Why go with a tour group? Well, if storm chasing is something you have always fancied trying, it is a fairly safe way to do it. All you have to do is book your flights to and from the starting place. Most groups work out of Oklahoma City, but not all and it also depends on the time of the season. The group pick you up from the airport and for the duration of the trip they look after all accomodation. Each day after a briefing session you load up and set off for the target area. Depending on the weather prognosis some days might be just a travel day. This is designed to put you within striking distance if tornadoes are expected and the distance is too far to go in one day. The vans they use are comfortable and are loaded with lots of high tech gadgets to enable them to track down the best storms. i.e. The storms most likely to produce a tornado.
