I don't need a tour to find TORS
All I need is time, which I rarely have these days. I know one of the guys involved with that outfit. They do a good job. If someone really wants to see a nice TOR off a LP (low precipitation) supercell (what you get out on the high plains) and doesn't know the first thing about forecasting, a tour is a good idea. Honestly, if you spend a week chasing the Plains you are going to spend a lot of cash anyway. Or you can wait for a fast-moving HP (high precip) cell in your backyard that is moving 55 mph through the trees, rain-wrapped, and you can punch the hail core and get in the bear's cage for a good view. Your choice. I don't recommend any amateur to chase down South.
I am not chasing tornadoes. I have been through one and got lucky. Not really something for me to mess with.I don't need a tour to find TORS

It's a totally different thing out on the Plains. You have to actually put yourself in danger to get fvcked up in a chase, do something stupid or just wanting to get really close. You can see for so far, it's easy to watch a tornado from miles and miles away out there. And the grid roads let you pick a spot. I've been in one spot watching two different storms with tornadoes, and was miles away from both. Down South? Shit, you think you are fine and here it comes from over a hill and behind the trees, whoops.
No doubt. Down South you can't see them coming. Thunderstorm you think. Then, bam. Tornado.
