  • Legitimatizing the Storm Chasing Community…

    GWC is a refreshingly necessary addition opening doors to women in an overly-masculine, male dominated, education under-resourced storm-chasing community. It bridges education and inclusivity into the chasing world by empowering women and making them feel like they belong. Kudos to them for fostering an environment that develops, empowers, and rewards those who want to step into this exciting world and giving them access to resources to do so.
