Episode notes

Jeff Weber is an atmospheric scientist who has chased a few storms. He actually chased one recently with his 12 year old son. After seeing his first tornado last week, he can't get enough and wants to just keep doing it.

8 minutes, 24 seconds. That’s the average amount of warning time people get before a tornado touches down. To do better, and to understand tornadoes, scientists need to confront more of these storms, head on.
