An Exploration of Severe Weather

Nick Bartholomew has been obsessed with weather as long as he can remember.  When he was younger, he was interested in weather but was terrified when thunderstorms would roll in. As he grew older, that fear turned into a burning desire to understand severe weather, and as soon as he got his license, he would go on local chases to see Mother Nature up close.  In 2016, he decided to kick it up a notch and start traveling to Tornado Alley, having documented over a dozen tornadoes in his career.  Illinois Storm Chasers was formed in 2015, by owners Danny Neal and Adam Lucio, with additional staff added in the years following. Since day one, Illinois Storm Chasers has striven to bring the most accurate and non-sensationalized weather forecasts to Illinois.
