Tornado chasers are individuals or teams who actively seek out and study tornadoes in order to gather data and improve understanding of these powerful storms. They often use specialized equipment, such as radar and cameras, to track tornado formation and behavior. Their work can help meteorologists provide better warnings and forecasts for communities at risk. Many tornado chasers travel to regions known as Tornado Alley, primarily in the central United States, where tornadoes are more frequent. They may also collaborate with organizations like the National Weather Service to share findings and enhance public safety during severe weather events.
