Beginning in Saskatoon with a riverboat cruise. Then off to Cypress Hills to wait for storms to emerge where we ran into thick fog. Southern Alberta produced nothing until midnight besides antelope and a nice sunset. Things took off earlier on Monday as we chased the first big supercell through the Badlands of Alberta with intercept south of Oyen. Following it back to Saskatoon, we got to core punch west of Kindersley, confirming golf ball size hail. The next day went completely as planned with 3 major thunderstorms including the tornadic supercell at Hodgeville starting after 3pm. A squall line and once in a lifetime type mammatus cloud formations just west of Regina to get me home!

Two Tornadoes West Of Moose Jaw
I'll post more videos after some sleep, its been a long 3 days of chasing and I've got a lot of footage to go through yet. Antelope in Alberta on Sunday and a midnight supercell. Outrageous structure on Tuesday through the foothills and chasing from Oyen, Alberta to Kindersley, Saskatchewan. Golf ball size hail and incredible colours of all sort of wild clouds there. Then to add to the tornado action, I still have to put together several timelapse videos including the most incredible mamatus show on Earth just west of Regina to bring me home. Our timing was absolutely perfect on Tuesday. Truly a once in lifetime chase. It took me personally 10 years to catch a tornado this close!
