This was behind the rain curtain near Chicago Ridge. On WGN, they repeated Oak Lawn and Chicago Ridge over and over.

I’ve spent almost 20 years chasing storms. Somewhere along the way, I realized I wasn’t interested in making another highlight reel.
I wanted to create a documentary series that captures what storm chasing actually feels like—the uncertainty, the miles, the decisions, the victories, the failures, and the rare moments when everything comes together.
That’s what THE REAR FLANK is.
If you’re into storm chasing, filmmaking, or long-form storytelling, I’d genuinely appreciate you checking it out. And if you have constructive feedback, I’d be glad to hear it. My goal has always been to keep making the series better.
