Content introduction
"Go, chase the storm!" Imagine a meteorologist slamming on the brakes, drifting to a stop in front of you, Shouting these words from the window of a custom-made storm-chasing "armored vehicle." The wind was howling, he was cheering, it was all chaos - and yet you clearly saw his grinning face, the adrenaline pumping like never before! In the book, the author recounts amazing storm-chasing trips, his years at Harvard University, and the basics of meteorology. He can be found in Florida, Hanoi, Morocco, Fez and the snowy North Pole. Ultimately, he said, he wanted to live a life of looking up and chasing new horizons. With the right company and a fearless attitude, every day can be an adventure. Sometimes all you need to do to start an adventure is look up.
