About the Project

Amidst the ferocious weather of Tornado Alley, a group of passionate storm chasers—including Tori Jane Ostberg and Jessica Moore—brave powerful storms, capturing both the breathtaking beauty and destructive power of nature. While navigating personal challenges, they shine a spotlight on the critical importance of meteorology and severe weather awareness.

Weather Women is an exhilarating journey into the heart of Tornado Alley, following fearless storm chasers as they defy the odds and inspire others to pursue their dreams. This documentary challenges the misconception that storm chasers are mere thrill-seekers, instead showcasing their vital role in collecting data for accurate storm warnings and capturing nature’s raw power to educate and prepare, not to instill fear.

Meet Tori, a heavy metal-loving mom who balances family life with the heartache of losing a close friend, and Jessica, a single mother who defies the odds after battling a life-threatening illness in 2019. Alongside them, other storm chasers share their own unique journeys and challenges, highlighting the diversity and determination within this remarkable community. Their stories unfold against the dramatic backdrop of severe weather, blending the adrenaline of the chase with the emotional depth of their personal lives.

Supporting Weather Women means bringing attention to the essential, on-the-ground work that enhances our understanding of severe weather. Through the eyes of these storm chasers, this film offers a cinematic, front-row seat to the world of storm chasing, showcasing their resilience in chasing their dreams despite the dangers and obstacles that get in the way.
