Here are just a few of the comments we hear after each season:

I have been touring with F5 for 5 years now and I have loved every minute of it. My friend and I picked F5 because we liked the thought of traveling around in SUV’s with a small group of people. It was the best decision we could have made. We have not only seen amazing weather on each tour but also fun tourist spots and small towns with genuinely nice people.

When I was searching on the Internet in 2008 for a storm chasing tour company, three factors were important in my final selection: safety, comfort, and a proven track-record for locating the storms. I chose F5! Tornado Safaris because they seem to meet all three of those factors. It was only going to be a one-time adventure for me so I wanted the best.
