Video: Asking the big questions: “Why we are here…?”

It’s been eight years since I got bored while waiting for storms to produce and shot a quick homage to one of my favorite scenes.

I ended up seeing – literally – nothing that say but cumulus clouds. I drove, like 7 hours for clouds. But hey, that’s what happens when you storm chase. Some days you end up in El Reno with a 2.5 mile wide monster, other days you’re in Vernon. With cumulus clouds.
