In the summer of 2002, Stormskies.com first went online with my first collection of photographs from my first chase trip into the Plains that May.  It was an idealistic website devoted to a pure and childlike fascination with weather and with the phenomena of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes.  While the first incarnation of Stormskies.com was very well suited to it's author, the beginning of 2007 brought about a need for a change to this site. 

The new Stormskies.com is now a streamlined, clean template once more for me to fill with new photography, new chase stories, articles, news and information about myself and my passions. Although it may take me a while to rebuild chase-related content, you can always click on the link to the left of here to navigate to my Blog, Open Door, which will always keep you up to date on my more recent ramblings, musings and news.  I hope you enjoy the new look of this long-standing website and I hope you continue to be - or become - regular readers here.  The beginning of the 2007 chase season is upon us - and this new site will, I hope, rapidly fill up with new material.

For now, enjoy the new look, the new links, and please get acquainted to my new website.  As always - you can send me e-mail - this time via the "E-Mail" link to the left.

My thanks in helping me redesign this site - albeit it in it's current skeletal form - go to my husband Jason Politte, and my long-time webhost, Dryline Hosting.
