Across the central United States, the infamous storms of Tornado Alley are fueled by the collision of cold fronts from Canada and warm fronts from the Gulf of Mexico. People have been chasing these storms for decades in pursuit of thrilling experiences, but now a new generation of storm chasers is combining scientific knowledge with powerful images.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>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. 340 color illustrations.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Definitely looks like a good one to check out!\u00a0 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Adventures-Tornado-Alley-Storm-Chasers\/dp\/0500287376\">You can find it here on Amazon.com<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/t1.jpg\" title=\"Bolts from the blue\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/t1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Bolts from the blue\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/t2.jpg\" title=\"Independence Day II\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/t2.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Independence Day II\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/t3.jpg\" title=\"Touchdown\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/t3.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Touchdown\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/t4.jpg\" title=\"Heaven\u2019s Hammer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/t4.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Heaven\u2019s Hammer\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just read about this new book Adventures in Tornado Alley: The Storm Chasers.\u00a0 Most notably I saw some of the pictures in the book &#8211; absolutely incredible.\u00a0 See below.\u00a0 From Amazon&#8217;s description:\u00a0 The destructive power of nature has always been a source of fear and fascination, and never more so than now, when climate &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/severe-weather\/adventures-in-tornado-alley-the-storm-chasers\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Adventures in Tornado Alley: The Storm Chasers<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,4],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=101"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":519,"href":"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101\/revisions\/519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=101"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=101"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=101"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
