My name’s Lorraine. I am very upbeat and bubbly. I love to meet new
people and experience a lot of new and different things documenting it every
step of the way. In my free time you will find me driving all over the United
States to chase storms. I love weather! The photography bug bit me back in 2009
and I fell head over heels for it. One of my favorite things to do is go out
into nature and photograph it at its best and at its worst. I photograph
everything from animals to people and everything in between. They say a picture
is worth a thousand words and I could not agree more. Pictures show deep
emotion where words cannot. I love the pure happiness a picture can bring to
someone and I thrive to do that for people! It brings me much satisfaction when
a photo I take touches someone.
This shot was taken May
18th 2013 in Rozel Kansas. The weather models were showing a potentially great
chase day out in Kansas and it was on the weekend so it was perfect. My chase
partner and I decided to take the drive down to see what we could catch. Brad
and I got into Greensburg Kansas and sat at a gas station with a number of
other chasers for a few hours. Greensburg is no stranger to large tornadoes
because they too were hit by one a few years back. Later in the afternoon the
storms started developing so we started towards Rozel because of the weather
parameters there. A storm had quickly formed giving us many photographic
opportunities. We were in perfect position because the tornado started right by
us in an open field and in phenomenal light! As the tornado moved through the field, we got
back into the car and continued to follow it through its life cycle. Through
its life cycle it turned many shapes and colors. I have never seen a tornado so
pretty. The tornado was rated an EF4 and one of the best kind because no one
was hurt in it and there was very minimal damage as it stayed in the open
fields mostly. Here is a link to the blog I wrote on my website about it. Rozel Ks Chase May

This photo will be featured in National Geographic's new book coming out in October called "Rarely Seen."
I will be sharing how to get great shots as this in my program "Storm
Chasing, How to Capture the Weather" at CAPS-Chicago Area
