Every May, the Storm Chase Team at Penn State goes on a nine-to-ten-day road trip across the central United States with the sole purpose of storm chasing. 2022 was the first official chase since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the team set out on the morning of May 8, 2022 from the Walker Building in University Park, PA.

This year's chase was nothing short of exciting with photogenic supercells, a historic derecho, tennis-ball-sized hail, incredible lightning shows, beautiful sunsets, multiple displays of Mammatus clouds, blue sky busts, and much more. This documentary-style film showcases the trip in its entirety from leaving on the morning of May 8 to arriving back in State College on the night of May 17.
