Storm Chasers

Tornadoes. Hurricanes. Enormous storms. Just reading these words make people imagine
disastrous events that can cause countless injuries and severe damages. No one looks forward
to weather reports or breaking news that announces these natural disasters. No one, except a
small group of about 100 people known as “storm chasers”.

Who are these people, and what do they do? A storm chaser is a person who tries to get as
close to a severe storm as possible. A few storm chasers are scientists who want to learn
more about storms and howthey develop. They want to be able to learn more so that someday
they can better predict when and where storms will occur. With more information, they could

help people avoid the severe destruction and high casualties that often happen when huge
storms hit. Others are professional photographers, film makers, or TV reporters. Some are
tour guides who take people close to the fascinated by nature and chase storms as a hobby.
Storm chasers study weather data and look closely at the sky to guess the timing and location
of storms when they form. They hope to be there when a tornado forms and to follow it as it
touches ground. If they are lucky, they will catch a tornado at least once in every five to ten
trips.

31. Storm chasers look for opportunities to study and photograph huge storms. ______
32. There are a lot of women storm chasers. ______

33. There are over 1,000 people who are storm chasers. ______
34. Storm chasers look forward to tornadoes. ______
