Hi Christina, welcome to the forum.

If you're after clouds and lightning then you've come to the right place!  Both tours are good, so far the guys on Tour 1 have seen 8 tornadoes in 4 days, last year tour 2 bagged some amazing storms and tornadoes too, so it really comes down to which dates work best for you. We can't promise a tornado, but we do work very hard to make sure you see as much as possible, and clouds & lightning will always play a part :-)

Before I went on tour 2 & 3 last year, I wasn't really bothered about tornado's. mainly due to never seen one. I was going just to see the wild lightning, But as Cyclone Gail said, we saw 8 tornado's in one day and I've been hooked to them ever since

Here's a few photo's I took last year

It's structure and lightning for me. After all that's why it's called "Storm" Chasing not tornado chasing.  That said the odd tornado or two is nice!!

You can say that again Chris! T4, 2012 we only saw the one tornado and was still an epic trip!

The early-bird offer for tour 2 has now ended, with just a few places left on the tour now. Tours 1 and 3 still have early-bird places, tour 4 is sold out.

Spaces are moving very quickly this year....

Actually no, I was right the first time! There is 1 place left on tour 2. 

I've sent you an email Paul regarding a change of tour for me! Hope I haven't missed the tour 2 boat.

Nope you're good - just replied. 

So for the state of play, a slight change - tour 2 is now sold out, but a space has opened on tour 4.

Hi Paul

Can you put Rob Kenney down for the vacant spot on Tour 4 if you have not got his name down for that yet

Tour 1 is now starting to fill, just a couple of places at the early-bird price left. Tour 3 filling but more slowly, so a bit more space on that one. Other two tours are sold out!

Latest on the 2017 tours - space is running out... 

Tours 2 & 4 are sold out. 
Tour 1 has 3 spaces remaining.
Tour 3 has better availability with 2 early bird spaces left, then a handful more after that.

Booked my place on tour 1 a couple of weeks back and I can't wait to get out there again for the first time in 6 years! Always an amazing trip even if the weather isn't kind.
