About Us

About me section  Nicholas Langley and Kristiann: Owner of Tornado Alley Weather Center My passion for weather started when I was little growing up in East Tennessee. I grew up in the mountains and I love watching the storms come rolling in from the West. I live in Tennessee, Florida and Oklahoma and have been through many natural disasters. I built this page and team for the number one purpose of saving lives and making people aware of coming weather. 

Who are we?

Tornado Alley was founded in 2009 by Brandon Goforth and Raychel Sanner. At our founding Cody Foster was part of the team as an active chaser helping the team as a secondary cameraman and with navigation. Shortly after our founding, Josh Ward joined our team as well, lending his expertise to our team. Since the initial days of Tornado Alley, we’ve added talented photographers and filmmakers to our team in Brandon Sullivan, Brett Wright, Eugene Thieszen, and Jason Caster. Each brings an array of talents including weather knowledge, exceptional photography, and (most importantly) being great people.
