About Hummer Storm Chaser
What is HUMMER doing in the Land of Oz?
Every year in the United States, about 700 or so tornadoes touch down. A handful of these are strong enough to wipe out entire towns. Before the advent of radar, every tornado was a surprise, some killing hundreds as they wiped out small towns. The majority of these killer twisters take place in the unique environment of the U.S. Great Plains, where warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico meets cold air cascading down the Rockies at the beginning of every summer. Nowhere else in the world is there the volume of tornados as in this 900-square-mile area. Since the National Weather Service implemented its latest Nexrad radar in 1988, the warning time for predicting tornados increased measurably. When the entire town of Greensburg, Kansas, was demolished two years ago, just nine residents were killed, plus a police officer rushing toward the town to offer aid.
