We are looking for one enthusiastic
WeatherBug user to join us on the first few
days of WeatherBug's 2005 Storm Chase.

The winner will be flown to the Midwest to hunt tornadoes
and other natural wonders. This is like the movie
"Twister," but the real deal!


Any enthusiastic WeatherBug user who...

  • has a strong desire to be a storm chaser on a severe weather observation team and...
  • is in good health with no known health conditions that would limit participation as stated by a doctor.

You’ll have a front seat to a once in a lifetime experience as you literally hunt down the wildest of weather in the Midwest. You will also share your experiences with the public through a daily journal and conference calls with schools and potentially with national reporters!


  • The WeatherBug Desktop Application (with over 19
    million unique users each month)
  • WeatherBug Achieve, the online teaching tool used
    by over 8,000 schools in the U.S.
  • To over 100 local broadcast partners in the U.S. that
    reach over 80 million households a month
  • Potentially in nationwide media coverage from print
    press covering the event

The winner will join the team from Sunday, May 1st through Wednesday, May 4th. The winner may be invited to stay longer.


Travel expenses, hotel and food.


WeatherBug meteorologists and university student meteorologists who will provide expertise during the Chase.
