==Welcome==
Welcome to my user page! My handle on here is <small style="background:#8AD;border:#369 2px solid;padding:0px 4px 2px 4px; font-family:Verdana;">[[User:Stratosphere|<span style="color:#000;">'''Strato'''</span>]]&#124;[[User talk:Stratosphere|<span style="color:#fff;">sphere</span>]]</small> but my real name is Nick. I've been on Wikipedia for over {{Age|2005|11|2}} years! My main interests on here are articles related to the transportation networks of the United States, specifically highways in Michigan and Nebraska as well as articles related to meteorology and storm chasing.

==Storm Chaser==
When the weather permits, I am an avid storm chaser. I began storm chasing in 2010 when I took a 3-week vacation to the [[Great Plains]] in search of [[supercell]]s and [[tornado]]es! On my first chase day I intercepted a tornado near [[Wakita, Oklahoma]] during the [[May 10–13, 2010 tornado outbreak]] on May 10th and since then I've logged over {{convert|185000|mi|km|0}} and spotted '''97''' tornadoes! I enjoy severe weather and chasing so much I moved to Nebraska in 2016!
===Memorable Chase Events===
Here's a quick list of a few storm chases that I put on the top of my list as most memorable:
* May 22, 2010 - saw 4 tornadoes that day including the [[Late-May_2010_tornado_outbreak#Bowdle_tornado|EF-4 wedge near Bowdle]].
* May 24, 2010 - saw 2 tornadoes during the [[Late-May 2010 tornado outbreak#May 24 event|May 24, 2010]] in South Dakota, an EF-2 tornado near Howes with a satellite rope tornado
* June 5, 2010 - saw 3 tornadoes during the [[June 5–6, 2010 tornado outbreak]] including an EF-2 that hit Elmwood, Illinois
* April 14, 2012 - saw 3 tornadoes on 3 separate supercells during the [[April 13–16, 2012 tornado outbreak]] in Kansas including the EF-4 north of Lyons, Kansas
* May 18, 2013 - saw 2 tornadoes during the [[List of tornadoes in the May 18–21, 2013 tornado outbreak|May 18-21, 2013 tornado outbreak]] including the EF-4 near Rozel, Kansas
* May 31, 2013 - saw 2 tornadoes during the historic [[2013 El Reno tornado]] event
* November 17, 2013 - saw the EF-4 that tracked from East Peoria to Long Point, IL during the [[November 17, 2013 tornado outbreak]]
* May 9, 2015 - saw 7 tornadoes during the [[May_5–10,_2015_tornado_outbreak_sequence#May_9_event|May 9, 2015 outbreak]], 5 in Colorado and 2 in Kansas
* May 24, 2016 - saw 11 tornadoes on the prolific cyclic tornadic supercell near Dodge City, Kansas during the [[May 22–26, 2016 tornado outbreak sequence]]
* June 6, 2018 - witnessed the amazing supercell and long track tornado at [[Laramie, Wyoming]]
* May 23, 2019 - witnessed 4 tornadoes during a [[Tornado_outbreak_sequence_of_May_2019#May_23|cyclic supercell]] between Lipscomb, TX and Laverne, OK
