‘Tornado Week’ has a strong Wichita flavor

This is “Tornado Week” on The Weather Channel, and there’s a strong Wichita flavor to the cable channel’s activities.

Nine storm chasers are featured on The Weather Channel’s Web site, including Katherine Bay, Jim Reed and Jon Davies. Bay and Reed live in Wichita, and Davies called Wichita home for several years before moving to the Kansas City area not long ago.

I have met and chatted with a couple of other chasers included on the site: Chuck Doswell and Roger Hill.

The site includes profiles of each chaser, a Q & A with them, and photos and videos of severe weather.
