Tornadoes can be fierce, destructive, and deadly. They strike suddenly where warm and cold air collide. Different instruments, as simple as balloons or as technical as electronic robots, have been used to study their path. Many storm chasers are scientists, pilots, and photographers who want to learn more about the characteristics of tornadoes. Their goal is to learn enough about tornadoes so they can predict their path, and give people the time to get to safety.
