Casey's Supports Women 'Chasing' Their Dreams
ANKENY, Iowa — As the first day of spring and storm-chasing season arrives, Casey's General Stores Inc. is supporting the women who "chase" their dreams.
The convenience store chain is partnering with "Weather Women: Into the Bear’s Cage," a cinematic storm-chasing documentary by Paradeigm Films. The series, fueled by Casey's, follows renowned storm chasers as they capture the 2025 storm season in real time, offering viewers an unprecedented look at the power of nature. Filmed in a cinéma vérité style — raw, unscripted and in real time — "Weather Women" captures the true intensity of storm chasing with no second takes, according to a release.
"At Casey's, we know it's not crazy to chase your dreams — and storms — and these amazing women are proof that when an opportunity arises, you got to chase it. We're here to fuel the adventure of storm chasing season across Casey's Country," said Katie Petru, director, public relations and communications at Casey's.

Casey's Evolving Support of Women
The Weather Women story begins at the 2025 National Storm Chaser Summit in Overland, Kan., and follows the stories of Jessica Moore, meteorologist, travel writer and professional photographer; Tori Jane Ostberg, photographer and writer; and Emmy-winning broadcaster, meteorologist Jennifer Watson.
"Storm chasers are often misunderstood — seen as thrill-seeking renegades when, in reality, they are experts in weather, often highly trained meteorologists, PhDs, and researchers doing critical, life-saving work," said Stephen Brucher, owner of Paradeigm Films and the film's director. "They are the eyes on the ground, relaying vital information on severe storms and tornadoes that radar alone can't capture. Their efforts may go unnoticed, but they are the unsung heroes standing between chaos and safety."
Paradeigm Films is an independent production agency based in Kansas City, Mo., specializing in cinematic storytelling for brands.
Headquartered in Ankeny, Casey's is the third-largest convenience store retailer and the fifth-largest pizza chain in the United States. It operates approximately 2,900 convenience stores.
