Transcript

Lori Grace Bailey (00:00.78)
All right, now that it's recording, I'm going to get started and I'll bring you in as soon as I do a quick intro here. So three, two, welcome back to another episode of the Storm Before the Calm podcast. I'm your host, Lori Grace Bailey, and I have special guests today. Lucy Young, Lucy, the name Lucy Young is she's a store, a young storm chaser. And I got to know who she was because the last two podcasts, I interviewed the people who I interviewed.

The last two times in the previous podcasts were Brandon Clement. No, not Clement. See how I messed that up. Brandon Coppick. There's too many Brandon's in Storm Chasing. I'm going to do this whole thing over again. I'm going to make this a lot faster. Brandon Coppick and Paige Birdimus. Yeah, that's it. All right. So let's just try this again. See how easy this is. Three, two. Welcome back to another storm before. Boy, I am really skipping today.

Lucy Yeung (00:36.871)
You're good.

Lori Grace Bailey (00:58.264)
Three two one welcome back to another episode of the storm before the calm podcast I am your host Laurie grace Bailey and this is actually take three of this try I have a really great guest today. Her name is Lucy young Lucy is a young storm chaser and when I was speaking with You see that trying to reconnect

Lucy Yeung (01:21.904)
Yeah, it is so bad. I could not hear anything you were saying. Yeah, I that's definitely an issue on my end. It's super windy here. And when it gets super windy, my Wi Fi is terrible.

Lori Grace Bailey (01:25.73)
Really?

That's weird.

Lori Grace Bailey (01:32.576)
Your, no, yeah, I think that's on your end, because I have a really crystal clear connection on my end. that make sense?

Lucy Yeung (01:41.094)
Okay, if it keeps persisting, I can try disconnecting and connecting to my hotspot if needed.

Lori Grace Bailey (01:46.986)
Okay, that might have to happen, but that's so funny. We'll just restart again. And like I said, as long as I'm talking, as long as you can make out what I'm saying, but yeah, it's good on my end and I can actually hear you. I think the download on your end is gonna be the harder part. You actually seeing me or hearing me. Sorry, I mean, it is what it is, huh? All right, we'll do this one more time. Three, two, one.

Lucy Yeung (02:05.842)
Mm-hmm.

Lucy Yeung (02:10.088)
Absolutely.

Lori Grace Bailey (02:14.594)
Welcome back to another Storm Before the Calm podcast. This is actually take four and I am your host, Lori Grace Bailey. I have a special guest today, Storm Chaser Lucy Young. I found out about Lucy, even though I've seen her online and seen some of her weather reports online and I saw some photos with her and several other people at the recent Storm Chase convention. Two different people who I interviewed recently in other podcasts, Brandon Coppick and Paige Bertimus.

Both talked about Lucy ironically or coincidentally at different times on different podcasts Lucy you seem to be kind of famous out there. Welcome to the podcast. I just wanted to say hi

Lucy Yeung (02:56.178)
Thank you so much for having me.

Lori Grace Bailey (02:58.774)
I'm excited to talk to you. What's going on? Like, how did you get all of a sudden so popular around here in the storm chasing community?

Lucy Yeung (03:08.518)
Well, so I've always been fascinated with weather as many other weather nerds would say. back after the total solar eclipse, I decided, why don't I just upload these videos to Twitter and these videos, pictures to Twitter. And from then on, I saw all these incredible future meteorologists, including Adeline Spears, Storm Chaser Alina Cooper, and all these other people making these weather reports. I'm like, hey, I want to try that.

Lori Grace Bailey (03:13.645)
You

Lucy Yeung (03:36.272)
And that's exactly what I did and here I am now.

Lori Grace Bailey (03:39.95)
So when, how long ago was that?

Lucy Yeung (03:42.992)
I'm this April I think it's two years.

Lori Grace Bailey (03:47.034)
wow. Where have I been? mean, she's I mean, I knew I followed you, but I guess I didn't see your reports or anything. But you you actually went to the storm, the National Storm Chaser Summit recently. And it seems like you were in every picture. What's up with that girl? Like, I think everybody knows you at this point. I would. Is that a fair assessment? You probably took a photo with everybody. That's good. That's good. And.

Lucy Yeung (04:08.712)
would say a lot of people do.

Lori Grace Bailey (04:13.73)
Brandon even gave you credit for getting him to go. Did you know that? I don't know if you knew that, but... you did?

Lucy Yeung (04:17.914)
I did listen to that, yes. I mean, I wouldn't say that. I mean, I maybe said, it'd be great if everybody could meet you, but that's pretty much what I said.

Lori Grace Bailey (04:25.93)
Wow. You know, that's awesome though, because you had the wherewithal, right, to reach out and say, hey man, you you're important and we'd love to see you and we'd love to, not just me, but other people would like to see you. And you took the chance, right? I mean, how cool is that to be able to just go for it? I think that's what excited me about hearing about your...

you know, your recent notoriety, so to speak, just hearing your name repeatedly, that tells me that you're someone that's not afraid to ask a question or afraid to ask. And if you get told no, no, am I right? Like, are you just going to ask the question? Are you assertive like that?

Lucy Yeung (05:05.672)
Mm.

Yes.

Lori Grace Bailey (05:10.158)
That's great. And how did you come to be that kind of person? How old are you? You're only 16 right now at this age, right? How did you get to be such a go-getter at this point?

Lucy Yeung (05:17.873)
Yes, correct.

Lucy Yeung (05:22.224)
Well, thanks to a lot of super supportive chasers and meteorologists in the weather community, there's like you have to shoot your shot or else you're never going to get anywhere. And thanks to Brandon and him being so supportive of me and the next generation, here I am now being able to ask these questions, talk to these meteorologists and storm chasers, because at the end of the day, they're just like everybody else as cool as they may be.

Lori Grace Bailey (05:32.243)
that's cool.

Lori Grace Bailey (05:45.602)
That is so true. And isn't it the coolest thing? for you, you're probably going, that's Brandon, you know, that's Brandon Coppick or that's Paige Burtemis or all these other people, right? And you know, the Stormfront Freaks people that you got to meet and be on their podcast also. And if only I could go back in time and go, don't be afraid, right? You know, what would you tell other people that are up and coming? I know we'll probably get to that question again later, but you know, there are a lot of other younger chasers.

I love what you said. Could you expand on that a little bit more? shooting your shot. Don't be afraid, right? How did you come out of your shell, you know?

Lucy Yeung (06:21.06)
Mm-hmm. There. Yes, there are so many supportive people of the next generation because within 20 years, we are going to be this generation of storm chasers and meteorologists mentoring the next generation of storm chasers. And that's something I'm always thinking about in the back of my head. I actually had one girl reach out to me yesterday on Twitter. She's like, how did you get into weather? I'm like, my gosh, is this already happening? And all these storm chasers are going to be so incredibly

helpful to you. mean, there's so many amazing people out there who again are so supportive of the next generation. All you have to do is send them that DM, ask them that question in the comments section, anything like that.

Lori Grace Bailey (07:03.682)
That is so cool. And yes, you are already becoming like that. And I think anybody can, right? I really think that it's so difficult initially though, when we're first growing up and we're not even that many of us like myself who has struggled with mental wellness and some other issues, Self-confidence, would you agree that self-learning to have a strong self-confidence is not an easy, even at your age, you're still getting out there, but have you always been this confident?

Lucy Yeung (07:34.12)
Absolutely not. I mean, I think that's just something I built through my weather reports through attending these last two National Storm Chaser summits. At my very first National Storm Chaser Summit, I was hiding behind one of my friends the entire time. I was so scared to talk to people. And now here I am. I wouldn't say I'm super confident because I don't want to be that person that has the big ego. But at same time, I'm confident enough to be able to get my foot through that door and let people know who I am.

Lori Grace Bailey (07:34.19)
Really?

Lori Grace Bailey (07:49.143)
No way.

Lori Grace Bailey (08:04.065)
Gosh, I love that. So you admit that it's not easy to take that step and to kind of flower, right? To take that step and reach out.

Lucy Yeung (08:15.045)
Absolutely.

Lori Grace Bailey (08:16.558)
You know, that I see in your character, and I'm sure you have role models, positive role models in your family or your friends, but it takes a while to step into that. You seem to be someone who is eager to take up space, right? know, storm chasing is a predominantly male hobby or science or whatever you're gonna talk.

Lucy Yeung (08:35.464)
Mm-hmm.

Lori Grace Bailey (08:43.426)
do whenever you're storm chasing, right? Me, I'm a photographer. I love the photography and the videography aspect of it. So for me, there's a little bit. I would love to contribute to the science somehow, but learning to take up space is not an easy tasking. It's not an easy way to do that. And oftentimes we have to stumble into that. How did you learn to take up space? If you know what I mean by the term taking up space.

Lucy Yeung (09:10.664)
I mean, I'm just following the mentorship of these other incredible female storm chasers out there. Again, as you said, it's a male dominated field. We have to make our impact somehow.

Lori Grace Bailey (09:19.214)
It's so cool.

Lori Grace Bailey (09:26.446)
Can you make it like can you you make these answers so easy like you just you answer so truthfully But it's is it really that simple though. I mean you're getting out there and and Just boldly charging forward right you're you belong is what you're saying right just like anybody else What about those people who are it doesn't matter? You know what what their their gender is but what about people who are struggling to feel like they fit in? What would you tell those people that were you know that are like?

Lucy Yeung (09:46.29)
Mm-hmm.

Lori Grace Bailey (09:56.898)
I don't know if I belong here, man, you know?

Lucy Yeung (09:59.56)
I will say when I first started my Twitter account, whenever I first started posting on social media, I'm like, is this really the right thing? Do I really want to be doing this? Do I fit in? As you said, and I think with time, you slowly realize that, this is the place I want to be. The weather community, for the most part, is so supportive and you are going to find that support in your weather community and your family and your friends. And that is truly just the most important part. If you're able to get their support.

Lori Grace Bailey (10:07.651)
Yeah.

Lori Grace Bailey (10:20.664)
Yeah.

Lucy Yeung (10:29.384)
The sky's the limit, truly.

Lori Grace Bailey (10:33.182)
You know, I love that. it's almost like, you know, some of the questions I have about adversity, have you experienced that kind of stuff? Normally these kind of questions in this podcast, sometimes we focus on some of the deeper, the darker themes that we go through. That's hence the storm before the calm podcast, right? When you get to, when you actually get to a storm, and I know I have a picture of your, you in a tornado or a tornado photo that you captured, right? And some supercells. So you've been to the storms.

But the storm itself, like storm chasing, that's actually the calm part of the podcast, right, of the storm before the calm. Have you had personal adversity that you had to overcome?

Lucy Yeung (11:13.626)
In the weather community, not so much. In my everyday life, yes, because there's a lot of people, especially in high school, will say, you like the weather? That's nerdy. You're weird. And sometimes you just have to push through that. And eventually at the end of the day, you're going to make it so incredibly far if you're able to push through that. Throughout your entire life, you're going to be hitting those roadblocks, and you have to have some way to overcome them.

Lori Grace Bailey (11:26.701)
Yeah.

Lori Grace Bailey (11:38.53)
You know, I remember high school in the late 80s. Yeah, that dates me. I know I'm old as whatever you want to call it. But, you know, even high school in the late 80s, I was such an introvert. Do you consider yourself an introvert or are you kind of outgoing?

Lucy Yeung (11:55.226)
I'm a mix of both.

Lori Grace Bailey (11:56.846)
Same, same. I like to be outgoing, but it's really challenging. And I think that I'm just doing it, just like you said. I feel like I deserve to take up space, so I'm doing it and just putting myself out there as well. Because we can make a positive impact as well, right? I think you're doing that. You're doing that especially in a way of reaching out to someone that has a need. When I spoke to Paige and Bryce,

By the way, if you all haven't seen Paige's, Paige and Bryce's episode, go back and watch that episode. They are currently chasing right now in Illinois, chasing some super cells as we're speaking. But when I was talking to Paige, she brought you, she mentioned you, she brought up that she was going through some health issues and that you reached out to her telling her about your dad having a specialty in that. you elaborate maybe just a little bit on that? She was, she's actually very open about it. So it's not like a, you know,

hush hush type of thing. She's very glad that she got the help. But it was because of you, by the way. Again, it was because you reached out and said, hey, I see a connection here. I think I know someone who might be able to help you. Can you elaborate a little bit on that?

Lucy Yeung (13:10.554)
Mm-hmm. So I saw her post. gosh, this back in October, something like that. No. August, I think on her post about endometriosis, how she had to wait until January. And my dad is actually an endometriosis surgeon. And I'm like, hey, dad, there's this person that's having to wait until January, February for their surgery. I'm like, is there any way you could fit her in sooner?

Lori Grace Bailey (13:28.622)
Wow.

Lucy Yeung (13:40.712)
And my dad's like, maybe. So I have never talked to Paige in my life before this. So I decided to shoot my shot, as I said, and I just sent her a DM. like, hey, my dad's an endometriosis surgeon. Here's his website. And I hope he can help you or whatever surgeon can help you to the best of your abilities. And here we are. say we are pretty good friends now. She is such a role model and mentor for me.

Lori Grace Bailey (13:43.67)
No way. What? Are you serious?

Lori Grace Bailey (14:04.131)
Yeah.

my goodness. I actually thought that you guys like were on speaking terms before for you to let her know about this. So you didn't even know who she was or you didn't know her personally. That's that's so cool. And she responded. And then how did that all work out? Was it was it did it happen pretty quick after that?

Lucy Yeung (14:14.106)
Mm-mm. Yeah, no, not personally.

Lucy Yeung (14:25.582)
Yes, my dad actually had a six month waiting list. Actually, if you could cut that out. I don't know if he wants that included or not.

Lori Grace Bailey (14:30.542)
Oh my goodness. Okay. Yeah, no, no, cause yeah, no worries. I'll cut that out and then we'll come in in three seconds. You can actually come in when you're ready and then we'll, cut that out. Don't worry about it. So three, two, here we go. All right.

Lucy Yeung (14:36.071)
Mm-hmm.

Lucy Yeung (14:42.852)
Okay. So.

So Paige had messaged my dad and applied for a consult back in think August, September, whenever I reached out. And then by October, she already had her surgery done. So within the span of two to three months, she was already starting to feel better.

Lori Grace Bailey (15:05.944)
So because of your connection, let me fix that now. So you were eager to get Paige the help that she needed and you knew someone that could actually do that. That was so kind of you though to see the need and meet the need. That's a phrase I've learned to use. When you get older, you see a need, meet a need. My father never taught me that.

But I met a lot of good people in this world so far. You know what I mean? And those are the kind of people that tell me when they do something for me and I want to pay it back, these are the same people that say, Lori, just pay it forward. I don't need it in anything in return. I don't need money or this or that. Just pay it forward. Do something good for somebody else and keep that positive vibe in the world going. And the same thing applies here as far as just

Lucy Yeung (15:37.222)
Mm.

Lori Grace Bailey (16:03.084)
reaching out when you can and doing those things when you see the need, meet a need. And it's really cool that you do that. You did that with Brandon as well to get him to come. You probably thought it was nothing right to get him to come to the meeting, to the storm chaser.

Lori Grace Bailey (16:22.232)
How was that? Like, how long have you known Brandon?

Lucy Yeung (16:25.608)
Ooh, he was one of the very first people that actually followed me on Twitter. I'm like, oh, look at this cool storm chaser that followed me. That's sick. And again, as I said, that was two years ago. And then one day he was driving up near my area in Eastern Missouri. He's like, hey, I'll be in your neck of the woods. Would you want to meet up with your parents? Of course. And I'm like, absolutely. So I got to meet him back in May. It was actually a week after the

Lori Grace Bailey (16:31.443)
how cool.

Lori Grace Bailey (16:48.386)
Yeah.

Lucy Yeung (16:55.29)
Sorry. I got to meet him back in May, was a week after I saw my very first tornado. So we just met at a Love's Gas Station, I got to meet him for the first time and it was amazing.

Lori Grace Bailey (17:07.77)
Isn't that cool that the people that you see on TV or online or streaming somewhere like they're just normal people and I think I wish that don't you wish that more of us actually saw every one of us as just normal people instead of like when I saw Reed first time I finally got to meet Reed gave me a big old hug and he had promised like Lori I know we keep missing each other out in western Oklahoma somewhere on on bus and this and that but he finally texted me I'm gonna be here and I finally got to see him

It was just the coolest thing. He was just, there were a hundred other people around him, mind you, but he was still just, he was still just another person. And to me, that was the coolest thing because I love Storm Chasers. I've only seen the series like every single year because I love the drama, not real drama, but the Discovery Channel drama, right? But isn't that the coolest thing? How do you mentally challenge them? Mentally prepare yourself.

for the challenges you face when you're getting after it. What are some of the things that you've learned? Because even at 16, you've already learned to step into your power, right? You step into power. How did you learn to do that? how did...

I said that right the first time. Let's go with that. How did you...

Lori Grace Bailey (18:28.76)
How do you mentally prepare? Let's see, now I'm stumbling all over. I normally don't stumble this bad, it's funny. How do you mentally prepare yourself for the challenge you face in some of your pursuits? You've already done it, you're already chasing storms and seeing supercells and all this good, cool stuff. How do you get prepared for that?

Lucy Yeung (18:48.644)
When preparing, I think the most important thing, because a lot of the stuff I do is reporting, which I really, really love. I have a deep passion for that. And I think it's so important to just be yourself out in the field. Everybody has their own niche, as Matthew Capucci would say, and you have to find that. That's the only way to succeed in this weather community.

Lori Grace Bailey (19:02.957)
Yeah.

Lori Grace Bailey (19:11.854)
I love that because when you're doing your reports, you're just you, right? You're just being authentically you. How important is that for you to let others know that this is who Lucy Young is, you know? That I'm not trying to be anybody to anybody else, anybody different. I'm just gonna be myself. How important is that to you? explain why that that's an important way of moving forward.

Lucy Yeung (19:36.998)
That is really, really important to me because at this young age already, I'm already trying to brand myself to let people know who I am. that, again, having that niche is the only way to make it, especially in this super competitive field of weather, of meteorology. And it's just truly being yourself, letting those people know that, I'm not just this laid back kind of person that only makes weather reports. I get super excited whenever there's a shelf cloud behind me and I'm reporting on

Lori Grace Bailey (19:43.532)
Yeah.

Lori Grace Bailey (20:05.358)
Right.

Lucy Yeung (20:06.008)
or whenever the wind is super, super strong and I'm screaming, it's just truly all part of the fun.

Lori Grace Bailey (20:09.602)
Yeah.

Lori Grace Bailey (20:14.252)
It doesn't, it doesn't ever get old by the way. Like I still jump up and down. do an Irish jig when I see a, an epic shelf cloud or when you see the shelf, you kind of go, no, is it, is it becoming a, you know, is it becoming outflow based? then the storm could be dying, right? Or it could just be a outflow based storm. And you're not, you're not dealing with the inflow and possible tornadoes and you know, the continuation, but it's still exciting, right? Each and every time you go out to chase a storm.

Do you sometimes find yourself when you're underneath a storm? Do you sometimes find yourself just completely lost within yourself and within the storm? How does that feel to actually go out there and storm chase for other people that might, maybe they haven't, they've never done that and they don't understand what us two nerds are talking about, right? They don't get it.

Lucy Yeung (21:04.712)
To be able to storm chase or even just standing near a thunderstorm in your backyard, almost for me, my brain just goes quiet. That's all that I can focus on is the storm, is the structure, is the lightning, is the rain. It's just everything about it. I'm just fully entranced by the storm.

Lori Grace Bailey (21:24.03)
I can see it on your face that, you know, when was the last storm that took your breath away? When was that?

Lucy Yeung (21:31.024)
Ooh, that's a good question. I would have to say it's that one sunset shelf cloud that I sent you. That was taken back in November. That was like the last structure that I really had. I'm so excited for spring and severe weather season though.

Lori Grace Bailey (21:32.91)
you

Lori Grace Bailey (21:40.749)
nice.

Lori Grace Bailey (21:48.632)
Well, you were already reporting on a little bit of hail right from your house, right? Just the other day, that was cool. you brought up Matthew Capucci, by the way. I hope I pronounced your name right, by the way, Matthew. you got a couple of cool things you just revealed yesterday in a box. That was a cool thing. You want to share a little bit about that? How did you get that?

Lucy Yeung (21:51.4)
Lucy Yeung (22:07.216)
Yeah, so I had the opportunity to talk to My Radar, their entire table, everyone who works with them at the National Storm Chaser Summit, and they so generously decided to send me and my friend group these boxes full of goodies that had so many cool things in them, including a My Radar t-shirt, these 3D printed hailstones, which I actually have right here.

Lori Grace Bailey (22:24.078)
you

Lori Grace Bailey (22:29.612)
No way. my gosh.

Lucy Yeung (22:32.923)
This is mumbo hail as Matthew would say. And I'm so grateful for that. And now I can take all of this stuff out in the field and use it.

Lori Grace Bailey (22:41.026)
That is so cool. By the way, I'll take a free hat by the way. No, just kidding. I love my hats. I love all the different things, but that is so cool that they sent that to you. Is there a, so you got to meet Matthew as well at the Storm Chaser Summit? that how you ended up making that connection with My Radar?

Lucy Yeung (22:59.578)
Yes, and they actually were the sponsors of the National Storm Chaser Summit this year. So they had a big table. I got to talk to their team. They had tons of free stuff. I actually got those hail glasses that you might have seen me wear in that hail weather report. So they had that and it was just a great opportunity to be able to network.

Lori Grace Bailey (23:07.572)
cool.

Lori Grace Bailey (23:13.733)
yeah, yeah, that's cool.

Lori Grace Bailey (23:19.96)
You know, I have to admit too, and this is a little aside, but I wasn't able to make the summit. And then when I was watching some of the clips, that's when they stood up and they said, Hey, the whole summit's going to be, it was sold out, but the whole summit is going to be live streamed. So there I was cleaning house all weekend long, getting to see Edgar, the storm chaser talk about mental wellness and getting to see a Skip Talbot and Andrew with Guido Relly. Sorry if I messed up her last name, but all these different

awesome speakers coming up. I got to see the whole thing, including the awards and all the cool stuff at the end. You know, I got to see all of that. It looked like everybody was really having a great time. I've been hearing the same thing over and over from people who have been chasing for years, as well as to new younger, younger storm chasers that there was a lot of younger storm chasers, by the way, who were there, but that it was a really great time. There was very little drama.

And there was a lot of people just connecting and just building relationships and cool stuff like that. Thanks to my radar for doing that, by the way. It gave me an opportunity to see you all having a great time. And even though I wasn't there, I could kind of live vicariously through that. How cool was that to meet so many people? Was that your experience too, by attending the summit? What was your experience?

Lucy Yeung (24:39.496)
So I attended the summit back in 2025 and this year in 2026. I'm so grateful that my dad was able to take me to go and do that because that was a trip this year flying out to Colorado, but it was so worth it. We actually had to leave a day early, but that did not take away anything that I was able to learn at summit. It is just truly the best experience that I will ever have, I think. Like there's something special about meeting those chasers under the meso, but at the same time,

Lori Grace Bailey (24:46.882)
So cool.

Lori Grace Bailey (25:03.114)
Really? man.

Lucy Yeung (25:07.804)
Having 700, 800 people in one room, just being able to talk to them. You're not worried about this storm, this tornado coming down, anything like that. You're just talking with them. You're having conversations with them. You're getting their chasing advice, anything like that. And they are so open. They're so willing to share any information that they may have.

Lori Grace Bailey (25:14.658)
Yeah.

Lori Grace Bailey (25:28.782)
So you kind of already answered your own question or my question earlier about how you've grown through your experiences, right? You know, even at this point, you started off being the shy person, you know, two years ago, standing behind other people. And do you feel like your confidence has grown tremendously or a little bit incrementally? How have you grown through all of this?

Lucy Yeung (25:49.296)
yes. I mean, like I said, I was super shy at my very first summit this year. I was actually one of my first friends or

Lori Grace Bailey (25:52.238)
Wow.

Lori Grace Bailey (26:00.994)
You can restart, no worries. Three, two, let's do this. I'll let you count down. Whenever you wanna start, you can just go three, two, and then take a pause, and then you can start. And I'll edit all that out.

Lucy Yeung (26:03.685)
at some.

Lucy Yeung (26:11.536)
Okay. Three, two. So at this summit, I mean, I've been able to grow so much compared to the last summit. Like I said, I was hiding behind my friends. This year I was actually one of the first people to get there at summit within my friend group. So I was there alone just talking to chasers, just networking with people. was actually walking inside to the hotel. I get out of my car, Josh Morgerman, the famous hurricane chaser is just right there. I'm like, hi Josh.

Lori Grace Bailey (26:36.734)
super cool.

Lucy Yeung (26:38.824)
what's up and he immediately knows who I am because I talked to him last year at some it was so great to see him and it was pretty much just like that the entire night I was at a booth with some of my friends who finally showed up later and then Brandon Coppett calls me over to a conversation with Matthew Cappucci and another chaser that I'm forgetting right now but we just had conversations like that the entire night

Lori Grace Bailey (26:42.508)
No kidding.

Lori Grace Bailey (27:01.122)
That is so cool. know, like were you like fangirling at first and then they're like, no, you're part of us, right? You're not so we're not we're not somebody different, right? We're not we're not someone special. Come on. Come and be a part of this this this conversation.

Lucy Yeung (27:16.208)
Yes, I mean, my first moment, man, I was fangirling a little bit, but then getting to know Paige and getting to know Brandon, I finally realized, I'm like, these are your typical everyday people, as cool as they may be. Reed Timmer and the Dominator, Brandon Coppett getting all of these incredible tornadoes. But at the end of the day, they're regular people. And that's just kind of what went on in my head this year. I mean, I was on Fox Weather even during that. like, these people are regular people. And

Lori Grace Bailey (27:29.41)
Yeah.

Lori Grace Bailey (27:37.89)
Exactly.

Lori Grace Bailey (27:43.308)
Very cool. Yeah.

Lucy Yeung (27:45.806)
that really helped me build my confidence and that's something so important to remember especially in this weather community.

Lori Grace Bailey (27:52.546)
You know, I can tell that you've also practiced and the more you speak, the more you're in public and the more you're just putting yourself out there, the more eloquent you're becoming. I still struggle with stuttering a lot, you know what I mean? I still struggle with the uhs and the ahs. You seem to give a little bit of pause before you speak. Even in your weather.

What are we calling it here? Your weather presentation. Yeah, your weather reports, sorry. Even in your weather reports, you seem to be very articulate. Do you have to practice at that or does it just seem to come naturally?

Lucy Yeung (28:21.326)
weather report.

Lucy Yeung (28:32.648)
So I mean, I think you have to have some talent to be able to do that, to be able to stand up in front of a camera and record videos. But with time also comes experience. mean, some days I can record my weather report first try. Other days, it takes me up to 15 tries. It really just depends on the day, honestly.

Lori Grace Bailey (28:46.062)
yeah.

Lori Grace Bailey (28:53.806)
Really? Okay. So I'm not alone then. I'm not the only one that screws up and then has to go back in and redo it 50 gazillion times. Okay. All right. So I guess that's something that we all do then. We make mistakes, we fix them, then we move forward, right? My dog in the background, by the way. What?

Lucy Yeung (29:12.381)
Mm-hmm.

Lori Grace Bailey (29:17.524)
Is your most exhilarating moments in you've been chasing what couple of years now, but what has been your most exhilarating moment that you've experienced while chasing or maybe it was a different adventure.

Lucy Yeung (29:29.224)
So I would say, I mean, I just got my license this year, so this is my first real chase season. But, real good. So my most exhilarating experience was probably my first tornado last year. It actually happened in my backyard, which was just absolutely insane. I'll elaborate more on that later. But that was easily the most incredible experience, honestly.

Lori Grace Bailey (29:34.783)
Look out world.

Lori Grace Bailey (29:46.83)
in a way.

Lori Grace Bailey (29:51.053)
Yeah.

That's pretty epic. That is pretty, pretty epic. And so how far have you chased then in the last couple of years from where you live?

Lucy Yeung (30:05.22)
If you count going to the beach as a vacation and seeing a shelf club there, that's technically chasing the storm should follow you. But locally, I think the most I've gone is 15 miles that was chasing after this tornado. After it kind of recycled, we went north with my dad about 15 miles. And that was pretty much it for my chasing experience because a lot of those storms last year just came to my doorstep. So there was no need to chase.

Lori Grace Bailey (30:08.366)
Sure.

Lori Grace Bailey (30:31.762)
I love that you just shared that though. You know why? Because I live in a town in Southern Arizona that is, I like to call this monsoon central, right? Like outside of my door, we had three thunderstorms yesterday. How many pictures of lightning did I get? Zero, because I didn't know what I was doing. I put my camera away, I said, it's all gone. And then lightning bolts are raining down all around like 30 minutes later. well, at least I stayed warm and I got to enjoy, you know, a nice warm evening. But

It's okay not to have to travel 4,000 miles just to chase a storm, right? Like you live in an area where the storms literally happen over you. And I just think that that's important. Also, it's expensive by the way, storm chasing can be really, really expensive and not everybody has enough money to chase. But I also know a lot of people who are really cool. They still love the game. They still love the storm chasing, but they don't go very far, right?

And I just think it's okay. I think we should normalize saying, hey, if I'm not able to chase far, then that's okay too. And then if I get the opportunity at some other time, eventually I'll chase. Now that you have a car, by the way, like I said, look out world. I'll probably see you in Oklahoma or Eastern New Mexico, maybe Colorado this year, if you get out there.

Lucy Yeung (31:53.944)
Mm-hmm. I think I'm definitely going to focus on local chasing this year, but within the next couple of years you will see me out there.

Lori Grace Bailey (31:56.942)
Okay. Okay, good. All right, cool. Are you going to build a dominator or are you going to do something like that?

Lucy Yeung (32:05.084)
Those are plans that I'm not going to share yet, because who knows.

Lori Grace Bailey (32:07.374)
Awesome. I love that. I love that. You know, I would like to take a look at some of these photos too. I'm going to bring them up. So what about people who are, I bet you know people in high school that are going through some personal challenges as well, right? And you seem to have had the support system to help you get there. Were there friends, family? What kind of support structure did you get?

Or did you reach out to when you needed help?

Lucy Yeung (32:40.648)
So especially like in the weather community, some days you just have those days that you're like, I don't want to do this anymore. I'm going to delete my social media accounts. I'm done. I'm giving up on weather, especially struggling in high school through those academic struggles specifically. I'm terrible at math. I'm terrible at science. And there's some days I'm just like, how am I ever going to make it this far in a field that's dominant with math and science?

Lori Grace Bailey (32:45.431)
totally.

Lori Grace Bailey (32:50.241)
You

Lori Grace Bailey (33:06.168)
Yeah.

Lucy Yeung (33:10.618)
I think it really just comes to pushing through. You're always going to have those bad days and you're always going to have those good days. And sometimes you'll have those in-betweens. But honestly, in those hard days and in those good days, equally, you need to be continuing to push through and knowing and having confidence in yourself that you will be able to do this someday, that you will be able to make meteorology a dream career.

Lori Grace Bailey (33:15.246)
Hmm.

Lori Grace Bailey (33:34.092)
that you know I wish I had learned that when I was your age as well and you seem to have already you have a treasure trove of wisdom that you bring with you and it makes sense to me why other people seem to to light up around you because you bring that light with you and I just think that that's an awesome thing and I think other people are going to listen to what you have to say because you you do bring that light with you you know what I mean and age matters not as far as I'm concerned you have these aspirations and

And speaking of, have you made a decision or do you have an idea of what kind of career path you want to take?

Lucy Yeung (34:14.684)
I definitely could see broadcast meteorology being in my future. I'm not a huge math and science person, like I said, so I don't think research would necessarily be for me as cool as that is. I would love to be able to storm chase part-time, but realistically, I think broadcast would definitely be a big option.

Lori Grace Bailey (34:18.21)
Cool

Lori Grace Bailey (34:33.58)
You already are eloquent and you already have that wherewithal to just take a step into that power. I definitely see that as a possibility. You can speak more eloquently than I can. I stutter through more things than you do. And I love it. I'd love to bring these. Let me bring this photo up here. Let me share the screen. By the way, this is when you look through bifocals when you see people do this.

Lori Grace Bailey (35:07.084)
Window right there. Okay, so we have a few photos that are your favorites and I'd love to take a look at these. What do we have here? And just tell us a little bit about, they might not be the prettiest photos you've ever taken, but I always ask people share photos that have significance to you, right? And mean something more to you than just a like or a follow on a Twitter page, right?

Lucy Yeung (35:31.78)
Yes, 100%. This was a picture taken near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on my 2025 beach trip there. We were getting these little pop-up thunderstorms every day, which is typical, especially if you're along the coast of South Carolina. And yeah, those are cool and all, but I was just waiting for that time where I would get this beautiful shelf cloud. And that actually happened, as you can see in that picture, my very last day at the beach. I'm like, my gosh, there's this line of storms coming that's moving out to see I have to go to the beach.

Lori Grace Bailey (35:37.966)
nice.

Lucy Yeung (36:01.298)
to get this picture and that's exactly what I did.

Lori Grace Bailey (36:05.006)
You know, you also have a lot of the principles for photography here as well. The beach, the waves that are crashing upon the beach, not the weech, the beach are actually leading lines, right? These are basics of photography, as well as the white part or the lighter color of the beach and the houses. They go down towards the shelf cloud. The shelf cloud is your subject, but the beach

the waves, everything kind of leads you into that picture. It leads you into the storm. I really think that's a really great shot too. I'm sure you took others, but this really is a clean shot of a really cool storm that's approaching. Is that kind of how you felt? Oops, here we go. What about this one?

Lucy Yeung (36:47.314)
Thank you.

Lucy Yeung (36:51.944)
So this was my first time seeing the Northern Lights. This was taken in my front yard. I live definitely in a not so populated area. So I didn't really have to deal with that battle of light pollution, even though people in light pollution on May 10th, 2024 were able to see the Northern Lights. And I mean, you can just see for yourself how incredible that was.

Lori Grace Bailey (37:08.407)
Nice.

Heck yeah. I actually could see this from Arizona on May 10th of 2024. captured. Yeah, it was that bright that it actually reached this far. I didn't see those pillars looking up like you did though. This is really cool. Like how high were you seeing these when you stood, when you were standing up? Cause that's above the tree line. So was it overhead?

Lucy Yeung (37:17.175)
wow.

Lucy Yeung (37:33.454)
Mm-hmm. think I went to bed early. I went to bed at like midnight because I had school the next day. But at one point I do believe they were overhead and that was just incredible. You could see all the reds, the pinks, the greens just dancing in the sky.

Lori Grace Bailey (37:51.064)
So Lucy, are you now, would you consider yourself an aurora chaser like other storm chasers too? If you get a chance. There you go. I love it. Now what's this? I was trying to figure out what this is from my own limited learning over the last few years, but this looks like an inflow maybe, an inflow band or a shelf cloud. This could be shelf, but it looks like an inflow band leading up into a bigger storm. You tell me what it is.

Lucy Yeung (37:57.01)
Chasing for my front yard, yes.

Lucy Yeung (38:20.466)
So I think this was taken in either 2024 or 2025. That's my bad for not remembering. But from what I remember, I mean, I woke up at 6 a.m. I was getting ready for school and I just see this outside. I'm like, what is it? I believe this picture was just very lightly edited or completely unedited. I think this was a cold front. I could be wrong because there were no storms nearby. So it could have been inflow, anything like that. I mean, it was just beautiful.

Lori Grace Bailey (38:34.413)
Very cool.

Lori Grace Bailey (38:39.576)
Mm-hmm.

Lori Grace Bailey (38:43.297)
Okay.

Yeah. Okay. Good. When you said morning, then I started to see it and the, the, the wispiness of the out of the, of the, of the clouds on the bottom, but then you have a little bit of convection at the top end of it. So it could be a cold front with a, you know, or maybe a warm front even with a, with a, with a clouds underneath kind of a coalescing and condensing down there. So I don't about Cameron, Cameron, or somebody else would be like, Laurie, you totally got it wrong, but that's okay.

Now I know what this is, but this is a great shot. Monster storm, right?

Lucy Yeung (39:19.72)
Thank you. Yes, this was back in November of 2025. This is completely unedited. I was tracking these little thunderstorms pretty much the entire day. Ignore the power lines. That really irks me. But again, I was tracking. That was a terrible voice crack. So yeah.

Lori Grace Bailey (39:32.258)
That's okay.

Lori Grace Bailey (39:39.458)
Yeah, I heard it. heard the little eee. You win R2-D2.

Lucy Yeung (39:44.284)
Three, two. So I would. my gosh, this is what happens whenever I make weather reports. Three, two. So I was tracking these thunderstorms back in November of twenty twenty five and they were slowly moving to my area pretty much the entire day sitting at school, just watching these storms move slowly and slowly closer. They were just creeping. I mean, they must have been moving at maybe 10 miles per hour because it felt like forever.

Lori Grace Bailey (39:50.382)
It's all good.

Lori Grace Bailey (40:13.783)
Wow.

Lucy Yeung (40:14.906)
And then finally they arrived. It wasn't severe warned, wasn't special weather statement warned, anything like that. And there's just this incredible structure. I mean, we really cannot get anything better than that for November.

Lori Grace Bailey (40:20.45)
Mm.

Lori Grace Bailey (40:26.146)
Yeah, definitely.

You almost have some Kelvin Helmholtz right here. Did you notice that as they're rolling over? I don't know if you can see that. You got some, you almost got some KH going here with the undulation here. That's awesome. And you said that wasn't even a severe warrant or anything, huh? Fantastic. and pole lines or power lines bother me all the time too, by the way. This looks like a little nadir.

Lucy Yeung (40:34.161)
I did, yeah.

Lucy Yeung (40:48.592)
Nothing.

Lucy Yeung (40:58.284)
Mm-hmm. This is easily my favorite out of these. This is my very first tornado and the backstory behind this was kind of crazy. So this happened on May 19th at 8 or 3 p.m. That's whenever I had to call it into the National Weather Service of st. Louis But we were originally just getting this rain shower and I was outside playing ping-pong in the garage with my dad and then the rain kind of lightens up so I'm like, why not look at the sky because I'm a nerd and I look off to my south

east and there was this gorgeous wall quad with crazy rising motion. It was easily one of the most impressive things that I have ever seen. I should have included that in there.

Lori Grace Bailey (41:34.54)
Wow.

Lori Grace Bailey (41:39.611)
Did your dad know what was going on or did you have to explain to him? Like, no, don't you understand? That's a wall cloud.

Lucy Yeung (41:44.871)
So he was like, oh, what is that? I actually said originally, if you go back to my socials and play the video, you can hear, I'm like, what is that? Little did I know it was a wall cloud. But my dad actually had an idea as well. I've dragged him along for the journey. He attended the spotter classes with me and the National Storm Cleaser Summit too. So the storm kind of had a handoff in the, what's the word that I'm looking for?

Lori Grace Bailey (41:56.301)
Wow.

Lori Grace Bailey (42:02.51)
training. Yeah.

Lucy Yeung (42:11.144)
in the rotation. So the storm kind of north, moved over my barn actually. That was a little bit scary. I'm glad nothing touched down there. And then due north, this funnel drops and I was able to put my drone up. That was a really, really cool experience. It was just there for, think the National Weather Service had it as 8.01 to 8.03 or 8.02 to 8.04 PM. So it was just there for two minutes. And it really just gave me.

Lori Grace Bailey (42:19.896)
Right.

Lori Grace Bailey (42:28.002)
Very cool.

Lucy Yeung (42:38.342)
an opportunity to look at the sky and understand what happens within a storm. And then the National Weather Service ended up rating it as an EFU. Enhance Vegeta Unkown.

Lori Grace Bailey (42:48.782)
Nice. Heck yeah. And that's exciting too, you know, to be there, but to also identify it and then jump quickly, right? Cause storm chasers, it's hard to sometimes see what's going on and then having things register, right? Like with me, I'll see that as well. And I'm like, you have to jump at it. You have to take quick action because these things can dissipate. Most tornadoes don't last, you know, 10, 20, 30 minutes.

they're really quick or they might be partially condensed like this one. can see, I love that there's like two hooks on this tornado, know, and it's not fully condensed and there's like two little hooks of condensation as it's building towards the ground. It happens fast and you captured that. So that must be a proud moment for you, isn't it?

Lucy Yeung (43:35.496)
absolutely. mean, first tornado in the bag. didn't know if the National Weather Service was going to rate this or not, but in my backyard. And the crazy thing was this wasn't even in a thunderstorm risk, which was a little bit insane. saw, I pulled up on my phone, my radar app. I'm like, why is this thing rotating? There should be nothing here. But little did I know there was. And as I said, I had to call that into the National Weather Service to get a tornado warning on it. So that was another really proud moment.

Lori Grace Bailey (44:06.526)
I love to see that. You know, and the excitement that you have on it, it doesn't get old. I'm sure the chasing, you know, a lot of chasing gets old. A lot of the driving, a lot of the convergence can get old, and a lot of the disappointments can get old, right? But you just got to keep at it. You got to keep after it. And by the way, those people who say that it's kind of nerdy to love weather or to love clouds and all the cool stuff like that,

You know, those people don't know what it's like or they haven't yet experienced what it's like to be connected one with the storm, right? Isn't that a great experience? Don't you wish more people could experience kind of what we experience? It's almost surreal.

Lucy Yeung (44:52.134)
a hundred percent. I really wish, as you said, more people could just experience and get excited whenever the sky booms, whenever you hear a clop of thunder, whenever you get this insane cloud to ground lightning bolt. It just makes me so excited and I wish more people could understand that.

Lori Grace Bailey (45:10.262)
Now you have siblings. they into storms like you or are you the only one?

Lucy Yeung (45:18.087)
I'm thinking about dragging my sister to come with me to the National Storm Chaser Summit. I have four younger siblings and I think one of them could potentially be a nerd like me. We'll see. We'll see if her knowledge develops.

Lori Grace Bailey (45:21.422)
you

my goodness.

Lori Grace Bailey (45:28.526)
You

Lucy Yeung (45:33.864)
It's been a long day. All right.

Lori Grace Bailey (45:35.701)
I can tell you're okay. You're fine.

Lucy Yeung (45:38.226)
three, two, one. So I have four younger siblings and I think potentially one of them could be interested in this guide just a little bit. So I'm potentially going to take her to the next National Storm Chaser Summit, get her involved with all of these incredible chasers and hopefully her passion will take off from there.

Lori Grace Bailey (45:59.582)
That's so cool. Are you so you are you the oldest one in the family? That's awesome. So you you have potential to to share the share the same passion are your younger siblings? Passionate about other things as well. Do they have that same kind of passion? Does that run in the family?

Lucy Yeung (46:02.802)
Yeah.

Lucy Yeung (46:18.152)
think they're as driven as I am to love something so incredibly much, but they all have their own little things that they love.

Lori Grace Bailey (46:21.302)
Okay.

Absolutely. We all grow into it, right? Just like you said, even from the timid Lucy from two years ago, standing behind somebody to someone now who isn't afraid to just get out there, put herself out there and maybe take 15 takes to get a video, right? But you just have to do that. You have to take up space. Do you feel like you belong when you're in the presence of so many other people?

Lucy Yeung (46:49.768)
I truly think I do and sometimes it's all you have to do is tell yourself that. It's like I belong here. I'm a nerd along with everybody else in this room. And yes, I may be younger. I'm the next generation. But at the same time, I am here. I am a part of this next generation.

Lori Grace Bailey (47:09.09)
Heck yes, I do not know how to even end this even on anything else other than you saying you're there to take up space, you belong and y'all heard it from her mouth over anything I could even come up with. That was fantastic. I love to hear that motivation. I love to hear that energy from someone like you who is just going for it. When I was young, I loved watching old tornado videos, right? Except they're on VHS tapes. I don't even know if you even know what a VHS tape is.

but they were the ones that people would record. You ever see videos of like the old dads carrying a big camera on their arm? Those kind of tornado videos. And I was so enamored with tornadoes. I wanted to be a tornado chaser. I wanted to go to Texas Tech and be a, and life takes you in a different path, but you're never too old to chase your passion. And you're never too young to chase your passion. And I think you exemplify that. There goes the microphone, but you're never too young. Lucy, would you say to a bunch of?

you know, all these new younger chasers who are also wanting to do, you know, the same things that they're seeing so many other people do successfully. What would you say to your peers, right, who are maybe they're your age or maybe they're a little younger and they want to go for it?

Lucy Yeung (48:29.424)
I think it's so important. I know I've said this so much on this podcast, but to be yourself and to not let other people try to define who you are. Sometimes I'll get these little haters in my comments trying to say, you can't do this. You're not going to be as good as the generation right now. And you have to have thick skin in the weather community and you have to be able to ignore those comments, move on and truly just be yourself. Don't let other people try to tell you.

Lori Grace Bailey (48:34.67)
It's okay.

Lori Grace Bailey (48:42.606)
you

Lucy Yeung (48:57.948)
who you are supposed to be.

Lori Grace Bailey (49:01.518)
I love that. think we're going to end with that as well because we're, you know, you're so young, but yet you're so wise beyond your years to be able to understand that those simple rules of authenticity, there's nothing that can stop you if you know who you are and what you're trying to do. I think the more that we all come together, you know, I think that the more that we can come together in those kinds of meetings like the Storm Chaser Summit, the more we can get together when we're under a MISO.

the more that we're connecting online and just trying to lift one another up, I think overall we're going to see less and less people who fall through the cracks, Depression and there's other mental challenges that so many of us face and yet too many people don't bother to speak up, right? They're the ones who always stay in the back. So I just wanna encourage you and everybody else to just continue chasing your passion. It's such a...

a breath of fresh air to see people like you just going for it. And so it's been a pleasure for me to have you here listening. Brandon was totally right. And so is Paige and Bryce. They they were right on the money when they said you need to interview Lucy. Do you have any any final things you want to share with with the folks who are listening in?

Lucy Yeung (50:21.928)
First of all, big thank you to you Lori for having me on this podcast. And a big thank you to Paige, Bryce and Brandon for recommending me to be on this podcast. And again, as I said, you are able to do this in a field that may seem scary. Having all of these other chasers, it's so incredibly competitive. But if you are to be yourself, you will go so incredibly far.

Lori Grace Bailey (50:28.354)
Right.

Lori Grace Bailey (50:47.95)
Well, you heard it from from her. you say I just messed up to you. You heard it from Lucy's own mouth, y'all. And it's fantastic that we have people like that. Lucy, it's been great. I can't thank you enough for coming on the podcast for the folks of you who are just listening in, you know, on Apple and and Apple and Spotify podcast. You might want to check the video version out because we've got some really cool pictures that we shared that Lucy shared with us.

I mean for the rest of you, do like and subscribe and all that good stuff. Lucy, where can we find you though? Are you just on X right now? Where else can we find

Lucy Yeung (51:24.264)

Lori Grace Bailey (51:33.48)
LWX24 on YouTube. Are you posting videos there? Because I don't think I've subscribed to you there. Okay.

Lucy Yeung (51:38.29)
occasionally I will like especially for long form videos I'm going to be uploading a video on the National Storm Chaser Summit soon so if you guys want to see that definitely go to that YouTube channel.

Lori Grace Bailey (51:47.117)
cool.

And hopefully we'll see some more video, maybe collaborations with My Radar WX. Hint, hint, Matthew, people listening in on that end. Wink, wink, right? Would you be interested in doing that, working for someone or for a group like that, a really cool group of a team like that?

Lucy Yeung (51:56.69)
Yes.

Lucy Yeung (52:10.115)
absolutely. I'd be honored to be able to work with those kinds of people.

Lori Grace Bailey (52:14.67)
I see that happening in your future. that's your goal and that's your passion, pursue it for sure. Lucy, again, thank you so much for being on the podcast.

Lucy Yeung (52:25.938)
Thank you, Lori.

Lori Grace Bailey (52:27.928)
Thanks everybody, that'll be it for this one. I've got several other people in line. This podcast is just growing and it's especially important that you understand what we're trying to do here. I'm nervous when I do these and people like Lucy who steps into her own power, I love that someone like her is willing to just come in here and share those things from her heart and that's what we're all trying to do here is to lift one another up to spread.

authenticity to spread our own self-confidence and to maybe lift each other up so that we're not down in the dumps as much as it seems like the world wants us to be. So shine your light while you still have it. Lucy is a bright and shining light and I can't wait to see where she is going from here. So make sure you follow her on all that stuff. You can follow the Storm Before the Calm podcast and all that good stuff. But y'all take care. Lucy, we will see you under the Miso hopefully sometime this year. Take care everybody.

Lucy Yeung (53:23.25)
Yes.
