F5! Tornado Safaris is a small operator based in Palm Desert, California, led by storm chaser Gregg Potter, who also forecasts weather for business clients. The season is short: about two weeks every May, when tornado chances on the Plains are at their highest. Guests ride in an SUV instead of a big van, so the vehicle turns around fast and reaches a target sooner. Hotels are picked along the route, depending on where the storms end up.
Fits people who want a quiet trip with a couple of guests and a guide who explains how a supercell forms. Not for anyone who needs dates fixed months in advance: the daily plan follows the forecast, and the calendar is thin, so seats go early. Season prices and discounts are published on the site. Long drives, late dinners and the risk of a quiet week come with the format.
