With over 15 years of experience in weather observation and storm chasing along with our state-of-the-art equipment, we can safely locate breaking weather stories and often be the first and only source feeding video of the event.

Please see our StormScenes Stock Video section for examples of our footage.
Midwest 64 provides the following services to news media outlets:
- Pre-contracted, on-location coverage of weather events anywhere in the USA, including hurricanes, winter storms, floods and severe weather outbreaks. We use our own cameras and editing equipment, and can feed video via internet FTP or direct dub to station decks.
- On-location telephone interviews from the 'heart of the storm', either live or recorded.
- Post-event video sales
- Stock video services through our StormScenes division.
Although most of our major event coverage is on a pre-contract basis, we frequently cover events on our own. Consequently we often have video of many major storm events available.
Midwest 64 would be pleased to assist you in providing coverage of the next big weather story for your news organization. Please call us at (314) 480-6538 for more information.
