Hall of Fame

The "National Storm Chasing Hall of Fame" (NSCHoF) is a program designed to honor individuals whose life works have had a positive and lasting impact on storm chasing. Nominees should be widely known by the storm chasing community and their contributions must have been evident over a long period of time. Possible contributions include, but are not limited to, forecasting, mentorship, community engagement, education, documentation, photography/videography, innovation, and research. An inductee to the NSCHoF should have a minimum of twenty (20) years of field experience unless extenuating circumstances (injury or death) prevail.

 

It is with extreme pride and heartfelt excitement that committee members comprising the Storm Chaser Hall of Fame (SCHoF), and in coordination with the National Storm Chaser Summit, hereby announce their choices for inaugural inclusion into the SCHoF.

This is the first year of existence for the SCHoF whose purpose is to bring recognition to those talented and insightful individuals who have formed the foundation of Storm Chasing and the multiple genres of Meteorological endeavors to the extent that they exist today.

 

A total of six inductees were selected from numerous nominations of many well-deserving individuals submitted by those currently active within the scientific, research and storm chasing community.

​

• David Hoadley
