RESPONSIBLE STORM CHASING
Ground-truth observations. Connections to recovery resources. Clear weather information. A mission centered on people—before, during, and after severe weather.
Partner with usOUR COMMITMENT
Ground truth in the field. Support for communities in crisis. Clear weather data for everyone.
Our teams report what they observe honestly, share verified information, and help people connect with official resources. We work in coordination with emergency services—not in place of law enforcement, medical providers, or emergency management agencies.
Read our full mission02 / OUR WORK
Three connected commitments guide how we serve the people in the path of severe weather.
Our trained observers document tornadoes, wall clouds, hail, damaging winds, and flash flooding. We relay observations directly to the National Weather Service to help forecasters corroborate radar signatures and refine warnings. Accurate, honest reporting guides every observation.
During and after disasters, we share verified information about road closures, damage areas, and ongoing hazards. We help residents connect with official resources and relief organizations, providing situational awareness where information may be delayed or incomplete.
HookScan is our free, accessible weather intelligence program. It brings professional-grade radar, official NWS and NOAA warnings, forecasts, and storm guidance into one platform for families, storm chasers, and meteorologists.
