Tornado chasers
Martin Connor
use in the north Texas (Dallas) area?
Thanks,
Shaun Kelly
There are links from the Storm Chaser homepage to two frequency lists, and
I feel certain you can find what you want there - see:
http://taiga.geog.niu.edu/chaser/chaser.html
It also has quite a few links to a variety of excellent resources and
papers and other chaser's pages (like mine...), and is run by Gilbert
Sebenste, who's video of one of the IL tornadoes on friday was on TWC
lately.
