Explore nature's wildest weather shows through the eyes of a storm chaser.

A thrilling introduction to the world of storms, told in the unmistakable voice of Hank Schyma.

Over three decades of storm chasing, Hank Schyma has witnessed some of planet Earth's most incredible weather shows. STORM brings together the very best of his work, featuring dramatic photography, unforgettable stories from the road, and clear, engaging explanations of the science behind the storms.

Inside this book you'll find:

  • Thrilling stories from decades of chasing storms across the US and beyond, including behind-the-scenes accounts of record-breaking tornadoes and incredible lightning shows.
  • Detailed graphics and clear, accessible breakdowns of the science behind the spectacle, from how hurricanes form to what makes a tornado spin.
  • A collection of Hank's out-of-this-world storm and nature photography, showcasing everything from epic lightning bolts to massive supercells.
  • Chapters covering thunderstorms, lightning, transient luminous events (TLEs), supercells, tornadoes, and tropical cyclones.

Whether you're a long-time fan of Hank's or simply curious about what makes our weather so wild, STORM invites you into Hank's worldโ€”a place of big skies, bigger energy, and a lifelong fascination with nature at its most extreme.

Looking for the perfect photography book, nature book, or weather book? STORM will astonish you with every page.
