Isolated strong to severe storms occurred across central Missouri on Monday, November 17, 2025, when the Storm Prediction Center issued a Marginal Threat (1 out of 5) for severe storms. The main threat from this elevated convection was hail. Around 4:30 PM, these storms moved into Mexico City, Missouri, where heavy rain and hail fell, resulting in hailstone drifts of 6.0-7.5 inches deep along the sides of the road and in parking lots. The following video shows just some of that hail accumulation in the city.
Shot Description
00:00 Wide and medium shots of hailstone drifts following strong to severe storms working through Mexico City, MO, that were at times 6.0-7.5 inches deep. A couple of shots have a measuring stick showing the depth of the hailstone piles.
00:31 A couple of close-up and medium shots showing a pile of hail around 6-6.5 inches deep.
00:46 A medium shot of the pile of small hail.
00:50 A wide shot showing the hailstone drift/piles along the side of the road with a ruler in it.
00:54 A couple more wider shots with an SUV in the hailstone piles.
01:03 A medium shot showing another large hail drift or pile.
01:08 A closer shot of a ruler in the hail drift/pile showing the pile to be about 7-7.5 inches deep.
01:12 A couple of videos show cars parked in a parking lot, with small amounts of hail piled along the curb, and a dog barking in one of the cars.
01:22 Close-up video of a hand holding a clump of pea-sized hail.

01:36 A few wide shots of the storms rolling into Mexico City, Missouri, on Monday afternoon. You can see the gray/white hail shafts on the leading edge of the storms.
01:46 A couple of medium shots of the hail working closer to the camera. The white, hazy background is the hail working closer. You can also hear the hail following in the background and hitting the camera.
01:57 A couple of wide shots of the storms being lit up at sunset. Some cloud-to-cloud lightning can be seen at times.

Want to come along on a virtual storm chase? We captured some insane footage over the summer.
We mounted an 8K 360° camera on the roof of our storm-chasing truck and captured the tornado that hit a farm in Henry, South Dakota, on July 27th, 2025.
The footage shows the tornado right after it formed, and then moved to obliterate a farm, and then moved off to the south.

On June 28, 2025, my daughter Laura and I went out on her first real storm chase to intercept the slight risk tornado setup in Eastern South Dakota.
This was Laura’s first real chase, more than an hour from home.
Laura is interested in science and photography, and wanted to see what her dad really did to see storms and tornadoes. We hit the jackpot for her to experience storm chasing from a safe distance with seven different touchdowns. The video includes both of the incredibly photogenic long-lived tornadoes that touched down northwest of Clear Lake, South Dakota, and the tornado that touched down east of Clear Lake and was on the ground to just southwest of Gary, South Dakota.
At no point were we in any danger from the weather as we approached the storms from a safe distance and from over a mile away! We were in more danger from the insane traffic with so many chasers and locals on the roads than we were from the tornadoes.

Yes, it is not storm chasing; it is car chasing, or practice video with a new 360 8K camera setup during the downtime between storm chasing seasons. We filmed this at the Brainerd International Raceway in Brainerd, MN, on a friend’s drifting car to test out the mounting setup and camera quality under extreme driving conditions.
Here is something we found in the archives for the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. While cleaning up and working on decluttering the office, we found the long-lost edits of my Five-Part Series about Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. This was initially produced for the now-defunct “Current TV” network.
It was strange after Katrina. The footage was incredible, but I had never really done any interviews about being there for 20 years for anyone, just self-produced content. Yes, I really did have walking Pneumonia and a fever while chasing the storm, and I felt like crap, but I knew it was the storm of the decade.
For those wondering, why did I give one person a ride and not the other? Simple answer: Timing. If the man on Canal came up to me with a pet the next day, and asked for a ride to somewhere nearby that was dry, I would have said get in. You have to remember that, during the storm back in 2005, professional video cameras were huge. The front passenger seat of the SUV (GMC trail rental) was a huge camera mounted on a tripod that was strapped into the seat. The back seat and cargo area of the SUV were packed with survival gear, additional cameras, camera tapes, and computers. Remember, this was 2005, not 2025, when an iPhone could be used as a Movie Camera. After the storm, when I knew I could make it out and head west to Houston, I gave away most of the survival supplies to people at the hotel and the EMS staff at the airport, so the front seat and back seats were empty the next day.
