Into the Storm by Reed Timmer with Andrew Tilin

Reed Timmer started his college career in 1998 by choosing the University of Oklahoma in Norman in the middle of tornado alley. Choosing to study meteorology, tornadoes became his passion. In order to follow tornadoes as close as possible, Timmer naively chased storm cells by randomly guessing where the tornadoes would appear. Then he got smarter and started following storms cells by using the Internet. He soon found out that reading conditions outside was as important as understand the laws of thermodynamics and bookmarking the best forecasting websites.

Reed Timmer stars in the Discovery television series Storm Chasers. Reed has storm footage on his website: http://www.tornadovideos.net/.
