2023 Tour 7 - Violent Skies - We should have bought a cow!
It's a tradition at Tornadic Expeditions that when we see a tornado we eat steak! Eating steak has been engrained in storm-chasing culture for many years. I believe it started after the movie Twister when all the chasers went to Aunt Meg's house and had a delicious meal of steak and eggs! For Tour 7 2023, we should have bought a cow. It was the tour we all dream of. We witnessed 16 tornadoes during this tour from Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska. It was high-plains insanity! Let's take a look at the highlights!
