ON THE ROAD
TRANSPORTATION
Gregg Potter, the founder of F5!, has always believed the only way to experience storms and traveling across the Great Plains is in small groups. Back in 1999 when we started, limited clients and heavy Suburbans made for the safest experience. Little has changed 25 years later. We spare no expense to encase our chasers in top-of-the-line SUVs equipped with cutting edge tornado technology and driven by professionals with decades of experience in Tornado Alley -- all with plenty of elbow room.
ACCOMMODATIONS
After a long day of pursuing funnel clouds -- sometimes crossing multiple state lines -- a swim, a hearty meal and an inviting room will indeed feel like heaven.
And while we can't promise you the Ritz Carlton in Bartlesville, Okla., Emporia, Kan., or Arkadelphia, Ark. (or wherever the winds might lead us), you might be surprised at the level of comfort we can track down in the small Plains communities where tornadoes roam. After all, these towns are our branch offices.
BREAKING BREAD
While we've always shared meals on the road as we decompress after a long day of pursuit, nobody ever looked forward to deciphering the check. F5! Tours are now have an all-inclusive option, with food as part of the package! That's one less thing to worry about as you chase lifetime memories (and some gnarly cloud formations) in our week together. You might say that stress is the only thing we want to take off your plate.
