Publisher Description
An eye-of-the-hurricane view of storm chasing from the star of the Discovery Channel hit series Storm Chasers.
Only one in ten chases actually intercept a tornado-unless you're Reed Timmer. The thrill-seeking meteorologist and star of Storm Chasers has followed and faced down more violent tornadoes than anyone. Into the Storm brings readers into the mind of this man and his mission—collecting data on tornadoes and hurricanes that could save lives—in the terrifying, awe-inspiring world of big weather.
Into the Storm is also a fascinating look at the science of weather—what causes extreme conditions, its connection to climate change, and how a tornado gets its stovepipe structure.
Customer Reviews
Very interesting book, but I miss the photos!
As a follower of Storm Chasers on the Discovery Channel I found this book very interesting. It's an inspiring story of a man who follows his passion and despite both ups and downs manages to launch a career as a professional storm chaser. It's nice to get to know the real story behind the often unsympathetic portrayed person from the Discovery Channels reality soup-opera. I would have given this iBook 5 stars if the pictures from the printed version had been included in this digital version.
Awesome!
This guy has a real passion for storm chasing. Awesome read and enjoyed
Storm Passion
Reed transfers his passion for storms onto the written page! Reed also educates as he writes and the reader is allowed to chase vicariously Into the Storm! I recommend this book to arm chair storm chasers. ~CH
