I had always been inquisitive about storms even though I grew up in Tornado Alley. I followed Tornadic Expeditions on Facebook for about 2 years. I decided on taking Tour #2 called May Madness. My research showed that they only have 4 tourists per van and either one or 2 guides depending on how many vans they are running per tour. I respect and appreciate Tornadic Expeditions policy on safety . I never felt in harm’s way.
Eric Burns, the owner and tour operator, is extremely knowledgeable respectful of his tourists, and was very helpful, since I had so many questions before I even signed up. He also has an easy-going personality, while always protective of his tourists. His copilot on Tour 2, May Madness was Nick Busby another extremely knowledgeable and respectful tour guide. His photography was extremely fascinating too.
We saw 3 tornadoes on the very first day. The next 6 days were filled with super storms and unbelievable cloud formations. I felt very lucky to see those storms from afar. The tornados and super storms did not cause destruction like some, as they hit out in the fields and farmland and caused no deaths or harm.
This tour may not be for everyone but for those who are fascinated by storms and want to be safe while storm chasing this would be for you!
