from the 2008 trip (21.04 - 6.05) below.

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy!
