Storm Chasers

Contributed by Cameron Hodge

Storm Chasers on the Discovery Channel is one of my favorite shows to watch. When I got my direct tv service set up at my new place my first question was, “Will I get Discovery Channel?” Of course I have the channel so my life is complete. If you haven’t seen this show let me break it down for you. It is about two or three teams of people who are out to film and capture data about severe storms in the Midwest. Mainly they are looking for tornadoes and more importantly they are looking for the most severe tornadoes so that they can study them. The main character on the show is Reid Timmer who is a meteorologist who will follow super cells all over the country in order to try to drive in to them with his specially made tornado vehicle. His truck is basically covered in armor and bullet proof/shatter proof glass so that he can drive directly in to the path of an oncoming tornado to collect data and information on how tornadoes work.
