Enter to win a chance to go tornado hunting alongside a professional storm chaser during the peak of the 2025 severe weather season

ORLANDO, FL / ACCESSWIRE / July 18, 2024 / As anticipation builds for tomorrow's theater release of "Twisters," MyRadar offers the exclusive opportunity for weather enthusiasts to live out their storm-chasing fantasy. The Ultimate Storm-Chasing Adventure contest promises one lucky winner an adrenaline-pumping experience to chase storms alongside an expert MyRadar storm chaser.

The timing of this contest aligns perfectly with the release of "Twisters," the highly anticipated sequel to the 1996 blockbuster. As movie-goers prepare to be thrilled by Hollywood's depiction of storm chasing, MyRadar provides a real-life adventure with a grand prize that includes a trip for two to chase tornadoes with MyRadar's senior meteorologist, Matthew Cappucci, a renowned storm chaser and correspondent of The Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang.

"If you've ever seen a viral tornado video and wondered what being up close might be like, this is your shot," said Cappucci. "The winner will experience the thrill of the chase in nature's biggest classroom - the atmosphere. This once-in-a-liftime opportunity will provide the chance to encounter wild supercells, mega hail and possibly a strategic tornado intercept."

The contest's prize package includes the following:

• Round-trip airfare for two within the United States (up to $600 per person).

• Hotel accommodations to live like a storm chaser for up to five nights.

• Up to five days riding alongside a MyRadar designated storm chaser. The specific dates and locations will be arranged with the winner to ensure the most spectacular weather events.

The sweepstakes run from now through Dec. 15. U.S. residents 18 and older can enter once weekly by filling out the entry form on MyRadar's website. The winner will be randomly selected on or about Dec. 16.

The trip will be tailored to conducive weather conditions and will last a minimum of three days during the April-June 2025 severe weather season. The MyRadar team, led by experienced professionals like Cappucci, prioritizes safe and responsible storm-chasing practices and educational opportunities throughout the experience.

"It's nature, so there are no guarantees on what exactly you'll see, but odds are you'll see something pretty cool," Cappucci added. "Plus, you'll be learning every step of the way - about safe positioning, forecasting, navigating and what it's like to be a storm chaser."

MyRadar will also host an educational webinar titled "Tornado Movies: Fact or Fiction," which will explore the accuracy of tornado portrayals in popular films and separate sensationalized Hollywood myths from scientific facts on Friday, Aug. 2, at 3 p.m. EDT. Led by Cappucci, the informative webinar will break down iconic tornado scenes, discussing what moviemakers got right and where they missed the mark.
