As with any type of storm chasing, P.D.S. Storm Tours guarantees that you will see a storm capabile of producing a tornado. Tornadoes only happen in about 10% of all severe storms; however, you will see awesome storm structure, hail and lightning.

Our team utilizes the latest in Doppler radar programs to decipher storm structure and pick the best storm to chase. Our seasoned chase forecasters also use Storm Prediction Center and National Weather Service forecasting models to allow our tours to be ahead of the storms and in good position to witness and document severe weather and tornadoes when they happen.
