S3E13 Surviving Category 5 Hurricane Melissa

Season 3 · Episode 13

Wednesday, December 3, 2025 • Duration 01:10:06

Storm chaser Max Olson joins us on this episode of the StormReel podcast to talk about his harrowing experience chasing the monstrous and historic Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 beast whose 185mph sustained winds devastated the island of Jamaica. As the eyewall moved in, Max and his chase partners found themselves in survival mode after barricading their door shut with furniture. Hunkered down in the bathroom, they could only listen as the world outside their shelter was ripped apart. Max also shares the story behind the most iconic and intense storm surge video ever captured after he placed a remote camera in the path of Hurricane Ian in 2022. Unbeknownst to Max at the time, his camera had filmed an epic story of survival as a couple and their dogs were swept away by storm surge while still inside their home. It's an episode you don't want to miss!

S2E7 Central Texas Mayhem

Tuesday, April 26, 2022 • Duration 01:13:54

After a long break, the Tornado Trackers Podcast is back with a new episode detailing the reasons for the long break along with a behind-the-scenes look at two epic storm chasing days from this spring. Jeff and Gabe share stories from the busy start to the 2022 Central Texas tornado season and what went into tracking two tornadoes that occurred too close to home: the March 21st Round Rock - Granger EF2 and the April 12th Salado EF3.

The long-track Round Rock - Granger tornado was a pivotal moment for the team as Jeff and Gabe were able to, for the first time, live stream a close range intercept on the local news, giving residents real-time visuals of the rare, large tornado that remained on the ground for over 35 miles.

S2E6 Bloopers and Busts

Season 2 · Episode 7

Tuesday, December 7, 2021 • Duration 55:15

Cue the sad trumpet. In this episode of the Tornado Trackers Podcast, the team shares a few examples of when storm chases did not go according to plan. From struggling to even get out the door, to unexpectedly ending up under water, to an ill-timed stomach bug - these are the stories of chases gone bad.

Editor's Note: In this episode we mentioned that there were no High Risk days this year. In fact, there were two: March 17, 25. We were thinking of 2020 where there were no High Risk days issued by the Storm Prediction Center. But 2021 feels like an extension of 2020, so there's that.
