SevereStudios.com Team

SevereStudios Inc. is the leader in on-the-scene live streaming of extreme weather. By utilizing the experience, talent, and skill of the SevereStudios Team, we strive to cover all severe weather events across the world, including tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, flooding, and wildfires.

Using technology perfected by SevereStudios Inc., the SevereStudios Team is able to stream high quality video, live from the field, through our servers to the SevereStudios Live ChaseCam Network. These live ChaseCam feeds are then rebroadcast to the National Weather Service, local, national, and world-wide media, and to our website viewers. We also provide high quality stock footage to media and production companies.

Over the last ten years, millions of TV viewers have watched severe weather footage caught by the SevereStudios Team. From multiple-day tornado outbreaks in Kansas and Arkansas, to massive hurricanes, SevereStudios Chasers have strived to cover every major weather event in North America and beyond.

SevereStudios Chasers are located throughout the world, so we can cover severe weather anywhere as it happens in real time. Most SevereStudios Chasers use vehicles that are equipped with laptop computers, mobile internet, live radar, GPS trackers, HAM radios, HD video cameras, weather radios, portable TV's, and live video broadcast capability. These technologies allow us to cover storms accurately, and stay safe when chasing severe weather in dangerous situations.
