C’mon baby, do the Twister!
Are you one of those intrepid travellers? Do you seek excitement rather than relaxation when you go on holiday? Well, here’s an idea for you, and it’s one of the more ‘out there’ holiday packages available to those who crave a bit of excitement. How would you feel about a little storm chasing? Seriously. When you look into this bona-fide American pastime, you won’t believe the sheer volume of websites dedicated to the subject, and for that matter the choice of highly-organised tours available to the discerning crazy person. Don’t believe it? Check out www.stormchasing.com for a peek into the world of professional storm chasing.
For the uninitiated, storm chasing involves (as one might gather) chasing storms throughout ‘Tornado Alley’ in the midwestern United States. Not just any old storms either; tornadoes to be more precise. These are violent, rotating columns of air with average wind speeds between 40 and 110 miles per hour. Because they contact the ground, the potential for danger is great when they occur in populated areas. A good stormchasing tour operator can get you close to these meteorological behemoths, whilst still keeping you safe.
As one of the United States’ premier operators, Storm Chasing Adventure Tours have been taking thrill seekers on a wild ride for over a decade. They currently offer 6 day tours, travelling across a number of states throughout the Great Plains, boasting some of the best storm-chasing technology available. They’re currently taking bookings for 2010 – so why not give it go? It’ll certainly make for some interesting holiday snaps.
Oh, and don’t forget to check into purchasing some adventure travel insurance before you go. Although every effort is made to keep you safe, the behaviour of storms can only be predicted to a certain degree. That means choosing the right insurance coverage is a must.
So when you’ve tired of bungee jumping and whitewater rafting, visit Tornado Alley and witness first-hand the power of Mother Nature.
