I learned so much valuable information while on my tour, the team was very friendly and taught my wife and I how to read and understand weather models, soundings, and forecasts. and also let us be a part of picking a target! while we didn't manage to see a tornado during our trip, it was still well worth the money as we learned so much, and saw a lot of beautiful storms!

Jordan has over a decade of experience forecasting, chasing and photographing severe weather. He is a safe, experienced chaser and his passion for storms is contagious. His tours of Tornado Alley are incredibly educational, engaging and invigorating. Storm chasing with MSC is something I would recommend to anyone looking for a true adventure.

Founder/ Photographer/Chaser
Jordan Carruthers is the founder and owner of Manitoba Storm Chasers. He has been chasing storms and severe weather since he was 16 years old. Initially, Jordan started Manitoba Storm Chasers on Facebook as a way to share his adventures with others. What was once a hobby quickly turned into a business opportunity when dozens of requests flooded in from people wanting to experience the rush of chasing a storm. His first storm chasing tour commenced in 2016, which quickly became a huge success and has brought Manitoba Storm Chasers to where it is today!

Our Rig!
Our Rig!
Our Chase rig is a 2006 Hummer H3 equipped with a 3.5L inline 5 Engine, and 4x4 giving us the power we need to get to the storm while also providing the necessary strength/ agility/ and durability to escape the storm when needed. The interior is equipped with multiple tablets displaying radar and location via Radarscope. In addition, we are equipped with multiple cameras to catch the action, including our newest member the 360Fly which captures all of the action in a stunning 360-degree video!
A CB radio gives us the ability to communicate between our rigs or with other chasers in the area. This set up also doubles as an NOAA Weather Radio, with alerts to tell us as soon as a Severe Thunderstorm or Tornado warning has been issued in our area.
A first aid kit and fire extinguisher give us the ability to help out when disaster strikes.
The spacious cab ensures our guests feel safe and comfortable while on the road for many hours.
The exterior is equipped with Undercarriage Skid plates, AND 35 Inch mud and snow tires to give us the ability to tackle tough terrain when needed. The body will soon be getting a coating of Line X as well as a polycarbonate windshield to make it extra durable against hail and debris.
