Hoadley edited Storm Track from 1977 to 1986, after which it was handed off to Tim Marshall and soon assumed a magazine format.
He has written for the World Meteorological Organization and wrote a refereed article on a tornado spawned by Hurricane David.
[1] Although he generally eschews publicity, Hoadley has occasionally allowed journalists to join him on chases or granted interviews.
He and his photographs have appeared in publications around the world, including Time-Life, National Geographic, Scientific American, the Chicago Tribune, and USA Today.
A meticulous record-keeper, Hoadley taught himself meteorology and developed a pattern recognition-based forecasting method, primarily using surface data.
