World's most extensive and dramatic collection of weather, storm and related images for sale.

Warren Faidley has recently announced that the entire Weatherstock® Collection of still images are for sale, or lease. Faidley, the founder and CEO of Weatherstock®, says the sale of stock agencies is nothing new, but what makes this sale especially interesting is that all the images are his and they come with the package. With most agency sales, a buyer or investor is only getting a 'shell' with most images belonging to others, requiring a loss of profits due to commissions. With this collection, a new buyer gets the rights to the world's most impressive collection of weather and related pictures -- with a 100 percent profit margin. The collection can generate substantial income forever, especially if the client utilizes active marketing. The fact that most of my stills were shot on film is also a big bonus as many high-end clients want "film stills" not digital (a growing trend with high-end clients). This a very rare deal for a large corporation or an investor."

Really cool product alert!

The Twister Tube

We receive a lot of products to review here at sc.com. Everything from tornado detectors to cans of oil. Here is one of the coolest products we have seen and reviewed in years.

From the Twister Tube Website: The Twister Tube stands 15" tall with a polished glass tube, sleek black base, and water resistant lid. When filled with distilled water and our special Twister Solutionª, and powered on, a motor silently springs to life and begins turning the water. In seconds, a miniature tornado forms, drops down, and finally hovers just above the custom Twister Barª. Although this is more commonly referred to as a water vortex, it looks and acts eerily like a real tornado including the "cloud deck".

What is really neat about the Twister Tube is the ability to change colors and effects, like rainbow, flame, lightning, etc. The vortex actually forms from a lowering, into a funnel and eventual tornado. A great Christmas idea.

For more information and to order, visit the Twister Tube Homepage

About Warren Faidley
Extreme Weather Adventurer, Best Selling Author, Journalist and Storm Chasing Celebrity
        

By Laura White, national news corespondent

Warren Faidley
Warren Faidley is the worlds' original, professional storm chaser. Although he was not the first human to pursue storms, he is the first person to do so as a journalist, cinematographer and photographer -- as a full-time occupation. He has received international acclaim, awards and respect for his art and contributions to weather safety and education.

Warren is an accredited journalist who specializes in the coverage of severe weather, global warming and natural disasters. Unlike the majority of people who chase storms as seasonal, recreational or as a part-time pursuit, Warren works year round -- reporting on, photographing, video taping, lecturing, consulting and writing about all forms of extreme weather.

Over the past 20 years, he has experienced and survived some of earth's most breathtaking and sometimes violent weather. You have likely seen Warren on news programs like CBS's Early Show, CNN and Fox "Breaking" News reporting on events like the recent deadly tornado outbreaks. Warren is one of the few individuals who has experienced firsthand an F-5 tornado, a category 5 hurricane's 155 mph winds (Andrew 1992), flash floods, firestorms, incapacitating cold, baseball-sized hailstones, food poisoning, rogue waves, lightning jolts, bullets, rock-slides, enraged farmers, reptiles, sinkholes and Mad-Max-like characters along the highways -- and survived to tell the stories.

His amazing career began at age 12 after we was swept away by a flash flood. After recovering from the near drowning -- he moved on to riding his bicycle into the heart of dust devils. (Small, tornado-like desert whirlwinds). His very first tornado chase in 1987 landed him in a small west Texas town that had been swept away by a violent tornado. His professional storm chasing career was launched after he took an amazing photograph of lightning hitting a light pole in an oil and gasoline tank farm. The shot nearly cost him his life. The image was published in Life Magazine who billed him as a "Storm Chaser." Warren's "dust to gold" success story is filled with countless anecdotes of danger, adventure, romance and drama -- and along the way, his journeys have produced some of the most breathtaking images ever captured on film and video.

Warren's multi-faceted and wide ranging popularity is best illustrated by Yahoo® and Google® search engines results -- showing an incredible average of over 200,000
references to the unique search term "Warren Faidley." His combined web pages have been visited by over 12 million people since the early 1990's. Individual sales of his photography have commanded prices of over $19,000. It is estimated that Warren's adventures and images reach over 20 million people worldwide every year in print, advertising, Internet, radio and on television.

Warren was an initial motion picture consultant for Twister. Foraging through storm surges and flying debris, his stunning images of Hurricane Andrew are some of the only know still pictures of the Category 5 hurricane (in progress) as it slammed into south Florida in 1992. He was the first cinematographer ever to capture a tornado on 35mm motion picture film. (McLean, Texas, June 1997).

TIV storm chase truck In the late 1990's Warren designed and built the world's first "Fortified Storm Intercept Vehicle." The "Archangel" was a SUV designed to intercept and film severe weather and tornadoes. In late May of 2004 Warren Faidley and a team member penetrated a weak F-O tornado near Vega, Texas, becoming the first chasers to purposely maneuver a tornado-resistant vehicle into a tornado. (No vehicle can actually survive a violent tornado).

Warren has been featured in countless television specials including National Geographic Explorer, The BBC, The O'Reilly Factor and The Weather Channel. He was recently the star of a Discovery HD Theater "Risk Takers" special. His images and footage have been used by diversified clientele including Paul McCartney, NASA, MTV, The New York Times, MTV, The NFL, Sheryl Crow, Life and Time Magazines, NASCAR and USA Today. Warren has lectured for clients and organizations including; Worley International, The University of Nebraska, Raytheon, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), The American Red Cross and The National League of Cities.

Warren 
Faidley Picture Warren has worked as a severe weather expert, corporate spokesperson and consultant for news and corporate clients like CNN, DuPont, Johnson & Johnson, CBS News, Fox News, and Warner Bros. He has been interviewed by news and television celebrities including Bill O'Reilly, Keith Oberman, Tom Snyder, Craig Ferguson, Geraldo Rivera, Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes, Vicki Lawrence, Gretta Van Susteren, Maury Povich, Art Bell and others. He is a graduate of the University of Arizona (pre-law/journalism) and Pima Community College. Warren is the CEO of Storm Risk Consulting Services and Weatherstock® Inc., an internationally-placed news and footage agency.

Warren is an advocate for extreme weather, global warming and disaster education. He is the founder and Chairman of the Storm AngelTM Foundation, an organization devoted to educating and assisting children who are victims of severe weather. He has received numerous awards for his photography, journalism, educational and public service contributions, including certificates from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and a William Randolph Hearst Foundation Journalism Award. He has written two books and collaborated on over 50 literary projects, including many magazine articles and children's books. His 1996 book Storm Chaser (The Weather Channel), was a best-selling nature and science book. Released in 2006, his newest book, The Ultimate Storm Survival Handbook has received five star reviews and critical acclaim for public safety and severe weather awareness. Warren's photographs and footage are frequently used for educational and safety projects, including those of the National Weather Service, FEMA and the American Red Cross.

Warren is a pilot and a former stockcar and open road race driver. He has received an EMT-B and Arizona State Land Wildland Firefighter certifications. He is single and resides in Tucson, Arizona.
