StormSectorTM | Welcome Visitor

Welcome to StormSector, the website of Ben A, a meteorologist and different breed of storm chaser. This site is dedicated to the study, research, and operational fields of atmospheric science. StormSector was created to share information and keep in contact with my friends as well as associates in the meteorology field.


"Thanks for visiting! StormSector is celebrating nearly six years of online presence. I would like to thank everyone around the world that made this website popular. When time permits, I will post weather news, photos, links, and much more." - Ben

new Thrilling Video: A Direct Hit From Tornado
More often than not we are starting to hear people say "honey, grab the camera, I'm going out to catch me a tornado." Nothing can be more dangerous as this video proves. Tornadoes are nothing to play around with. If you're not trained and experienced, you're just putting yourself and others in danger. «more»

New StormSector Site
The StormSector website officially moved to NavaPort's server this month as part of a planned upgrade. Visitors will probably notice a completely new design as the old website was not fully CSS compliant. Upgrades are still taking place so some content may not be available until the entire database is rebuilt. Please report broken links to the webmaster.

Are You Ready For Severe Weather?
Severe weather season is here for most of us. In fact, severe weather can occur even outside of season. Now is the time to get a plan of action for your family or business. When severe weather strikes you may only have seconds to react. Plan today and prepare for hazardous weather with this free checklist.

Even a weak severe storm can cause damage creating power and traffic problems. Make sure you are prepared by knowing what to do. Your first step may be to get a NOAA Weather Radio.

Live NOAA Weather Radio Online (Free)
The National Weather Service NOAA Weather Radio system operates in all states with radio transmitters broadcasting 24 hour weather information and warnings to the public. NOAA Weather Radio is capable of sending an alert

tone designed to activate alarms in S.A.M.E. equipped models. After several requests have come into StormSector, we've found a link to online broadcasts of this system.

Online streams may not always work or be quality controlled. Some audio feeds may also be delayed. Don't rely on these streams as a warning source (only information). In addition, some links may not be operated by the National Weather Service (a third party). Click here for a list of online NOAA Weather Radio audio streams.
