Big weather : chasing tornadoes in the heart of America

Why do some people chase the kind of storms that would send most people running for their lives? Drawing a portrait of a culture enamoured by extremes during a 6,000-mile journey through the heartland, this is a meditation on the weather and the subculture of catastrophilia, the culture and commerce of catastrophic weather.
