Tornado Alley here I come!
Those of you that know me are probably aware by now that I am off to the US of A next week (27th June), minus the wife and children (woo) for a week to go storm chasing! When I say storms I am talking about supercell type storms that produce severe thunderstorms and more importantly TORNADOS! Everyone has a list of things they want to do before they peg it and for quite some time – probably about the time the movie Twister came out, I have wanted to experience/see a tornado up close and personal (i.e. at least a quarter of a mile away).
A couple of months ago I found an online company selling spaces on tours set up specifically to chase storms. As luck would have it there was a single space left on a tour that fell into a small window I was free in June/July. Having gained permission from the wife, who laughed at me and said I was mad, I booked the space that was left and a return flight to match.
