Following up on their successful 2007 season, the Storm Chasers are back with new vehicles, new teams and new tactics.  The 2008 tornado season nearly set a record for tornado outbreaks and our determined band of chasers pulled out all the stops to break their own records for intercepts. Sure there were challenges, but with double the number of chase vehicles—and much more mobility and range—the Storm Chasers got the job done like never before.
You don't want to miss the fierce—but mostly friendly—competition for the most tornado encounters that develops early in the season, as the newest chaser, Reed Timmer pits his light and loose style of chasing against the heavyweight, methodical approach of Dr. Josh Wurman and his team, powered in part by Baron's Mobile Threat Net (see pic below).  Plus, the baddest chase machine around, the 8-tonned, 10-wheeled TIV2, makes its debut as extreme filmmaker Sean Casey continues his quest for the ultimate IMAX intercept footage. And best of all, you've got a front-row seat to some of the most awesome tornadoes ever captured in HD.
So strap yourself into that armchair and join the chase with Storm Chasers, only on the Discovery Channel, Sundays at 10 p.m. ET/PT starting Oct 19.
