What people say about our
tours:
"Growing up, I loved being outside during storms as well as learning about how they form. When I heard about Roger and his talent for finding storms, I knew I had to try being outside in storms on the plains. It was one of the best choices I ever made! So far, I have been on three storm chase tours led by Roger and am currently counting days until the fourth. Caryn and Roger make all guests feel welcome and are both great company for the long hours on the road. Roger has the knowledge and instincts to find the best (i.e.: strongest!) storm around. Along with that talent, he has unlimited patience for explaining the intricacies that are associated with severe weather. He is happy to answer any and all questions and enjoys discussing all facets of weather. Nothing else compares to being able to watch a storm forming on radar, learning to analyze data, getting to the destination then seeing the sky explode in one of the best shows nature has to offer. Even on the days nature chooses not to put on a show, Roger has enough knowledge of the plains to bring his guests to a fun filled destination. He and Caryn make a great team and watching them in action is an added enhancement to an already great vacation." Trish Monahan, MA |

"Storm chasing with Roger and Caryn Hill has been a dream come true. They've provided an outlet to fuel my passion to see the beauty of nature's wild side in the flesh. The awe-inspiring images I will never forget. After every tour I've felt more educated thanks to the wealth of knowledge they are willing to share. With Weather 101 classes and morning briefings throughout my tours I was given the knowledge and basic tools necessary to be a participant and not just a tag-a-long tourist. I was encouraged to ask questions, no matter how trivial. Every question was answered--most importantly to me, in understandable non-technical terms. One can be taught the science of forecasting, yet the "street-smart" instinct and intuition Roger and Caryn wield can only be acquired throughout their years of experience chasing. Their history elevated my confidence in staying out of harms way. While as we traveled, their memories repainted the art of their past tornado chases along our routes. In chasing with Roger and Caryn I have made many lifelong friendships. Roger and Caryn demonstrated with ease the people skills required to balance the varieties in personality and backgrounds in close quarters . Their tireless efforts display their desire to provide a most memorable experience. I wouldn't chase with anyone else." Bob Eaton Meriden, CT |
