Hurricane hunting latest in adventure travel
A handful of companies have started offering the ultimate in storm-chasing trips: hurricane hunting.
The companies in Florida, Texas and Oklahoma are charging upwards of $1,500 for three days or so of searching out miserable weather.
Customers generally go on 48-hour e-mail notice lists. They fly to the site of a predicted landfall and jump in vans with reclining seats to wait for the storm.
The business has its elements of controversy, but some operators such as David Gold, whose company is Silver Lining, defend the trips as educational. He and others say they go out of their way to practice safe hurricane watching.
