"These are the images that demonstrate the heart of weather's primal draw, and that hold the power to make weather fanatics
out of even those of us whose first instinct is to run."
-- The New York Times
"Beautiful documentations of our country's rapidly changing climate." -- Dallas Morning News
"Unusually intriguing or unusually beautiful, most often both."
-- Scientific American
"Each image is like some oracle of Greek mythology:
Beautiful and seductive..."-- PopPhoto.com
Through breath-taking photos, quotes, letters, and journal entries from climatologists, researchers, political leaders, spiritual advisors, and storm survivors -- Storm Chaser chronicles Reed's most thrilling, beautiful, memorable and dramatic adventures to date. From extraordinary tornadoes to historic hurricanes, remarkable floods, geomagnetic storms, and magnificent lightning, Reed captures not only the mercilessness of America's sometimes deadly weather, but also the magnificence and meaning behind the tempests.
Reed tells the story of traveling through more than two thousand U.S. counties in his trusty Ford Explorer. He describes what it feels like to be within five-hundred feet of a twister, to be inside the dead-calm of a monstrous category four hurricane, and survive a direct hit by Katrina.
Weather is a universal experience, but there are few people on Earth who have experienced extreme weather firsthand as Jim Reed has. Storm Chaser gives the rest of us a taste of how life-changing these storms can be.
