Hey everyone, Doug here.

I’m still reviewing the 5 hours of footage from Saturday, but I wanted to share a short highlight time-lapse video of what my 9-year-old daughter, Laura, and I saw of the tornado outbreak near Clear Lake, SD, on June 28, 2025.

This was her first time accompanying me on a storm chase, and it was one of the first real chases I’ve been on this year, as I haven’t been able to chase much due to family obligations. She counted seven (7) different tornadoes touching down before sunset.

It is safe to say the next generation of storm chasers will be amazing.

She even outdid me on the “Fn Wedge” comment from the Quinter Kansas tornado I shot in 2008, with a brand-new tagline that will make all the veteran chasers nod and salute because “Oh Dude, It Destroyed It, It Just Destroyed It!!!!”

This set the stage for hot and humid weather for the area. Hottest temperature thus far this year. This video package will show how the temperatures rose through the afternoon. The video will also show people on Rice Lake trying to escape the heat. Wind were gusting over 30 mph at times. That didn’t offer up any relieve.
