VHS-48 minutes.
"The Chasers of Tornado Alley is spellbinding, with a 'you are there' quality that is unsurpassed." -Midwest Today
"While previewing this tape, I found myself continually restarting it as new people stopped by and demanded to see it from the beginning. The most breathtaking sequence shows a storm chaser getting a bit too close to a tornado as it crosses the road in front of him. After it passes, he shows where the tornado has scoured and ripped up the road surface-something I had neither heard nor seen before. Nothing else will convince you of the power of these storms like that vanished road! I greatly enjoyed watching this video...showing it to others and spreading the word about storm chasing. Simply put, this is great stuff, and it's REAL!" -Borders
"This video is about storm chasers. Sure, there's plenty of storms in here, but this video is unique because it concentrates solely on the human aspect of storm chasing - who these people are, why they do it..." -Gilbert Sebenste, The Storm Chaser Homepage
"In his documentaries, Lisius celebrates the storm chaser's appreciation for the whole experience: the open road, the luminous landscape, the vagaries of nature. And he strives to make viewers realize that the efforts of serious storm chasers are far from haphazard or solely for the rush of a death-defying thrill-they're providing valuable scientific research. While the stars of Twister chase swirling FX, Dallas filmmaker Martin Lisius woos the real thing."
-Doug Addison, Cinescape
