Storm Chasing the American Dream: What to Pack for the Ultimate Weather Adventure

It’s 1996, I’m 15 years old, and I’m sat in a cinema in Bournemouth, Dorset, eyes wide, jaw probably on the floor, watching Twister for the first time. Tornadoes tearing through fields, Helen Hunt driving like a lunatic, cows flying past the camera – it was pure chaos, and I was hooked. Ever since that day, one thought has sat quietly (sometimes not so quietly) in the back of my mind: Wouldn’t it be cool to go storm chasing in the Great Plains of America?
