Since TWISTERS was released, we've seen a lot of interest in and heard a lot of questions about storm chasing, storm spotting and how the movie portrayed the science of tornadoes.

The webinar will be Thursday, August 29, 2024 from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM CDT. It's free and open to everyone, but you must register at the link below to attend:
