Hello, I’m Lucas of @MWStormTrackers. I’ve been chasing since 2016; I’ve dedicated countless miles with people to chasing these across our nation.
Here are my top 4 personal tornadoes from the past couple of years!
#1 — > June 21, 2026 Texico, Illinois
This chase I’ll never forget. It was my first solo tornado, which is rated an EF3, with incredible storm structure for an Illinois MCV day.
#2 —> June 27, 2020, Cuba, Missouri
This EF0 tornado will always have a special place in my heart. It was one of the defining moments early in my chasing career, especially witnessing it with my father @MuttlyJeff.
#3 —> April 17, 2025 Akron, Colorado
This chase day was awesome, especially since it was my first time in the state of Colorado, snagging this photogenic tornado with my friends @jacobspinkcamra and @ZSpinkWx; it was definitely a relatively easy day.
#4 —> May 16, 2025 Sikeston, Missouri
This chase day should be number one, though it can’t be surpassed due to witnessing a tornado with my father in June 2020. What makes it number one, in my opinion, is seeing multiple photogenic tornadoes with my friends Jack Jester, Jacob Spink, Zach Spink, Austin Miller, Kenji Portillo, and a guest. Getting a direct-hit probe deployment shows that teamwork does work!
