APPETIZER
We wouldn’t know the power of the storm with- out the bold and brave front liners, directing their waterproof lenses into the hurricane’s eye, the fun- nel clowd’s cortex, the monsoon’s retina, the del- uge’s dark and dizzying iris. Girls Who Chase is a collective of female storm chasers based around the world who are working to diversify the culture of storm chasing. Girls Who Chase’s mission “is to inspire, empower and equip girls and women to pursue storms, the sciences, and their passions.” Throughout The Tempest Issue, we chase storms captured here in the wunder-weath- er US of A by the collective’s founder Jen Walton, along with members Melanie Metz, Tori Ostberg, and Lori Bailey, from Arizona to Iowa, South Dakota to Illinois.
