Mark’s most unforgettable moment of storm chasing was in May of 2011 following the tornado that eventually struck Piedmont. The whirlwind was wrapped in rain, so they couldn’t really see it. Nevertheless, they were close enough to feel the storm’s force, which almost lifted their truck off the ground. They waited for the storm to pass over the interstate, then proceeded at a safe distance
Mark is thrilled about storm chasing because it gives him the chance to use his training to benefit the public in times of weather emergencies.
