As always, SevereStudios does not charge ANY website membership fees for Storm Spotters, Storm Chasers, and Weather Enthusiasts. We are proud that SevereStudios remains a completely free, full featured social-networking community website for Severe Weather. We also continue to offer free help to independent streamers in selling video to media by leveraging our media contacts through the well-known and respected SevereStudios brand. Our new premium streaming services also help "for-profit" Storm Chasers realize their goals. With over 250,000 Unique Visitors a year, your content will get the recognition it deserves. Our members have reported great increases in their personal website traffic after becoming a SevereStudios Member, SevereStreamer, and or an Associate Chaser. We believe in the Severe Weather community and continue to work tirelessly for you!

We have updated our dedicated streaming video website, SevereStreaming.com, with new service levels, configuration files, and more. We will be adding our tutorials and FAQs for the new streaming software choices for 2009 over the next week. Stay tuned for more information coming soon.

When considering streaming services, we hope that you will review all of our documentation and take some time to discuss the services with SevereStudios staff. Remember, SevereStudios is dedicated to serving the chasing community, the National Weather Service, and the greater public.

We encourage you to fill out your profile pages, setup your streaming account, post blogs, write comments, share videos, upload photos, and interact with the SevereStudios community! We thank you for your patronage and look forward to an exciting year! Not a member yet? Why are you waiting? Sign up today to take advantage of all the new features!
