3. Here's a story from Scientific American.

DENVER—I’ve just landed at Denver International Airport, and I’m traveling
to Kansas to meet up with the largest entourage of storm chasers in history.
So at the risk of being insensitive to those who live in Tornado Alley—
the area between the Rockies and the Appalachian Mountains—I’m happy that
there are a few severe storms on the horizon.

For the next three days, I’m joining the great tornado hunt, called VORTEX2,
a veritable army of 80 scientists and support crew driving 35 trucks across
the central Great Plains in tight formation. Imagine the logistics:
Pulling up to a gas station for a pit stop becomes a major undertaking.

I’ll be here for the waning days of twister season, which lasts from April
through mid-June. So far, this year has been remarkably quiet, with only
221 tornadoes in May, while May 2008 saw 461. Maybe the big ones are
coming in June.
