Simon Brewer Stormchaser and Meteorologist
|
Simon Brewer is a stormchaser and meteorologist based in Norman, OK. Born and raised in Dayton, OH Simon has been blessed with an extreme passion for weather all of his conscious life with a special fondness for severe weather. This interest in weather drove him to attain a B.S. Degree in Meteorology with Minors in Math from the University of Oklahoma, and chase the most intense storms in the world. Simon has appeared in many storm chasing related shows including The Weather Channel's "Storm Riders", "Tornado Road", and "Tornado!". Simon began chasing storms in the fall of 1999. A few of his accomplishments include: documenting the widest tornado in history (2.5 mile Wide Hallam, NE Tornado), intercepting the eyes of 3 Major Hurricanes: Dennis, Katrina, and Rita (Hurricane Katrina one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. History). Simon has witnessed hundreds of tornadoes, 8 hurricanes, 2 tropical storms and thousands of supercells in his 11 years of storm chasing! Simon's life is storm chasing; he chases tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, ice storms, supercells, hail, lightning, floods, wild fires, and other natural disasters, which will eventually include volcanoes and earthquakes. Simon enjoys sharing his love of weather and nature with the world on Stormgasm.com; connecting the world with the most awesome displays of violence and beauty the atmosphere can produce. Simon has other hobbies; running (he ran for the University of Oklahoma Cross Country team for two years), mountain climbing (he has climbed the tallest mountains in Texas, Arizona, and Idaho), he is a lover of nature, which compliments his passion for weather. Simon also plays disc golf (not ball golf), but chasing storms over shadows all of these hobbies. Simon's goal when storm chasing is to experience extreme weather phenomena, document events, and publish all essential information to help science, educate and entertain the public, and even save lives. Simon says, "Its all about the experience Baby!" Simon
