Storm Chasing

Storm chasers can be amateurs or professionals, on the ground or in the air, have equipment to gather information or just observe wild weather.  All need to know how to be safe.  Vehicles, maps, and technology help storm chasers relate updates to each other and to report to radio and TV stations.  New equipment is continually developed to monitor and record storms.  Text on each page is brief but descriptive.  Photographs show equipment, tornados, hurricanes, thunderstorms, and the aftermath.  Captions accompany photos and “xtreme fact” boxes offer more details.  Daring would-be storm chasers see the variety of tasks and equipment involved in this dangerous and exciting venture.
