Any toured with storm chasers?
 
Can anyone tell me how you enjoyed a tour with a STORM CHASER company? Following supercell thunderstorms & tornadoes, etc.<BR><BR>The price seems quite expensive but I imagine most will say it is well worth it?<BR><BR>Did anyone have a full trip with NO storms?<BR><BR>The only websites I've come across so far are for a tour company called Storm Chasers and one called Silver Lining Storm Chasers.<BR><BR>Anyone been with either of these or recommend any other companies/info?<BR><BR>Sylvia

Hey the University of Oklahoma at Norman is famous for their "storm chasers". You might call the University and inquire. Hope this helps.

<BR>Ignoring the danger, it is my impression from TV that most of these trips might encounter heavy rain and wind but little else.<BR><BR>Since trained professionals with million-dollar computers have a tough time predicting the exact time and location of these storms, it would seem to me a storm chaser with these skills could make a lot more money working for the government.<BR><BR>Just my two cents.<BR><BR>Mike Honeycutt

I joined a group called the Strom Chasers, but it wasn't very exciting following a 98 year old senator as he doddled down the halls of Congress.
