Tempest Tours , Inc. is a U.S. based tour company.[1] Headquartered in Arlington, Texas , the company takes its guests storm chasing across the Great Plains of the United States and into Canada . During tours, guests have the opportunity to learn from their staff of storm spotters , climatologists , and meteorologists on the intricacies of atmospheric science as they track and photograph storms.[2]
Tours are held from late-April through early-July every year to coincide with peak tornado activity in Tornado Alley .[3]
History [ edit ]
The company was founded in 2000 by storm chaser and filmmaker Martin Lisius . Tempest Tours started with 3 staff members including Lisius, climatologist William T. Reid, and research meteorologist Charles A. Doswell III , and one van, but have since expanded to over 15 employees with 3 vehicles.[4] The company saw around 20 tourists in their inaugural season, but now host about 200 guests a season.[5] Each van can hold up to 6-7 passengers.[6]
