🚨 Behind the Engine : Meet the Developer Powering TorCAST
Hey storm chasers, mets, and weather enthusiasts — I’m Brandon Walls, Chief Engineer, CISO, and founder of @TorCASTWX.
My severe weather journey kicked off in earnest back in 2017 with the Georgia Storm Troopers — a 501(c)(3) volunteer organization dedicated to weather education, community alerts, and on-the-ground storm response across Georgia. What started as chasing and monitoring threats in our own backyard (right after those devastating Albany-area tornadoes) quickly grew into something bigger.
As an active Board Member and contributor, I built tools like Dorothy — an early automated alert system that helped the team relay faster, more precise local warnings.
That hands-on experience chasing storms, issuing real-time updates, and seeing the gaps in public awareness pushed me to merge my broadcast engineering roots with deep meteorological insight. The result? TorCAST — a next-level platform that doesn’t just track radar, it surfaces the maximum plausible severe potential before storms fully organize.
From 3D visualizations and AtmoSlice to the real-time TPI (Tornado Potential Index) that flagged threats hours early — every feature is rooted in years of real-world storm trooping across Georgia.
This isn’t just software. It’s the evolution of lessons learned in the field since 2017.

@911NewsBreaks If you are living near powerlines and have thunder that loud, it is the lines vibrating from the force of the thunder. I have experienced this many times. Same thing happens when you have strong winds hit the lines.
There are people out there thinking Trump is the anti-Christ just because of the photo posted. They fail to realize he is dressed like the pope and that pic was posted by someone else back in Feb.
@mtgreenee Geeee.... almost like it was planned right? MTG... research what you post please... you make yourself look stupid. Nick Adams is the originator of this.
@FmrRepMTG So you go from wanting to impeach him yesterday to now saying Trump should have never been side by side w Israel... do you even have a clue of what is going on? Are you that much of a moron to understand? So glad you are not in DC anymore.
@mtgreenee And you are a baffoon to think that he means to physically destroy the entire country. Not even a nuke will be dropped. It would cause global thermonuclear war if he did. He is not stupid. You on the other hand... a gaslighter.
MTG, Jones, Carlson, Bannon…. they are all going to look really stupid. Several people asking for impeachment immediately. Some are calling Trump mentally ill.
This is an EXPOSURE of those who turn their backs. They are about to find out how stupid they look. Pay attention...
There is a big difference. Then you have military experts that are in agreement. Remember, Trump will not tell you what he is going to do. The media is flipping out. The rhinos are flipping out. The democraps... well they lost their minds a long time ago.
Trump knows EXACTLY
It is going to be quite hilarious when Trump pulls his Trump card out on Iran and everyone who keeps thinking he is going nuclear is sitting there looking like an idiot tomorrow because a nuke was not dropped.
Define context.... the same people who are transgenders who live in the US and are in support of the IRGC are the same people who state Trump is about to nuke Iran. CONTEXT is everything... idiots who actually believe that Trump will nuke Iran are dumb as hell.
