Contribution: Video contributor & Video Production April 24 Chapter

 

Michael O'Keeffe grew up loving storms. In his short 15 year old life he has been fascinated with severe storms and tornadoes. It was not until he was 12 when his dad offered him the opportunity to learn how to chase tornadoes. Neither Michael nor his dad, John had any idea that they would be traveling thousands of miles each year across Tornado Alley. Some notable intercepts include the incredible Greensburg, KS tornadic supercell, the beautiful September 16, 2006 tornadoes, and the awesome tornadic storm near Nickerson, KS on April 24, 2007. In his short chasing career he has seen and videoed 36 tornadoes, including an incredible 27 tornadoes just in the challenging 2007 season alone. He hopes his passion for weather leads him to the University of Oklahoma where he hopes to get a degree in meteorology. Recently he has started a stock company that can be viewed at his website (www.supercellcrazy.com). Also he has released a highlight DVD of his record-breaking season also available at his website. After contributing to last years Storms of 06, he was very happy to provide more video this year. Providing video for Feb 28, May 4, May 5, June 6 as well he produced the April 24 chapter from Nickerson, KS.
