These are specialist storm chasing adventure tour operators operating mostly along 'Tornado Alley' in the midwest, USA, but also chasing hurricanes wherever they may come ashore. You can join them, spending hours in a minivan racing up and down the highways mostly on the prairies of Kansas, Omaha & Nebraska, but as far afield as Texas, Oklahoma, Eastern Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, eastern Montana, eastern Wyoming, Missouri, Wisconsin, Minnesota and other Midwestern states.
NB. Storm chasing is potentially a dangerous activity. Make sure your travel insurance covers you. You may not enjoy the same level of financial security and protection if things go wrong when you book directly with an overseas company. |
