Somebody has todrive out and look

TwistedWX publishes field coverage of severe weather: live chase streams, archive footage and photography from the road. It has been publishing since 2025 and works out of Canal Fulton, Ohio.

The scope is deliberately narrow. TwistedWX is not a forecast service and does not issue warnings. It goes to storms, documents them, and puts the result somewhere people can find it.

Severe weather is well covered as data and badly covered as experience. Model guidance, outlooks and radar all describe a storm from the outside. None of them tell you what the base looked like, how fast it was moving, or whether the thing on radar was doing what radar suggested.

That gap is the whole reason to drive. Being underneath a storm and describing it honestly, while it happens, is a different kind of information — and it makes the warning easier to take seriously.

Chase days start with guidance and end with a long drive home. Targets get chosen on the merits of the setup, not on how good the footage might be, and days that produce nothing get archived alongside the days that produce something.

Coverage is streamed live when the setup justifies it, and it is not narrated as a spectacle. A tornado on the ground is a hazard to the people underneath it before it is anything else.

The National Weather Service issues the watches, warnings and forecasts that matter. TwistedWX is not a substitute for any of them and never presents itself as one.

Nothing here should be used to make a life-safety decision. If a warning is out for where you are, act on the warning.
