Hi there ! Thanks for visiting the sydneystormchasers.com

Please feel free to contact the owners of this site.

James Harris - jimboharr@hotmail.com

James is an Adelaide boy but we don't hold that against him. James is based in the traquil suburb of Galston- importantly, only 90 minutes from the Hunter. James grew up in Northern Sydney where is love of storms was only matched by his love of cricket. James is especially lethal off a long run (though his bowling action is a tad suspect), and his Murray Walker impression is only topped by his freakish ability to talk like Tony Grieg for hours on end (something that frequently happens on a storm chase).

Daniel Weatherhead - dann@sydneystormchasers.com

Dann is a Melbournite but, again, we don't hold that against him either. Growing up in Western Sydney, Dann watched the storms brew over the ranges from the roof of his parents house. Now based in leafy Warrimoo located in the Blue Mountains, Dann shares a similar love of sport, and though he has no forward defensive shot, he can punt the leather Sherrin a mile. Partnered in commentary with James, Dann readily supports with his uncanny impresonation of Ray 'Rabs' Warren - and like Rabs, is always willing to absolutely over the top on typically mundane topics.

Matthew Smith - mattysmithsemail@gmail.com

Matt was the founder of Thunderstruck Storm chasing in 1998. Matt grew up in Burwood but now lives in Blacktown, with easy access to major freeways for frequent chasing! Matt's love of extreme weather has him out and about whenever possible, chasing the wild stuff this state has to offer.Although not the best at actually playing sports, he is a keen sport lover (broncos fan!), and with the 2 stooges above, make up the Sydney storm chasers team.

Here is some answers to some common emails :

No, this is not a full time job, and we do not get paid. It is a hobby we take great pride and joy in, and take seriously. The combination of weather forecasting, together with filmaking and photography makes for an extremely challenging yet rewarding hobby (obsession)

Yes it can get expensive with film costs, fuel and car serivices, and accomodation on our days off when we can get out in the field.

Yes - we designed this site. Well some of us - Two Brown Shoes - its a drupal based site running off a mediatemple grid sever. We tweaked our site for 3 years to get it right and we are still tweaking. Graphics stuff is all done by Dann. Programming and other assorted techy stuff is done by SSC pal Myles

Yes we are those 'sydney storm chasers' you might hear about in the media. Each of us have given radio interviews, on Triple J , and ABC radio in Sydney and regional NSW, and 2UE, NOVA and MMM.

Yes - we are interested in supplying severe storm and weather photography to newspapers, magazines, calendars, postcards, and for business use, just drop us an email.

Thanks again, hope you like this website.
