Download Into the Storm: Violent Tornadoes, Killer Hurricanes, and Death-defying Adventures in Extreme Weather AudioBook Free
Reed Timmer is one of the very most successful & most extreme surprise chasers on the planet. His is a job that requires science and bravado, knowledge and instinct just to survive, never head excel. It's a job some people would kill for. But most would rather let Timmer take the risks while they watch from the safe practices of the homes. Reed Timmer is a legend of Storm Chasers, one of the Discovery Channel's top-rated shows. Into the Storm is Timmer's remarkable profile of his incredible profession. Each section features the story of one of the 300-plus extreme tornadoes, hurricanes, or blizzards that Timmer has intercepted over the last 10 years - storms that include the killer F5 tornado that struck Moore, Oklahoma, in May 1999; the unprecedented, devastating surprise surge of Hurricane Katrina; and the little-studied but enormously powerful surprise systems in places like Canada and Argentina, including a recently available trip in which Timmer realized he was the one surprise chaser in SOUTH USA and could intercept super skin cells in the most prolific hail-producing region on the planet. Like a Ph.D. candidate in meteorology, Timmer is after more than just an adrenaline hurry - his tales feature fascinating insights into the science of storms and the way the data he is collecting will someday save lives. With a firsthand perspective on the storm-chasing community, Timmer also calls for listeners inside this world, evaluating his questionable obsession and the ethical debates it sparks. Presenting the same you-are-there immediacy that draws in more than 100,000 people to Timmer's Site every month, Into the Storm is one untamed - and interesting - ride.
