Over the past 20 years, storm adventurer Warren Faidley has pursued, photographed, written about, obsessed over, filmed, cursed at and somehow survived some of the planet's most breathtaking and savage natural phenomenon. During his action-packed career, initially launched at age 12 when he was whisked away by a flash flood, it is likely he has experienced more assorted natural disaster events than anyone on earth -- including baseball-sized hail, flash floods, lightning strikes, blizzards, earthquakes, firestorms, an F-5 tornado and the interior of a category 5 hurricane -- the most violent of storms.

Warren's on-going, life's quest to find the "perfect storm" has rewarded him with moments of awe -- but often left him standing on the doorstep of disaster. During Hurricane Ivan in 1994, he narrowly averted death when a sinkhole open under him. His escape was made by leaping onto a chain-link fence -- as the ground beneath his feet fell into the ocean. In 1987 he photographed a lightning bolt hitting a light pole in an oil and gasoline storage facility. Although the lightning strike lifted him off the ground -- he managed to reach over and trip the shutter of the camera -- capturing the world's closest, high quality image of lightning striking an object. In 1997 he made cinematographic history when he shot the first 35mm motion picture footage of a real tornado.

Unlike the majority of "storm chasers" who are, in reality, part-timers, researchers and hobbyists who chase a few storms a year, Warren is the real deal -- a true to life, full-time, professional storm chaser and extreme weather adventurer. He was the first accredited journalist, professional photographer and cinematographer to make a successful, professional career solely from storm chasing and covering all forms of violent weather and natural disasters -- year round.

Warren's first hand experiences of outwitting dangerous weather has made him one of the most sought after severe weather survival experts, lecturers and personalities concerning storm chasing, adventurous lifestyles and global warming. His popularity is best illustrated in a Google Search -- showing an average of over 60,000 references to his unique name.
