Join professional storm chaser and photographer Hank Schyma on a whirlwind journey through the skies While destructive tornadoes most often make the headlines, all this excessive energy in the atmosphere can result in a spectacle of other wonders that leave us in awe. Not only is nature’s fury amplified with these explosive storms, so is its beauty and power, and that’s exactly what veteran storm chaser “Pecos” Hank Schyma celebrates in STORM. Bringing together the science of storms with Hank’s greatest storm chasing moments, STORM takes you on a visually captivating journey of the planet’s wildest weather systems. As well as gaining an understanding of how lightning strikes work and what a “supercell” is, you’ll also go behind-the-scenes of Hank’s discovery of the “green ghost” and explore both the largest and fastest tornadoes ever recorded – all told with Hank’s signature down-to-earth (and humorous) commentary. Whether you’re a wild weather fanatic or simply a fan of out-of-this world photography, you’ll find something to astonish you in these pages.
