At long last, my new severe weather observation highlights video, Stormy Skies, Mid Deacade Edition is now available! This video features a dozen tornadoes, including footage from Minneola and Dodge City, KS (May 24. 2016), Trinidad, CO (June 6, 2014). and of a rare high-altitude tornado west of Chama, NM (September 29, 2014), along with lots of other wild weather including thundersnow, supercells, hail, and more. Details and ordering info here! As noted in the linked page, I would be more than happy to trade for other chasers' highlights videos.

Finally few copies are still available of my 2011 storm observation highlights video Stormy Skies 2011. A short trailer for the video and additional information can be found here.
