The Black Wind

Published: Aug. 29, 2024, 1 p.m.

Chase the storm until it chases you. Tornadoes! They don\u2019t look like they do in the movies. When you\u2019re in the path of one, all you\u2019ll see is a wall of black wind. This week, Snap is heading directly into the monster\u2019s maw to chase storms that should be left alone.

Big thanks to Craig Wolter! Thank you, Windom High School... especially Sarah, Benny, and Danielle. Crystal Frank, another student on the trip, shared her home video with us. This story would not have been possible without her.

Many thanks also to Sue, for sharing your story with us. Sue\u2019s memoir is titled The Lake Turned Upside Down.\xa0

Produced by John Fecile, original score by Renzo Gorrio, artwork by Teo Ducot.
