Welcome to The Weather Scene segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, The Weather Scene will feature weather related content. Editor / publisher Nathan Young loves weather related content. And this segment will feature something about the weather every week.
This series started off back in 2016 and it’s hard to believe it’s now the fifth film. Time sure flies when you are on the road chasing! Each film seems to have its own character, own style or just a vibe that resonates throughout. Not sure how to explain that or if it makes sense, but it’s the feeling YouTuber Mike Olbinski gets when he goes back to watch them on occasion.
Vorticity 5 took two years to film. Tens of thousands of miles across the central United States, from Montana to the Texas/Mexico border. A few hundred thousand shutter clicks. Loads of McDonalds, Subway and Allsups. The most epic, cheap motels. And countless, stunning storms.
This is the first time for any movie of mine where he has tornadoes AND haboobs make appearances. The haboob (dust storm) happened in May of 2022 in southwest Kansas. It was amazing and unexpected. Of all the clips that make up this film, he is the most proud of that one. It was like his world of chasing in Arizona finally collided with the universe of supercells and tornadoes on the plains.
He hopes you enjoy this film. The colors, the storms, the lightning, the twisters and the dust. It’s everything he loves, everything he is continually awestruck by no matter how long he does this.
