Informational (nonfiction)
Tornadoes are both exciting and terrifying; storm chasers know this firsthand. They place themselves in harm’ s way to study these often violent storms. Most storm chasers are scientists who hope to gather information about wind speed and direction in order to predict the path a tornado will travel. Readers will learn what storm chasers do, how tornadoes form, and what to do if a tornado is approaching. Photographs and scientific illustrations support the text.
