I have no idea if they're any good at tours, but you can go with the TVN team: http://www.extremetornadotours.com/experience

This is always something I've wanted to do. TVN Tours are rumoured to be among the best.

I saw the Storm Chasers while passing through Kansas, there was a massive storm brewing, I had no idea where it was, didnt cross my mind it would be a tornado until after the storm chasers flew past in the opposite direction biggrin

Been looking into it for next year, costs range from $2500-$3500 for 7-10 days, flights not included.

You're not guaranteed to see a tornado but you'll see supercells etc.

Just do a fly drive and take an ipad for weather updates and you'll see super cells.

Thats my plan, all you need is a decent weather app or use the storm chasers website on a laptop, you'll see just as much.
