Episode Notes
Melanie Metz, by her words, was born to chase tornadoes. With 20 years of storm chasing now under her belt – and a track record that makes her one of the best storm chasers out there – we don’t disagree. Melanie has had a passion for storms since she was young, and used to dream about tornadoes – even though she grew up in Arizona, which is better known for its epic lightning displays. She picked up photography in high school, and then started chasing and photographing storms after college. Melanie and her long-time chase partner Peggy Willenberg starred on the reality show “Twister Sisters,” which aired on Women’s Entertainment Network in 2007 and 2008. Peggy has since retired and Melanie has hit the road on her own (and was just nominated “2021 Storm Chaser of the Year,” in fact), but remains dedicated to encouraging women in chasing.
