Nick Bartholomew, founder of Storm Science, brings years of real-world experience, having documented more than 50 tornadoes and traveled across Tornado Alley to witness some of nature’s most intense storms. Nick will talk about the science behind severe weather phenomena, unraveling the mysteries of tornado formation and lightning displays.
