ADVENTURES IN TORNADO ALLEY
The Storm Chasers Mike Hollingshead and Eric Nguyen
PAPERBACK ORIGINAL
From surreal skyscapes to wholesale destruction: the most dramatic scenes from the natural world
This book follows Mike Hollingshead and Eric Nguyen on seventeen chases through Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and South Dakota, illustrating the unfolding events with sequential shots and a running commentary by the chasers themselves. These spectacular storm portfolios are expanded with special features on weather phenomena like hail and mammatus clouds plus insights into forecasting and research. Mike Hollingshead has been intrigued by weather since he was a child and is a full-time storm chaser. Eric Nguyen was a meteorologist who chased storms for twelve years. Meteorologist and veteran storm chaser Chuck Doswell provides an illuminating, accessible explanation of the science behind the storms.
