Each year over 1200 tornadoes on average strike the United States. With thousands of severe thunderstorms occurring, these storms also have the potential to produce gigantic hail, intense lightning strikes, flash flooding, and of course tornadoes. There isn't anywhere in the United States that is immune to these storms. And where these severe weather events happen, you will find storm chasers, photographers, thrill seekers, professionals and researchers who attend so they may witness nature's raw beauty and power. This book is a visual testimony to the intense storms and tornadoes that ravage the United States each year. The photos within were taken by veteran storm chasers and photographers Roger Hill and Caryn Hill. Spanning a period of three decades, go along on this visual ride as they travel across the heartland of the US in search of severe weather of all kinds. See the best of their photography as they document the power of nature and the jaw dropping sights they witness each year.

Each year, at least 1,200 tornadoes batter the United States. While most occur in Tornado Alley--a vast, weather-beaten swath of middle America-in truth, tornadoes can occur almost anywhere. And where there are tornadoes, there are storm chasers. They come in all shapes and sizes, from hobbyists to researchers to professional chasers. There is one, however, who stands well above the rest: Roger Hill.Hunting Nature's Fury tells the story of Roger Hill and his love affair with storm chasing, taking you on a suspenseful and dramatic ride across the Great Plains, into the Deep South, even into the eyes of such recent hurricanes as Katrina. You'll accompany Hill as he braves close calls, makes history, and gains insight into the science of severe weather. This is a story of a storm chaser obsessed with the storms that almost killed him; of resiliency in the face of disaster; and of humility in the presence of the awesome power of nature. Includes eight color pages of jaw-dropping photos taken by Hill showing many of the storms chronicled in the book.
