This is the best post I have ever read! If I get a lovelly, kind head teacher to work for one I'm qualified I can still come!
Oh, and when I have gone Storm Chasing in the past I have booked around christmas time. Mondays and Tuesdays in the early hours are when you will get the best places. I paid about £430 both times but I get direct flights as I can't be doing with all of the faffing swapping airlines etc.
You can get flights cheaper if you are willing to get connections though.
There is a guide for first time Storm Chasers on my facebook and website which I have been putting together. It covers flights and insurance and things like that. Will be adding tech nearer the time as new cameras come out all of the time it would get out of date very quickly.<BR><BR>That said you'll need a good camera - still or video (or hybrid or one of each) spare batteries, lots of memory and preferable a laptop and drive to store your many hours of footage on.
Hope that helps.
