The thrill of capturing a dramatic lightning strike or a swirling wall cloud through the lens of a camera adds another layer to the storm chasing experience.

Shared photographs and videos often become another bonding point, allowing participants to reflect on their adventures long after the tour ends.

Hi, I’m Alan from Orange County, California, and I’m excited to be chasing again this year with Todd as I have nearly every year since 2002. I’ve been a weather junkie all my life, but being a native Californian, I’ve always lived in the absolute worst place for it. I can remember, as a child, staying up all night in hopes of just catching a flash of lightning or a rumble of thunder from our infrequent thunderstorms. That’s why I look forward year-round to when spring rolls around so I can once again witness the incredible spectacle of some of the world’s most severe weather in the Great Plains. I’m taking an extended break from work life and doing a lot of international travel while concentrating on two of my favorite hobbies: scuba diving and underwater photography.

# Storm Seekers: storm chasing adventure tours in Tornado Alley

Have you ever experienced the surge of exhilaration as a large storm cloud looms on approach? For some, this is a passion that pushes them to seek out the most potent events in nature, not only a brief flash of adrenaline. Enter the domain of storm chasing, where weather enthusiasts and adventurers join together to witness the raw power of Mother Nature firsthand.

The Allure of Storm Chasing

Storm chasing is a special fusion of science, adventure, and reverence of nature’s wrath, not only about the excitement. As storm chasers, we get to witness amazing lightning strikes, large supercell thunderstorms, and, indeed, even tornadoes. Beyond the thrill, though, storm chasing is absolutely vital for developing knowledge of severe weather patterns and strengthening early warning systems.

Storm chasers find Tornado Alley ideal as it is located in the center of the United States. This region is well-known for experiencing numerous tornadoes and extreme weather conditions. It primarily consists of states such as Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and sections of Texas. Professional meteorologists, as well as amateur storm aficionados, find this region a hotspot because of its special topography and temperature, which provide ideal circumstances for storm formation.

Tornado Alley: The Storm Chaser's Paradise

### What to Expect on a Storm Chasing Adventure

Starting a storm chasing trip feels like entering a real-life weather documentary. You can expect the following:

- Professional advice from experienced storm chasers who understand safe and efficient storm tracking will be with you.
- Learn about storm creation, radar reading, and cloud identification in Weather 101.
- Experience the excitement of tracking storms across the broad plains and see as they grow and get stronger.
- View mammatus clouds, wall clouds, and maybe even a safe distance tornado from here.
- Connect with other people who enjoy the weather over common experiences and breathtaking events.

![](https://stormchasing.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/iStock-1176812112-676x1024.webp)

### Safety First: The Golden Rule of Storm Chasing

Although professional storm chasing trips put safety above all else, the concept of pursuing storms could sound dangerous. Tour companies implement rigorous safety procedures, keep a safe distance from violent storms, and employ sophisticated forecasting systems. Remember, the objective is to respect and see the force of nature rather than to endanger oneself.

![Severe Weather Chasers](https://stormchasing.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/iStock-858837068-1024x683.webp)

### The Best Time for Storm Chasing

Storm chasing in Tornado Alley usually peaks from late April through early June. The atmospheric conditions during this period are ideal for the development of supercell thunderstorms, which are the kind most prone to generating tornadoes. Nature does not, however, usually follow a set timetable, hence chances for exciting storm chasing could present themselves all during the spring and early summer.

Preparing for Your Storm Chasing Adventure

Here are some suggestions to bear in mind should you be thinking about going on a storm chasing trip:

1. Dress appropriately. Layered clothing and suitable shoes are essential.
2. Bring a camera so you may record the amazing views you will come upon.
3. Arrange water and snacks. Days of chase might be long and erratic.
4. Stay flexible. Plans may shift at the last minute; weather is erratic.
5. Keep an open mind; every chase is different, and not every trip will cause one to see a tornado.

Storm chasing goes well beyond personal excitement and greatly advances our knowledge of severe events. Storm chaser data enables meteorologists to enhance forecast models and warning systems, therefore, perhaps saving lives in places vulnerable to storms. Many chasers also publically share their knowledge and experiences to increase awareness of severe weather safety.

The Impact of Storm Chasing

### Summary

Storm chasing presents a special fusion of scientific contribution, adventure, and education. A storm chasing trip in Tornado Alley might be the adventure of a lifetime whether your interests are in the weather, adrenaline sports, or just something different. This is an opportunity to learn about catastrophic weather events, see the genuine power of nature, and develop fresh respect for the forces sculpting the temperature of our world.

Welcome to America’s first storm chasing tour company. Since our founding in 1997, we have been America’s longest-operating storm chasing tour company. I have exceptional forecasting and logistical skills, I have been featured on National Geographic Television and media outlets worldwide, including BBC Television during Twister Week live. I have been fascinated by severe storms and tornadoes since I was six. I have been chasing severe storms since 1991. This was before the internet existed. The real skill is forecasting and storm chasing without real-time data, as we have previously done. The others would be lost, not knowing where to go because they always had a working app for that. There are two kinds of storm chasers: “App storm chasers” and real storm chasers that can read the sky without needing the internet for real-time data. We have the skills to keep chasing when the internet goes down or does not exist. We have experience in that scenario and can guide you out of a dangerous situation if needed and not not panic in a dangerous situation and make good decisions in real-time.

# Capturing the Perfect Tornado: Photography Tips for Your Tornado Tour

Visualize standing on the open grasslands, camera in hand, as the sky dulls and a funnel starts to develop. This is the moment tornado chasers live for—the opportunity to grasp nature in its most formidable shape. Tornado photography blends the thrill of the chase with the art of photography, proposing a unique blend of adventure and creativity.

Understanding Tornado Behavior

To successfully photograph tornadoes, a fundamental grasp of their behavior is essential. Comprehending where and when tornadoes are feasible to form allows photographers to position themselves safely and effectively. This knowledge isn’t just vital for grasping amazing pictures; it’s also essential for your safety in the volatile environments where tornadoes occur.

The unpredictability of tornadoes mandates potent and adaptable camera equipment. A DSLR or mirrorless camera with a speedy shutter pace is perfect. Lenses should range from wide-angle for expansive storm landscapes to telephoto for detailed funnel shots. Stability is key, so a sturdy tripod can be indispensable when capturing long-exposure scenes as storms develop.

Selecting the Right Equipment

Safety First: Preparing for the Chase

Safety cannot be overstressed. Before heading out:

Confirm you’re prepared with a well-planned route, a dependable vehicle, and communication devices.

Stay instructed with real-time weather updates.

Always keep a safe distance from the tornado, and have an escape route planned for immediate evacuation if the storm switches paths.

![](https://stormchasing.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/tornado2010-768x1024.webp)

### Timing Your Shots

Capturing the perfect tornado image often boils down to timing. The moments before and during a tornado’s formation are critical. Watch for signs like rotating clouds and sudden calm; these can precede the tornado’s appearance. Being inclined at the correct moment can make the distinction between a pleasing picture and a stunning one.

### Composition Techniques in Storm Photography

Composition in tornado photography can dramatically affect the impact of your shots. Use the rule of thirds to position the tornado within the frame for balance. Include elements like damaged structures or striking cloud formations to give context to the size and power of the tornado.

Post-Processing Tips

After the chase, post-processing can improve your captures, fetching out details and shades that may not have been observable in the raw footage. Use editing software to alter contrast, sharpness, and saturation to reflect the scene’s intensity as you experience it.

Sharing your pictures with a society of storm chasers and photographers can be immensely rewarding. Feedback will help you refine your strategies, and noticing others’ work can illuminate new techniques and strategies for your successive chase.

Sharing and Learning from the Community

# Behind the Scenes: How Storm Chasing Tours Operate Safely in Tornado Alley

Nothing perfectly matches the heart-pounding excitement of observing a tornado whirl majestically across the plains, specifically when you’re safely within a storm chaser’s mobile. Tornado chasing in Tornado Alley merges astonishing natural spectacles with high-stakes meteorological analysis. Yet, the inherent risks of such adventures demand rigorous safety protocols and precise planning to ensure everyone’s safety.

The Science Behind the Storm

Comprehending the meteorological dynamics of Tornado Alley is essential. This region, notorious for its frequent and fierce tornadoes, has become a hotbed of activity due to exceptional geographical and atmospheric states. Storm-chasing tours count diligently on advanced meteorological predictions and real-time data to stalk storm developments and steer safely.

Safety is the linchpin in the operation of storm-chasing tours. Rigorous protocols, such as maintaining safe distances from storm centers, using GPS tracking, and employing constant communication, are non-negotiable. These measures are vital for minimizing risks while allowing participants to experience the awe of tornadoes up close.

Key Safety Protocols for Storm Chasing

The Role of Advanced Technology

These days, storm-chasing cruises are outfitted with the most leading-edge scientific and technological equipment. The chaser’s gear is incomplete without Doppler radar, satellite phones, and mobile internet, which allow them to remain ahead of the storm. This technology not only stalks weather patterns but also ensures communication lines are available and emergency services can be accessed if required.

### Expertise and Training of Tour Guides

Directing a storm-chasing tour needs not just a devotion to meteorology but also a deep-seated dedication to safety. Tour leaders are often seasoned professionals with years of experience in the specialization. Their extensive training in emergency response and weather forecasting is paramount for the safe conduct of these tours.

### Real-time Decision Making

In the field, decision-making can be as volatile as the weather itself. Tour guides must make rapid judgments based on changing conditions to keep their groups safe. This might mean altering routes or canceling excursions based on the latest weather updates and forecasts.

Community and Education

Beyond the joy of the hunt, storm-chasing tours play an essential role in educating the public about intense weather safety. By partnering with meteorological professionals and institutions, these tours help to convey valuable learning that can save lives and property in tornado-prone zones.

The impact of experiencing a storm up close is profound. Many participants leave with a greater appreciation for the power of nature and the importance of meteorological science. Personal anecdotes from past tour-goers often highlight transformative experiences that combine adrenaline with enlightenment.

Personal Stories from the Field

As a young boy, Anthony would huddle under the bed covers at night, watching the lightning flash through the edges of the shade and listening to the rumble of thunder as it shook his house. Today, after a 25+ year career as a special agent with the U.S. Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security, Anthony has traded in his handcuffs to pursue his dream of chasing thunderstorms across America and seeing a tornado drop from the sky. This will be his fifth year of storm chasing with Todd; his first year was filled with beautiful lightning bolts, manure-filled windstorms, bruising hail, and days filled with adventure. His hobbies include photography, learning to play the piano, and scanning the sky for storm clouds. He looks forward to sharing adventures and stories with you as we go storm chasing.

When the weather turned nasty and everybody headed for cover, I headed outside to watch the clouds roll in. Chasing tornadoes is the next logical step. I’m Nancy Young, and I make my home in St. Louis, Missouri. I am a wife and mother to three grown sons. Severe weather, from blizzards to hurricanes to earthquakes to tornadoes, has fascinated me all my life. Chasing with an experienced guide like Todd Thorn allows me to view a tornado in the safest way possible.

Despite living in England, my most anticipated trip of the year is to meet up with Storm Chasing Adventure Tours. Storm chasing is a hobby for me, as I am the managing director of a travel company where we aim to send people where the weather is good. I have always been fascinated by severe weather, and as a youngster, I dreamt of seeing a tornado. Sadly, in the UK, the worst we ever get is severe thunder and lightning, and when this happens, I can usually be found outside (which my family thinks is mad). I am also an enthusiastic photographer and enjoy the photo opportunities that arise while chasing storms. I am excited to see you out on the Plains.

I’m Tobi from Frankfurt, Germany, and the tour 2024 is my 6th storm-chasing adventure with Todd. It is always fascinating how powerful the weather can be at Tornado Alley, blue skies in the morning and a rotating thunderstorm a few hours later… fantastic… and it is good to know that Todd is a very experienced guide and safety is always a priority. The tours are not only about the weather; the people and the “road trip feeling” make these tours very special. I’m looking forward to meeting you at Tornado Alley!

Frequently Asked Questions

## Questions about our Storm Chasing Tours

We often receive inquiries regarding our storm chasing tours. To assist you, we’ve compiled the most frequently asked questions and provided answers on this page. If you have a question that isn’t addressed here, please send us an email through our Contact Us page. We’ll respond promptly when we’re not out chasing storms, and if we are, we’ll get back to you as soon as we’re available.

Will I see a tornado during my storm chasing vacation?

We certainly hope for that! While we can’t guarantee you will encounter a tornado on your storm chasing adventure, it ultimately depends on the atmospheric conditions. We can promise that you’ll witness storms and severe weather, but the specific elements necessary for thunderstorms to generate tornadoes must align perfectly. For this reason, we can’t assure you of a tornado sighting. However, we are committed to doing our best each day to put you in the path of the most impressive storms, thereby enhancing your chances of experiencing a tornado. In addition to the excitement of storm chasing, our tours provide the chance to visit locations featured on television and online, learn from experienced professionals, and connect with fellow storm enthusiasts. Who knows, you might even meet someone special and create unforgettable memories, just like some of our previous guests who found love and got engaged in the presence of a tornado!

What is a typical chase day like?

A typical day of chasers starts with a morning weather briefing for all tour guests before we leave the hotel. This briefing aims to update you on the day’s potential for severe weather and our travel plans. We usually aim to depart the hotel around 9:30 AM (central time) and wrap up the day by 9:00 PM (central time). While these times can change based on weather conditions and the distances we need to cover, they provide a general outline for the day’s activities. Expect to spend an average of 6 to 8 hours in the vans or SUVs. At times, we may experience long waits for storms to develop once we reach our target area, so be prepared for this scenario before the chase starts. Whenever possible, we try to wait in locations that offer food, drinks, and restrooms.

How far do you travel during the week?

Our team is committed to delivering exceptional storm chasing adventures for our customers. We ensure that you are taken to the optimum locations to witness severe storms and tornadoes, whether they are nearby or farther away. Our personalized tornado tours give you the chance to photograph stunning storms and document tornado events. Based on the weather conditions, we may journey through Tornado Alley or concentrate on local chases in Oklahoma, Kansas, and other surrounding states. Typically, we cover distances of 200 to 400 miles each day and range from 1500 to 2500 miles weekly to guarantee that your experience with us is truly memorable.

Where will we be chasing?

Our storm chasing tours focus on all tornado alleys, spanning the expansive prairies of Eastern Colorado, the western portion of Kansas, Nebraska, Eastern New Mexico, the western part of Oklahoma, South Dakota, and the western half of Texas. Our in-depth understanding of these areas and their severe weather trends makes them our primary focus. While we typically operate within these regions, we may occasionally explore areas beyond our usual chasing boundaries. Nevertheless, we prioritize your safety by choosing locations with open prairies and minimal tree cover, ensuring you have clear views of these incredible severe weather events.

What are the risks involved with chasing severe storms?

When pursuing severe storms and tornadoes, it is crucial to acknowledge the potential dangers and prioritize safety. Like any travel, traveling through Tornado Alley and searching for severe weather comes with its own set of hazards. Our foremost priority is ensuring the safety of everyone on the road, including ourselves as storm chasers and other motorists. Nevertheless, we aim to position ourselves and our passengers in optimal spots to safely witness the storms, capture breathtaking photographs, and record incredible videos. It’s essential to recognize that some storms may introduce additional threats, such as lightning or flying debris. In such cases, we focus on the safety of our passengers by implementing necessary precautions and adhering to safety protocols. By doing this, we can continue to pursue and revel in the thrill of severe weather while ensuring everyone’s safety.

Which tour date will have the best potential for seeing a tornado?

Our storm chasing tour dates have been scheduled to coincide with the peak of tornado season, giving us equal opportunities to witness a tornado. Ultimately, whether or not we see a tornado will depend on the weather patterns during our tour. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to predict what those patterns will look like months in advance when the date of your tour arrives. Even forecasting tornadoes can be challenging just a few days prior due to the numerous micro-scale processes involved in tornado formation. In May, storm activity tends to focus on the southern states, while by mid to late June, storm tracks shift to central and northern states such as Nebraska and South Dakota. One year, we experienced 22 tornadoes in the third week of June. Therefore, the tours in June can be just as exciting as those in May.

when do you send my hotel information?

Hotel information will be emailed to you in January of the year your tour takes place.

How many vans do you operaate per tour?

We can definitely accommodate additional vans on a tour, but doing so compromises the tour’s safety, our ability to move efficiently, and ultimately, your experience while storm chasing. No one enjoys waiting for 45 minutes at a fuel station with only one restroom while a large group takes turns answering nature’s call. We’ve discovered that managing more than two vans becomes quite challenging in storm conditions, and we prefer to remain in close proximity for safety purposes.

How many customers are in each van?

We consciously restrict our capacity to just six guests per van. This is why our prices are slightly higher; we focus on delivering an exceptional experience. Each guest is guaranteed a window seat, so you won’t have to deal with any elbows poking into your sides! Additionally, the van features an open aisle for added comfort!

Do customers get their own seat?

We operate our tours using spacious passenger vans. Each of our storm chasing vans was originally built to accommodate a minimum of 12 passengers, which provides ample space in the back for luggage. However, we limit our capacity to a maximum of six passengers per van to ensure your comfort. As we travel long distances, your comfort is our priority.

What does the tour fee cover?

The tour fee includes our services, such as transportation and accommodation, but does not include your flights, meals, or any incidental expenses. It’s advisable to budget around USD 40 each day for your meals and other miscellaneous costs. Generally, transportation between the hotel and the airport is arranged by the hotel.

What discounts are available?

We offer a discount for double occupancy for two people sharing a hotel room during the tour; however, you must secure your roommate prior to booking with us. Additionally, group discounts are available. All discounts will be automatically applied at checkout during the booking process.

Do you live stream?

We experimented with it but concluded that it was too distracting. We prefer to concentrate on the storms, driving, and ensuring your tour is a success.

Does the storm chasing tour include hotels?

Yes, you’ll need to cover the cost of the final night’s accommodation when we return to our base city at the end of the tour.

The tour package includes all hotel stays while you’re with us, as well as accommodations on the day you arrive. We strive to book nationally recognized hotels and motels, typically from chains like Choice Hotels, Best Western, and Wyndham (for instance, Clarion Inn, Comfort Inn, Quality Inn, Mainstay Suites, La Quinta Inns and Suites, Days Inn, Super 8, and Best Western, with occasional stays at Hyatt properties).

Occasionally, when we’re in major cities like Oklahoma City or Wichita, Kansas, we aim for more upscale accommodations. However, during our storm chasing activities across rural regions of Tornado Alley, our hotel options become limited. While we work within a budget for our lodging during storm chasing, we always seek national hotel brands when it’s possible.

Please keep in mind that you won’t spend much time in hotels, as storm chasing involves lengthy driving days. We typically do not stay in one hotel for more than a single night during any tour. Our priority is to ensure you have a clean, comfortable room and access to a shower.

What does a typical day of storm chasing involve?

Storm chasing is anything but predictable; there’s no such thing as a “typical” day. Each outing brings its own distinct challenges, highlighting the need for a skilled team to lead your expedition.

Our day generally kicks off with a morning weather forecast that helps us identify a region where storm activity is most likely. Following this, we gather our group and hit the road, traveling through Tornado Alley towards our chosen destination.

As the day progresses, the atmosphere remains dynamic and ever-changing, allowing us to narrow down our target area. We combine storm chasing technology, our collective experience, and gut instinct to fine-tune our focus, frequently adjusting our target area, which means ample driving is involved.

Once we identify a developing storm, we’ll devise our strategy for safely intercepting it and securing the best possible vantage point to observe any potential tornado formation. At this point, the distances between our stops typically shorten, sometimes only a few miles apart. Each time we pause, our team assesses the safety conditions, and if everything checks out, we can experience one of nature’s most powerful storms up close while capturing the moment with our cameras.

Our day starts in the town where we concluded the previous day. Our tour director analyzes data meticulously—often with a cup of coffee in hand in his hotel room. By mid-morning, he’ll have pinpointed a promising area for severe weather, gathered the group, shared insights on the weather forecast, and laid out a plan of action.

Be ready for that plan to change frequently since the atmosphere’s fluid nature means our chasing strategy must be adaptable!

Driving and waiting are the two primary activities of any storm chase day. While we’re on the move, we typically have a solid understanding of where we need to be and when. In contrast, as we wait, we’re already positioned in the target area, eagerly anticipating the right moment to spring into action. The waiting can be less exciting, as storms often develop in remote locations without the amenities we usually enjoy.

For example, we might find ourselves spending a considerable part of our day at a truck stop within our target zone, which provides some comfort with access to restrooms, food, and beverages. When conditions start to heat up and our chase begins, get ready for a lot of driving!

It’s important to monitor your fluid intake throughout the day to stay hydrated, but be cautious not to overdo it, as restrooms can be few and far between once we’re on the road!

I,m trying to arrange my flight, can you make any recommendations?

We strongly suggest getting to the base city by 4:00 p.m. local time (Central Time Zone). The day before our initial chase day, and with your hotel room already covered, we will hold a mandatory orientation meeting at 9:30 a.m. This meeting is essential for obtaining vital information regarding your upcoming tour experience on our first chase day.

Can I drive to the tour and will there be a place that I can safely leave my vehicle until I return there?

The hotels where we stay allow you to park your vehicle in their parking lot. Additionally, since our hotels are near the airport, you have the option to use the extended airport parking and take a shuttle from there to the airport. We suggest exploring the best option for your needs.

I'm planning on waiting until the week can be somewhat better forecasted. Is this possible?

That’s a risky choice you’ll need to make. If you opt to wait until the week before a storm chasing tour to decide, it’s safe to say that your chances of participating will be nearly nonexistent, as we will likely be fully booked by then. Our storm chasing tours typically fill up well in advance of the season’s start. Occasionally, we may have an opening due to a cancellation, but we maintain a waiting list and handle it on a first-come, first-served basis. There are individuals on that list who have been waiting for several years, making last-minute opportunities highly unlikely. Therefore, we do not recommend this approach for you.

Which week will have the most tornadoes?

Tornado activity in the United States typically begins in early spring, around mid-March, and reaches its peak by the end of May. In June, the focus shifts to the northern latitudes, particularly in states like Nebraska and the Dakotas, as well as across the Canadian Prairies.

Our tour schedule is intentionally crafted to align with the highest probabilities of tornado activity, and our base cities reflect this strategy. While each storm chasing tour offers the same potential for encountering tornadic supercells, the primary distinction lies in the geographical locations of the storms from one tour to the next.

In May, the majority of storms tend to develop in the Texas Panhandle, extending into Oklahoma and southern Kansas. These storms usually move quickly, influenced by the larger trough systems prevalent during this season.

Contrastingly, June generally yields slower-moving storms in regions such as northern Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, and further north. We particularly favor the June storms of the northern high prairies for several reasons: their slower pace makes them easier to observe, the lower population density in these areas enhances the viewing experience, and the elevation of the northern latitudes offers a broader perspective of the scenery.

What should I bring for storm chasing?

We suggest that you pack for a week’s worth of travel, utilizing one soft-style suitcase and a smaller carry-on bag for essentials like cell phones, cameras, and batteries. While tripods are permitted, please note that there are times during the chase when they are not allowed due to the time required for setup and breakdown; this could compromise our group’s safety. It is crucial for everyone to be able to swiftly re-enter our vehicles, as any delays could put us at risk or result in missing a tornado by seconds.

Therefore, tripods may only be used when we anticipate staying in one location for more than five minutes or while photographing lightning. Additionally, you must be able to quickly pack your equipment back into the vehicles. It is often more advantageous to bring a mono-pod instead of a tripod, as it allows you to set up a “quick stick” for added stability while shooting, while still being highly mobile and able to load up quickly.

I require prescription medication, can I still come?

Certainly!

We do not permit any illegal drugs on our tours. If you are found with them, you will be immediately removed from the tour, so please refrain from bringing them.

If you need to carry prescription medications, ensure you bring your prescriptions along. Certain areas we visit are prone to vehicle checks by law enforcement, especially near the international border with Mexico. If law enforcement discovers prescription medications, they will request to see your written prescription, so make sure you have it with you.

What is your alcohol Policy?

We prohibit the consumption of open alcoholic beverages in our vehicles, in accordance with state and federal law.

Your activities in your hotel room are private, and we want you to enjoy your vacation! If you purchase alcohol during one of our stops, please ensure it remains unopened until you return to your hotel. We strictly do not permit intoxication in our tour vans. If you appear to be intoxicated during our travel times (e.g., in the morning), you will not be allowed to continue the tour. Our priority is to provide high-quality storm chasing tours with the highest level of professionalism, and we will not allow intoxication to detract from any guest’s experience. We ask that you remain respectful to your fellow tour participants at all times.

In addition to the legal implications of transporting open alcoholic containers in vehicles, there are significant weather safety concerns. Tornadoes can be deadly—this is a serious matter! We are not operating a theme park with a safety rating; we are dealing with nature’s most violent and extreme weather, which can sometimes take us by surprise. It is crucial for every participant to be as alert as possible, capable of clear thinking, and able to follow instructions from our tour leaders should a life-threatening situation arise.

Individuals who are found opening alcoholic containers, such as beer bottles, inside the vehicles will be asked to leave the tour. You are welcome to purchase alcohol as long as it remains sealed, and you can enjoy it once we return to the hotel that evening.

I'm a smoker, is that a problem?

We apologize, but smoking is not permitted in our vehicles. If you can manage several hours without a cigarette, you should be fine. Additionally, we cannot guarantee that we will secure a smoking room at the hotels where we stay. Many businesses, including hotels, are adopting “smoke-free” policies and do not permit smoking. In such cases, if a guest disregards the hotel’s smoking policy, they may incur a cleaning fee, typically exceeding $300. Many of our regular tour guests smoke and have a great experience—just make sure to take smoking breaks during our stops and be considerate of your fellow non-smoking travelers at all times.

What is your refund policy?

Deposits are non-refundable. However, any remaining balance (excluding the deposit) can be refunded as a credit for a future tour if requested up to 60 days prior to the tour start date. This credit will be valid for one year from the date the booking was made.

Are your tours safe?

Ensuring safety is our utmost priority at all times. We’ll provide a comprehensive discussion of the general safety rules during our orientation meeting prior to the start of your tour. Our safety record has been flawless, and our goal is to maintain it.

What is the plan for Severe Clear (e.g., "days with no storm chasing")?

On days marked by “severe clear” weather, we will face an intriguing mystery plan that hinges on our current location and the time available before the next anticipated severe weather event. Our activities could range from visiting a national forest, grassland, or monument to exploring cave systems in New Mexico, canyons in the Texas Panhandle, or iconic sites like Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. Alternatively, we might take some time to unwind by enjoying one of Oklahoma’s many lake systems.

Additionally, we may use the downtime from storm chasing to deliver supplies to areas recently affected by devastating tornadoes. Since our plans with Clear Skies can be unpredictable, one thing is certain: there will always be something to keep us engaged and entertained.

As a disclaimer, we want to mention that there will be occasions when our group may decide to have a “lazy day” during clear weather. This could be because most of the tour group needs some time to recharge for the remainder of the journey, or it might stem from the tour leader’s assessment of an impending severe weather forecast for storm chasing purposes the following day. It’s also quite likely that we will need clear weather days to travel to another section of Tornado Alley in preparation for a weather system expected the next day.

Can I tag along behind the tour with my vehicle?

We do not permit “tag-along” vehicles in our tour group. This decision is primarily because we cannot ensure your safety when you’re outside our vehicles, and also because our skilled drivers are much better equipped to handle storm conditions than the average driver. As a result, there’s a high chance we would become separated, detracting from your storm-chasing experience. In the rare instance that we may allow you to follow our vehicles, you will need to sign a vehicle waiver and accept full responsibility for your safety, including your windshield and any other items attached to it!

How should I pack for my storm chasing tour?

We suggest that you prepare for a 6-day trip, regardless of whether you’re participating in a 6-day or 10-day tour. If you have consecutive storm chasing tours planned, many of the hotels we stay at offer coin-operated laundry facilities where you can wash your clothes.

Various sporting goods stores offer rain and windproof pants with zip-off legs, which are highly recommended. The climate we operate in can alter rapidly due to different weather systems we encounter, such as cold fronts, warm fronts, and drylines, leading to quickly changing conditions. Wind suits are also a practical choice and easy to pack.

We kindly request that you avoid wearing clothing with language that may not be suitable for television audiences. While our production teams have the ability to blur out inappropriate graphics, this isn’t visually ideal. We respect your right to free speech, as upheld in the United States, but we also ask that you consider the perspective of your fellow tour guests, as they will have to see you and your attire each day.

What is the size of the tour groups?

We operate a maximum of three vehicle units per tour, with most of our storm-chasing outings involving two or fewer units. Additionally, we may have a television crew of up to three members accompanying our tour vehicles. Consequently, our group sizes can vary from eight to twenty-five participants. We strive to keep our group sizes small for various reasons, such as providing a more personalized experience and ensuring compatibility with a wider range of hotels.

Hello, I’m Cindy; I have always lived in Southern California, where we don’t get any exciting weather, at least nothing compared to Tornado Alley. I work as a human resources manager for a large international retailer, so this annual trip is quite a departure from my everyday. While chasing, I have seen numerous supercells and amazing lightning shows and met many great friends worldwide. I look forward to another exciting week full of adventure and great memories chasing in the Plains… keep your eyes on the skies!

Hi, I’m Phil from England. I can honestly say that had you told me, before I started chasing with Todd, that every year I would count down the days until my next storm-chasing trip, I would have probably chuckled. I haven’t looked back since being persuaded by Chris (my brother and another Storm Chasing Adventure Tours Guide) to come storm chasing with him back in 2013. You will meet loads of really nice people and experience some extreme weather in the process.

### Preparing for Your Storm Chasing Adventure

Proper preparation is key to ensuring a successful and enjoyable storm-chasing experience. Here are some tips to help you get ready:

1. **Pack Appropriately:** Since you’ll be traveling through various regions with different climates, it’s essential to pack layers and waterproof gear. Comfortable shoes, a hat, and sunscreen are also recommended, as you may spend a significant amount of time outdoors.
2. **Bring the Right Equipment:** If you’re interested in photography, bring a good camera with a zoom lens to capture the stunning visuals of storms and landscapes. A tripod can also be helpful for steady shots. Don’t forget extra batteries and memory cards.
3. **Stay Informed:** Brush up on basic weather knowledge before your trip. Understanding terms like supercells, mesocyclones, and the Enhanced Fujita Scale will make the experience more engaging and informative.
4. **Plan for Flexibility:** Storm chasing is inherently unpredictable. Rapid changes in weather conditions may necessitate adjustments to the tour schedule. Be prepared for long drives and the possibility of waiting for storms to develop.

Embarking on a storm-chasing tour is an exhilarating way to experience nature’s most dramatic displays up close. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to follow tornadoes and severe storms across Tornado Alley, here’s a glimpse into a typical day in the life of a storm chaser.

Morning: Preparation and Briefing

Your day starts early, typically before sunrise. The weather team gathers to review the latest meteorological data and forecasts. Advanced technology, including weather radar and satellite imagery, helps predict where storms are likely to form. The guides discuss the day’s plan, determining the best routes and potential storm targets based on real-time information.

Once the plan is set, you’ll gather for a briefing. This includes an overview of the day’s itinerary, safety protocols, and what to expect. Safety is paramount in storm chasing, so you’ll be informed about the best practices for staying safe while observing severe weather.

With the plan in place, the group sets off in specially equipped vehicles designed for storm chasing. These vehicles are built to handle rough terrain and feature advanced tracking equipment. As you travel through Tornado Alley—covering states like Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas—you’ll witness the stunning landscapes of the Great Plains, from rolling hills to vast prairies.

During the drive, the team remains in constant communication with meteorologists and uses mobile radar to track developing storms. The anticipation builds as you approach areas where storms are expected to form.

Mid-morning: Hitting the Road

Early Afternoon: Tracking and Observing

As storms begin to develop, the team navigates to the best vantage points. Storm chasing vehicles are equipped with technology to provide live updates on storm conditions, allowing you to track tornadoes and severe weather with precision.

The sight of a storm on the horizon is both awe-inspiring and humbling. You might see towering cumulonimbus clouds, intense lightning, or even the formation of a tornado. This is where the real excitement happens—witnessing nature’s power in its rawest form.

Between storm observations, the guides offer insights into storm formation, tornado behavior, and the science behind severe weather. This educational component enriches your experience, providing context and deepening your understanding of the forces you’re witnessing.

You’ll have opportunities to ask questions, take photographs, and reflect on the day’s events. The guides are eager to share their knowledge and experiences, making your adventure both thrilling and informative.

Late Afternoon: Education and Reflection

### Evening: Returning and Relaxing

As the day winds down, the team heads back to your accommodation. After a day filled with excitement and intense weather observation, you’ll retreat to comfortable lodgings in nearby towns or cities. The hotels are selected for their comfort and convenience, ensuring you have a restful environment to relax and recharge.

Over dinner, the group may gather to discuss the day’s events and review photos and videos. It’s a chance to share experiences, relive highlights, and bond with fellow storm chasers.

### Night: Reflection and Preparation

Before heading to bed, there’s often a debriefing session where the guides review the day’s successes and challenges. They may also provide a preview of the next day’s plans based on the latest weather data.

Storm chasing is as much about preparation and strategy as it is about adventure. Reflecting on the day’s experiences and preparing for the next day’s chase ensures that you’re always ready for the unpredictable nature of storm chasing.

### Conclusion

A day in the life of a storm chaser is an exhilarating blend of excitement, education, and adventure. From the early morning briefings to the awe-inspiring moments of observing severe weather, every aspect of a storm chasing tour is designed to offer a unique and unforgettable experience. With expert guides, advanced technology, and a passion for extreme weather, your storm chasing adventure promises to be a thrilling journey into the heart of nature’s most powerful storms.

Hi, I am from Perth, Western Australia. This will be my 15th year chasing storms with Storm Chasing Adventure Tours. I have been keenly interested in severe weather from a young age and have been fortunate to see many notable tornadoes and intense lightning displays. Seeing a tornado for the first time was a fantastic experience; it certainly got my heart pumping. Every day is like an adventure; who knows where you will end up and what you might see! Whether you see a tornado or not, it’s an experience of a lifetime and one not to be missed. I look forward to traveling with you all.

When I was a small child growing up in Louisville, Kentucky, I was fearful of thunderstorms. This fear turned into an intense fascination with weather during my elementary school years and signaled an exciting career ahead in broadcast meteorology. I started my weather forecast website for the Louisville area in high school, and that’s when Storm Chasing Adventure Tours owner Todd Thorn found me. Since then, I’ve been chasing with Todd and have seen more than a dozen tornadoes. Thanks to Todd, I also got a head start in my severe weather education and earned my meteorology degree from Mississippi State University. During my college years, I was a weather forecaster at a TV station in Tennessee, and now I’m living my dream as a meteorologist at WAVE News in Louisville, Kentucky. I put my skills to work for you through my daily weather briefings and by helping you understand the weather happening as we chase.

Storm chasing in Tornado Alley is an activity that transcends the usual for both thrill-seekers and environmentalists. Offering a different viewpoint, few have personally seen, it’s a trip into the core of nature’s most potent energies. These are the five main reasons why you should add storm chasing in Tornado Alley to your bucket list.

Feel the Might of Nature's Force

Under a tall supercell, seeing the sky darken as the wind picks up is nothing like anything else. Many of the deadliest and most mind-blowing storms that occur in the world are a result of the tornado Alley, encompassing regions in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota. These storms are exhibitions of raw, wild strength that leave an impact on everyone who sees them, not only weather occurrences.

- **Up Close and Personal**: Storm chasing lets you be right in the heart of the action, unlike seeing a storm from the security of your house. Track a forming tornado and see its birth, movement, and dissipation to feel the surge of adrenaline.
- **Unmatched Visuals**: The visual feast created by the stark contrasts of black, whirling clouds against the vibrant greens and yellows of the terrain is both hypnotic and humble.

### Learn from Meteorological Experts

Storm chasing is an instructional experience as much as a delight. Joining a storm chasing trip brings seasoned meteorologists and storm chasers with you who will share their knowledge and observations.

- **Recognising Storm Dynamics:** Discover how supercells create, what requirements are for tornadoes to occur, and how to interpret weather patterns professionally. These realizations improve not just your experience but also your respect for the intricacy of weather systems.
- **Hands-On Learning**: Analyze satellite images, radar systems, and meteorological data in real-time. This is an opportunity to observe, directly before your eyes, the science of meteorology in action.

Storm chasing presents a once-unmatched chance for photographers to catch the environment at its most dramatic. The always-shifting light conditions create perfect circumstances for breathtaking images and videos, the sheer size of the storms, and the sometimes strange sceneries.

- **Once-in-a-Lifetime Shots**: Whether it’s a time-lapse of a spinning supercell or a perfectly framed view of a tornado touching down, the photographs you get during a storm chase are likely to be singular and breathtaking.
- **Professional Tips**: Many storm chasing trips provide direction on how to capture storms best, so maximizing your experience. Discover how to change your settings for the ideal shot, even under difficult circumstances.

Capture Breathtaking Photos and Videos

Thrill of the Chase

One of a kind of adventure, unlike others, is storm chasing. It’s about the chase itself as much as the destination—the storm. Hard to compare is the exhilaration of tracking a storm, making snap judgments, and racing Mother Nature’s wrath.

- **Strategic decision-making:** Every storm is unique; hence, it takes extensive study and fast thinking to place yourself in the best possible location. The chase gets even more exciting from this high-stakes decision-making process.
- **Bonding with Fellow Chasers**: The pleasure of storm chasing is much enhanced by the friendship among the chasers. Sharing the highs and lows of the hunt with people who are equally passionate about it makes lifetime memories and relationships.

### Explore America's Heartland

While the storms receive the most focus, Tornado Alley showcases some of the most beautiful and diverse landscapes in the nation. From steep hills to rolling plains, the region offers a peek into the core of America.

- **Scenic Routes:** You will pass through little villages, vast farms, and picturesque byways as you hunt storms over the plains. Away from the typical tourist paths, it’s an opportunity to see the splendor of rural America.
- **Cultural Insights**: Along the road, you will have the chance to meet residents, discover the history and culture of the area, and maybe even sample some real Midwestern food.

# Descriptions of our Storm Chasing Tours

Experience Tornado Alley yourself with our world-class storm chasing tours. We only chase in the open prairies where there are few trees to block our views for excellent viewing opportunities. We offer storm chasing tours that generally travel from the South Plains of Texas to the Northern High Plains Colorado to the Dakotas. As a result, each tour offers an unforgettable adventure with our knowledgeable and experienced storm chasers as your guides.

## Tour 1

Up close and personal! That best sums up the start of our storm chasing season! We’d love to get close on every tour, as long as it can be done safely. However, in order to be safe, we need good roads! And as a result, we need to have a clear escape route in mind.

In the early part of the spring storm season, storms are common in the Texas Panhandle. As luck would have it, this area has the best roads in Tornado Alley! Most of the farm roads in Texas are of highway quality. There are a few areas where the road network has limited options, but usually, it’s entirely workable.

If you want to get close enough, you’ll have to duck, then this is the tour for you!

![](https://stormchasing.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/May6.webp)

## Tour 2

Tour 2 is one of our more popular tours. This is now almost mid May typically is the time of year when we see some  the most powerful tornadoes. As the season gets underway, the plains experience numerous low-pressure systems. Each one pulls moisture up from the Gulf of Mexico and into the plains. Typically, by the first of May, there is ample moisture in the Central Plains to provide for massive tornado outbreaks and pure mayhem!

This tour in the past has seen as many tornadoes in a single week! From slow-moving LP tornadic supercells to fast-moving HP monsters, we’ve seen it all on this tour. Texas and Oklahoma are common areas we’ll be storm chasing in. Depending on the calendar from year to year, this tour is 6 days or more of storm chasing. The general rule-of-thumb is the longer you can chase, the better chances you’ll see more great storms and tornadoes!

![](https://stormchasing.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/May13.webp)

## Tour 3

The Peak Season Tour is our most popular tour. Mid May typically is the time of year when we see the most tornadoes. As the season gets underway, the plains experience numerous low-pressure systems. Each one pulls moisture up from the Gulf of Mexico and into the plains. Typically, by mid-May, there is ample moisture in the Central Plains to provide for massive tornado outbreaks.

This tour in the past we have seen many tornadoes in a single week! From slow-moving LP tornadic supercells to fast-moving HP monsters, we’ve seen it all on this tour. Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas are common areas we’ll be storm chasing in.

![](https://stormchasing.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/May20.webp)

## Tour 4

May is the month with the highest number of tornado outbreaks. As the fight between seasons persists, cold air from Canada mixes with warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico. This clash of air masses results in the most extreme weather on the planet.

This tour will likely spend most of its time chasing storms in the Southern and Central Plains. Namely, areas of the Texas Panhandle, Oklahoma and Kansas will be visited the most. A boundary separating dry air and moist air, known as the dryline, is commonly the focal point for severe storms.

The downside to this period is that occasionally cold fronts will push the moist air to the Gulf of Mexico. When this happens, it can take several days for the moisture to rebound into the plains. The upside, however, is the frequency of severe storms that are commonly tornadic.

![](https://stormchasing.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/May20.webp)

## Tour 5

The dryline is a boundary across a continent that separates moist air and dry air. While they occasionally occur in a few places on Earth, the most prominent example occurs in central North America. Specifically, in the Texas Panhandle, Western Oklahoma, and Kansas.

The dryline is often a focal point for severe weather. This boundary typically advances eastward during the afternoon and retreats westward at night. Tornadic thunderstorms often occur along the dryline, especially when it’s moving eastward. There are usually multiple target areas along with them on any given day when an upper-level low is overhead.

We will regularly be overnighting in towns such as Lubbock, Amarillo, Woodward or various locations in Western Kansas. Each day of chasing will begin immediately after a morning weather briefing. While this tour can drive long distances, shorter drives of less than 200 miles are more common. It’s also common to essentially wake up in our target area. As a result, we’ll spend the morning discussing whether and chase in the afternoon.

![](https://stormchasing.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/June10.webp)

## Tour 6

As the seasons progress into summer, low-pressure systems typically are located further north. As a result, the pull the moisture from the Central Plains “upslope” into the High Plains. This upslope flow can lead to almost magical looking storms.  Because of the higher elevations, the air is “thinner” and as a result, storms can form with less moisture. This also makes the air less hazy which makes storms in the High Plains perfect for photography!

Colorado has three distinctive topographical features that form tornadic supercells. They are The Raton Mesa, The Palmer Divide, and The Cheyenne Ridge. The Palmer Divide commonly creates a feature known as the “Denver Cyclone Convergence Zone” (DCVZ).

As the air moves up from the terrain, it meets a wind from the west that is blowing off the foothills and creates a cyclonic low-pressure system at the surface. The result of this DCVZ is some of the most breathtakingly gorgeous storms one could ever hope to see!

We have witnessed many tornadoes in this region over the years and this tour happens right at the peak of the DCVZ activity!

## **Tour 7**

As we approach the conclusion of our tours, the weather continues to improve rather than diminish. We find ourselves in the midst of the northern season, characterized by frequent storms occurring almost daily. This tour has consistently ranked among our most successful offerings, featuring a remarkable combination of breathtaking scenery and relentless convection. There is a possibility that you may experience the same fortune as our guests did and potentially witnessing a tornado similar to the one depicted in the thumbnail. This tour represents one of the prime opportunities for observing tornadoes and exceptional storm activity, spanning six days during a particularly dynamic segment of the season. With destinations such as the Rockies and Mount Rushmore on the itinerary, you may discover more excitement than anticipated during any downtime between thrilling chases. This storm expedition invites you to traverse the heart of the United States in pursuit of the most impressive supercells that nature has to offer.

![](https://stormchasing.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/June10.webp)

## **Tour 8**

For those eager to delve into the complexities of severe storm forecasting alongside storm chasing, this tour is an excellent choice. Spanning six days, the tour will mirror our standard offerings but will prioritize education on the meteorological aspects of storm chasing, guided by our skilled meteorologist. Participants will engage in detailed forecast discussions each day of the chase, regardless of the associated risk, partake in hands-on forecasting activities such as manual weather map analysis, and receive engaging lessons on the principles of severe storm meteorology. This time of year presents a wealth of unique storm chasing opportunities that allow for the practical application of various meteorological concepts, making it an ideal period for this educational tour. Additionally, with severe weather activity typically concentrated in the central and northern Plains during this season, there will be ample opportunities to witness remarkable sights between educational sessions and storm chasing. This distinctive experience is rare outside of a university environment, making it perfect for those who wish to enhance their storm chasing skills by understanding the scientific principles behind severe weather phenomena.
