Tornado Alley Guided Tours!
If you would like to fly into tornado alley to meet up with me on the road on a guided storm chasing adventure, you can rent a vehicle and follow me around tornado alley at a reduced price of
U.S.$125.00 per day.


This is available to all persons that wish to follow me around while I am storm chasing in the US.  These "guided" storm chase adventures have no minimum amount of chase days. Note:  "Guided" storm chase pricing does not cover your motel room(s), your rented vehicle or your fuel.  No tour covers your food.  You must pay those extras yourself.

With my "Guided" storm chasing adventures, you can decide how many days, or which days you want to follow me to the severe weather or tornadic supercells!!  On down days, you can stay with me for a travel day to the next risk area.  Travel days are free with no limit on "your" passengers but I'll still be targeting for myself, my clients and you for the next day, or series of days.  It's totally up to you!

NOW AVAILABLE! Storm Chasing in Ontario!
Email me and ask about my short notice, 1 day mini tour, right here in Ontario!  Much less expensive than a full week of chasing in the U.S., so you can experience severe weather in a safe and controlled manner!

These Southern Ontario Mini Chases are very affordable, priced at only $125.00 per person, on severe weather days, right here in Ontario!!  Call my number and ask to ride or follow me in your vehicle!!   According to Environment Canada, Southern Ontario has not one, but two "tornado alleys".   Which one do you want to check out?
