Due to the size of VORTEX2 and the post “Twister” era fascination with storm chasing the media is highly interested in documenting the project. Storm Chasers, from the Discovery Channel, will be following Dr. Josh Wurman and one of his DOW for the upcoming season.

Also, the Weather Channel will be doing live updates from the field and run nightly segments with their anchor Mike Bettes, who will be embedded within the research group. You may view their website here: http://www.weather.com/tv/programs/Vortex.html . The website will include live streaming video.
