Storm chasers

North America is famous for its wide open spaces, and this landscape can cause some very 

exciting weather. In fact, the USA has more tornadoes than any other country – there are about 

1,200 every year in a part of the country called ‘Tornado Alley’. This is in the centre, from North 

Dakota in the north to Texas and Louisiana in the south. 1___ They are just normal people, but their favourite activity is following storms and getting as close as possible to a tornado! We call 

these people ‘storm chasers’, and it’s quite easy to become a storm chaser these days. 

2___Gabe Matthews is a storm chaser, and he follows the weather as often as possible. ‘Seeing a 

powerful tornado is an amazing experience,’ says Gabe, ‘but it isn’t easy to be in the right place at 

the right time. My friends and I need to do a lot of work to find a tornado and get to it.

 3___ Then we have to wait for ages before we see the weather changing. But when that starts to happen, it’s 

so exciting.’Many people become storm chasers because they like the danger. But Gabe is always very 

careful. He tries to get close to the center of the tornado, but not too close. ‘Once I saw cars flying 

through the air,’ says Gabe, ‘and a big American truck!

 4___ You don’t want those cars to hit you!’ Another reason people chase storms is to film them. A news channel recently used one of Gabe’s films. ‘That film was exciting because it was a strong storm and it caused a lot of damage. It was great to get it on TV.’ However, Gabe was even prouder of something else that he did. ‘My friends and I heard screams when we were filming. 

5___ They couldn’t get out, so they were very relieved when we rescued them. It was great to help people like that.’Perhaps you have to be a little crazy to be a storm chaser. Certainly, some people say that storm 

chasers just want to do something thrilling, But they’re often the first on the scene, giving 

important information to the rescue services. So actually they often save lives.
