I am continuing my quest to try each storm chasing tour company on the market and this season I will be going with Extreme chase tours on their Tour #4 in last week of May. I am really looking forward to be able to chase this season again and to be chasing with Lanny Dean.
Last year I went with Tempest Tours on the first week of May and we were quite unlucky with the weather and had several down days. This is, of course, just a matter of luck and probabilities in the end. The beginning of May could be fantastic and has produced some extreme weather but there is also a higher risk of down days in between. That is why some tour operators offer longer tours in the early season. So, this year I go later on in the season again.
This will be my fourth chase after previously testing:
- 2009: Cloud 9 tours
- 2012: PDS Storm tours
- 2013: Tempest Tours
My plan with testing new tour operators each year is to be able to compare them and, with confidence, recommend each to visitors of this blog, StormChasingUSA.com visitors etc.
