Are You Searching For Hurricane Stock Video And More? HD ProRes Available
Thank you for your interest in my hurricane and severe storm stock video footage. As I noted on my front page, I specialize mostly in filming hurricanes and Florida lightning storms. It has always been the most accessible to me, plus it’s my main passion when it comes to forecasting, chase intercepting and capturing through motion and stills. However, I have chased and filmed in the Great Plains of Tornado Alley for about a half dozen season’s, and will continue to in the coming years. Capturing everything from Supercells, small tornadoes, storm landscapes, storm chasers and very large hail.
I will try and break down below a small summary of my stock footage. Not everything I have ever shot is published here on the website, so I normally send out DVD screeners upon request. Please be sure when requesting a DVD screener to specify the event or footage you’re looking for. You can view my About Page to see where all my video work has been featured on TV.

Florida Sea Breeze Thunderstorms And More
I have a significant video and picture collection of Florida native seabreeze lightning storms from over the last 15 years. When it comes to documenting Florida weather, you’ve come to the right place. Below are many of the available footage and pictures of classic Florida weather.
- Vivid shelf clouds, storm structure, and deep convection.
- Lightning video and long-exposure photography.
- Ocean water-spouts, lake-spouts, dust devils and hail.
- Wildfires, drought, freezes, large surf, tropical landscapes, flooding, and wildlife scenes.
2K And 4K Thunderstorms and Clouds Time-Lapse
In late 2009 I began shooting time-lapse sequences of seabreeze thunderstorms and other cloudscapes across Florida. Some of these include sunrises, sunsets and city nightscapes. I shoot using a full-frame Canon EOS 5D Mark II in raw. I hope to have a gallery up mid 2011 of my recent work for licensing. Coming Soon 2K- 2048x1536 and 4K-4096x2160 files will be available later this year.
