Steve McCauley - Founder and Owner of StormQuest Technologies, a private meteorological consulting company specializing in forensic meteorology as well as weather-related interactive web applications. Making its online debut in June 2005 with principal product offering, MyOwnRadar, StormQuest has been in operation since March 2005. Steve is responsible for Web design and the configuration, setup and installation of all MyOwnRadar applications.

With a B.S. degree in Atmospheric Science from Purdue University and an M.S. degree in the same discipline from Texas Tech University, Steve has always been intrigued by the complexity of the atmosphere and the attempt to understand it and to predict its future state. Having captained tornado chase operations at Texas Tech and conducting storm intercept programs in the Texas Panhandle throughout the 1990s, Steve continues to encourage the study of weather - and in particular the investigation of severe local storms - as an instructor at Richland College in Dallas, Texas. He is also one of the meteorologists on staff at the ABC affiliate in Dallas, WFAA-TV.

The principle motivation for the creation of StormQuest Technologies was the recognition that most people have an inherent fascination with the weather (which is why the weather segment consistly ranks as the #1 reason people watch the local news), but at the same time the complexity of the tools used to deliver weather information and the images they generate can be intimidating to many. Doppler weather radar, for example, is the best tool available to monitor storms from a distance, but the information-rich data can be highly confusing.

StormQuest attempts to take much of the difficulty out of interpreting weather data and present it in a clearer yet scientifically responsible manner. With clients in television and radio markets and emergency management offices from Texas to Virginia, StormQuest is bringing the power of professional storm tracking to the Home PC with meaningful imagery that anyone can understand and use to better protect life and property.

Meghan Danahey - Meghan has nearly a decade of diverse forecasting experience in television markets ranging from Tornado Alley in Wichita Falls, Texas, to Hurricane Alley in Fort Myers, Florida. She is currently one of the meteorologists on staff at the ABC affiliate in Austin, KVUE-TV.

Meghan is a native Texan with a passion for everything weather. From out in the field storm chasing to remaining in the office with long nights operating the Doppler radar, Meghan is fascinated by the complex environments surrounding severe local storms. This is the main reason Meghan made the trip back to Texas where she could once again focus on supercell thunderstorms, squall lines, severe hailstorms and tornadoes.

With her B.A. in English Literature from Texas A&M University, Meghan went on to complete her Masters in Meteorology from Mississippi State University. Meghan is now involved with StormQuest and assists in data assimilation and formatting for MyOwnRadar.
