2005-08-28, JIM REED PHOTOGRAPHY SEVERE & UNUSUAL WEATHER - A team of seasoned storm photographers and researchers are converging on Hurricane Katrina to document the tropical cyclone’s full evolution.Columbia, South Carolina, August 26, 2005 – All eyes are on Hurricane Katrina at Jim Reed Photography – Severe & Unusual Weather, a science-based photo agency that specializes in documenting major storms at close range. JRP photographers and veteran hurricane chasers Jim Edds, Mike Theiss, and Mark Sudduth spent Thursday capturing photographs and video of Hurricane Katrina’s destructive landfall along the southeast Florida coastline. Today, Edds will document Katrina from the window of a National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration Gulfstream IV research jet. Theiss will travel to the Florida Panhandle after shooting damage in Key West. Sudduth, editor of the popular tropical information website hurricanetrack.com, will drive his Chevy Tahoe packed with research gear to the panhandle later today. “Our goal is to document Katrina from as many angles as possible,” says extreme weather photographer Jim Reed, founder of the agency and a veteran of 14 hurricanes. In 2004, Reed successfully penetrated the eye of all four Florida hurricanes: Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne. “Katrina is a three-part mission,” says Reed. “The approach, strike and aftermath of landfall one; the approach, strike and aftermath of landfall two; and the effect of the tropical cyclone as it moves over and up the East Coast. Katrina certainly has the potential to become one of our country’s most expensive hurricanes.” You can view the team’s frequently updated Hurricane Katrina photographs and video at: jimreedstock.com and hurricanetrack.com Upon completion of the mission, the images and collected data will be shared with a variety of research organizations, including NOAA. JRP images also appear in a number of school science books, encyclopedias and visual dictionaries. For more information, please contact Jim Reed at (316) 371-9621 or (803) 782-6226 or by email at:
