Huge, towering clouds build up in the sky--it\'s a super cell.
You might even decide to become a storm chaser yourself.
You\'ll learn tornado basics, get a great window into the science of meteorology, and learn how to pursue a career in the field.
In Chasing the Storm, you\'ll meet real storm chasers and meteorologists, hear their stories, and discover how they do their work.
Storm chasers arm themselves with training about severe weather, use sophisticated instruments, and follow safety guidelines.
Many are scientists while others are professional photographers and videographers.
Are storm chasers a bunch of foolish daredevils? Not at all.
Specially trained Hurricane Hunters hop into aircraft packed with scientific instruments to fly deep into powerful hurricanes, hoping to reach the eye of the storm.
Others serve their cities and towns by taking photos from their backyards and phoning in storm details to local Weather stations.
Some drive thousands of miles in just a few days as they follow a storm system from Iowa to Texas.
Whenever severe Weather threatens, storm chasers hit the road to hunt for tornadoes, hurricanes, or violent storms.
But is there a funnel? Is it touching the ground? Only a storm chaser can confirm when a tornado is present--and help meteorologists warn nearby towns.
The Doppler radar indicates that the system is rotating.
