Everything Twisters Got Right And Wrong About Storm Chasers

Weird History | January 3, 2025



The 1996 movie Twister gave storm chasers a real boost, so the 2024 sequel, Twisters, could very well do the same. But is storm chasing really as dangerous as movies make it out to be? Are these real-life chasers putting their lives in danger by hunting down tornadoes?

Well, storm chasing isn’t quite like what Hollywood makes it out to be. Although the practice does have exciting moments, much of a chaser’s time is spent planning and prepping.

It’s actually easy to get started as a chaser if you’re interested. You can tag along with a pro, or even book a weeklong storm chasing tour in Tornado Alley.
