Dallas is a meteorologist from Mayfield, KY. He chased his first tornado as a freshman meteorology major in 2016 when a less-famous EF-3 went through the north side of Mayfield. He went on to intern with NASA, NOAA, and the NWS while completing his bachelor’s degrees in GIS (aka mapping software) and meteorology from Western Kentucky University. In 2020 Dallas was awarded a graduate fellowship from the American Meteorological Society to study atmospheric science at the University of Utah under Dr. Jim Steenburgh, aka @professorpowder, meteorologist for the 2002 Winter Olympics. Dallas’ career changed focus from lake-effect snowstorms to supercell thunderstorms in Dec 2021 when an EF-4 tornado leveled his hometown of Mayfield, KY. In the summer of 2022, he participated in the Targeted Observations by RADARs and UAS of Supercells (better known as TORUS) research program funded by the National Science Foundation. During TORUS, Dallas guided a team of engineers collecting data in the inflow of supercells, such as the May 23 Enochs, TX; the May 31 Arkansas City, KS; and June 9 and 10 Belle Fourche, SD storms. After finishing his master’s program and a brief stint with FEMA, Dallas has founded Storm Chasing For Science to collect the data and train the citizen scientists that will improve tornado prediction.
