Welcome to my southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina storm chasing website.  This site is dedicated to bringing you documented coverage of severe weather outbreaks in Virginia and North Carolina.  As severe weather breaks out, I will attempt to document the weather through still photography and video.  If you are interested in using any of my images or video clips, please use my email contact information below.

Classic Shelf Cloud Formation
On August 10th, 2007 we witnessed a classic shelf cloud formation move over Craney Island across the Elizabeth River and into Norfolk, Va.  This storm was part of a system that created numerous severe thunderstorm warnings across southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina.  These storms brought an end to a week that saw 5 straight days of heat warnings with heat indexes topping 105F degrees every afternoon.  Below are some images and a video clip of the storm system that was pushed ahead of a cold front that broke this oppressive heat.  Photographs are here and the video of this storm can be viewed on my YouTube site here.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uavOjeAp_tEhttp://web.mac.com/mikeshumate/iWeb/Weather/Classic%20Shelf%20Cloud%20Formation.htmlhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uavOjeAp_tEshapeimage_4_link_0shapeimage_4_link_1shapeimage_4_link_2
