Social media has fueled rising interest in weather tours. But to some—public safety officials, meteorologists, and scientists—the practice isn’t worth the risk
Data suggests that the greatest concentration of damaging tornado outbreaks may be sliding Southeast instead of the Central Plains. Tornadic storms tend to develop along the dry-line, a stretch of the U.S. where wetter, cooler and drier, warmer weather fronts meet.
Tornadoes in the Southeast are more likely to damage homes and inflict injuries since many areas in this region are densely populated. Warning alerts often come late in states including Mississippi and Alabama because weather and foliage make tornadoes harder to spot. It’s so difficult and dangerous to get a good view of a tornado in the South that most tours don’t bother venturing there. But, where there were 25 percent fewer tornadoes in May of 2022 than in an average year, many are tempted.
27 percent of the geosciences workforce, and storm chasing and meteorology have consisted mostly of “nerdy white guys forever,” says Knox. But Walton suspected there were other women who wanted to chase the weather, or were already doing it. to showcase the work of female-identifying chasers and discovered a nascent community.
Twisters are usually accompanied or preceded by severe thunderstorms, high wlnds, and flash floods like the one seen here.“Weather is a way to talk about change and extreme events. Weather is relatable to every person, and tornadoes are cool. Storm chasing is kind of badass,” Walton says.
