So you want to be a tornado chaser? You want to run with the thrill-seekers, outwit Mother Nature, feel the rush and capture the moment for a viral web page. You want bragging rights with the kids and to rekindle the admiration in your spouse’s eyes. Well, we have just what you need: tornado lessons! This presentation will show you what you are up against – the nature of the beast itself, the thunderstorm types that spawn the funnels, the meteorological conditions that grow the storms and, to make sure you really want to do this, a discussion of the hazards and outright dangers. If you are still game, this discussion will show you how to get there and what to do when you arrive.

Registration for the 2025 Nature Manitoba workshops will open for members on January 1, 2025
