Jason McLaughlin Career
McLaughlin has been chasing storms since 2001 and has been part of CBS News Texas since 2010. His fascination with severe weather and tornadoes began in childhood, and even in sixth grade, he was teaching weather units in class.
Witnessing the raw power of storms is awe-inspiring, but what drives him most is the opportunity to provide life-saving information to the public. While radar technology has improved, it often can’t confirm if a tornado has touched down. Being on the ground allows him to relay critical information in real-time, potentially saving lives.
Unfortunately, storm chasing can attract inexperienced individuals, causing safety hazards. He urges people to enjoy storms safely from home and to seek training from their local National Weather Service if interested in becoming spotters.
McLaughlin’s most memorable tornado experiences include witnessing two tornadoes in Happy, Texas, in 2002. The second tornado struck the town, resulting in loss of life. In 2013, he narrowly escaped a massive tornado near El Reno, Oklahoma, which tragically claimed the lives of three scientists. This event reinforced his commitment to safety and caution in storm chasing.
