Hello! My name is Michael Williams (Mikey). I am an 18 year-old weather enthusiast, meteorology student, and storm chaser who does videography and photography of thunderstorms and other atmospheric phenomena. While chasing/spotting, I report severe weather occurrences and damage to help communities and others stay safe. I also do independent research on tornadoes and am aiming to do field studies on them.
Accomplishments!
Spring 2023 & 2024 3rd place weather broadcast winner at Student Television Network national convention!
I aired my first two pieces of storm footage to local and national news; a monstrous supercell in June, and a derecho in July, both in 2023.
First paper focusing on the process of convergence and shear-induced non-mesocyclonic significant tornadogenesis.
