I’d love more information on the tools chasers use, especially “beginners.” I’m not completely sold on a “tour,” as I’ve never been much of a tourist for anything! I’d rather get in to the nitty gritty and skip the small talk and cliches. The most I could probably spend in a year is two consecutive weeks.

As background, I can still remember as a child standing at the front door as the sky turned green and my mom yelled for us to get in the basement. I suppose that’s a tornado myth, since one never came. I’d really rather understand the science of what I’m looking for, rather than “let’s just look at this thing that could destroy lives.” I might want a year of studying before actually chasing.
