Welcome
Extreme Tornado Tours offers the most exciting storm chasing experience in the world. Operated by world-renowned storm chasers and degreed research meteorologists, a tornado chasing vacation with Extreme Tornado Tours will be an exhilarating, life-changing experience.

ETT and Discovery Channel's Storm Chasers
Our tour guides (Reed Timmer, Chris Chittick, and Dave Holder) are featured on Discovery Channel's Storm Chasers, a television series documenting teams of storm chasers/research scientists as they track down supercells and tornadoes every spring. ETT guests will have a front row seat as the TornadoVideos.net team penetrates tornado core flows with the SRV Dominator (pictured here) to record valuable data and High Definition video. More information on these extreme research projects can be found on the About Us page.
