Each year, at least 1,200 tornadoes batter the United States. While
most occur in Tornado Alley--a vast, weather-beaten swath of middle
America-in truth, tornadoes can occur almost anywhere. And where
there are tornadoes, there are storm chasers. They come in all
shapes and sizes, from hobbyists to researchers to professional
chasers. There is one, however, who stands well above the rest:
Roger Hill. Hunting Nature's Fury tells the story of Roger Hill and
his love affair with storm chasing, taking you on a suspenseful and
dramatic ride across the Great Plains, into the Deep South, even
into the eyes of such recent hurricanes as Katrina. You'll
accompany Hill as he braves close calls, makes history, and gains
insight into the science of severe weather. This is a story of a
storm chaser obsessed with the storms that almost killed him; of
resiliency in the face of disaster; and of humility in the presence
of the awesome power of nature. Includes eight color pages of
jaw-dropping photos taken by Hill showing many of the storms
chronicled in the book.
