TONY LAUBACH

I am a 'Twister' era chaser still out on the road today; professionally chasing weather since 2002 and am currently a Meteorologist and National Correspondent for the AccuWeather TV Network. I was featured in Discovery Channel's hit TV series, "Storm Chasers" as well as various other TV productions and specials. I was also a broadcast Meteorologist, 'weathermanned' for over five years between WSIL in southern Illinois and KAKE-TV in Wichita, Kansas.

THE HISTORY OF MY CHASING

Where It All Began

The first chase, the first tornado, the May 14, 1997 Ohio-chase that started it all.

The Story of #81

The number of Washington Redskins great, Art Monk, becomes a storm chasing icon.

The Road to Half-a-Million

In 22 years, 2 months, and 2 days, I drove half-a-million mile chasing storms across the country.
