She broadcasted from the devastated Jersey Shore during Hurricane Sandy, the Colorado floods and wildfires, and covered the wreckage from tornados in Moore and El Reno, Oklahoma. In 2013, she covered extreme weather conditions ranging from the Boston blizzard to the record-breaking heat in Death Valley. Zee’s love of adventure does not stop at studying the atmosphere in the center of the storm. She has gone parahawking in Nepal, para-glided from the Himalayas to the Andes, dove with sharks in the Bahamas, rappelled 27 stories down the exterior façade of the Wit Hotel in Chicago, plus has gone ice boat racing and surfing. She has also been a storm chaser since college.

The weather in this scene is very ominous. “It was a very dark evening for summer: the clouds appeared inclined to thunder,” Nelly tells Lockwood (124). Not much later, a horrible storm begins. “There was a violent wind,” Nelly says, “and either one or the other split a tree off at the corner of the building...but the uproar passed away in twenty minutes, leaving us all unharmed, excepting Cathy, who got thoroughly drenched” (125).

“It’s raining cats and dogs!” my mom exclaimed, doing nothing to lessen the tension in the car.

“I was super nervous” says Davis. As her and her fellow choir members were waiting to go on stage.The Westover Junior High choir were performing for the first time. “ It’s nerve racking because you never know if you will or someone else will mess up and then the whole choir could go down.” adds Davis. Mrs. Daniels finished her intro it was time for the big moment. “We walk onstage just like we practiced the day before.” explains Davis. The bright lights hit their faces as

After I got through the struggle of packing a bunch of randomness it was time for the tedious car ride. I slept half the way there and looked out the window at all the new roads and landmarks. We drove for seven hours, but then decided to stop and get some rest in buffalo minnesota.

We cram our suitcases in my mother’s minivan along with groceries to cook when we get there. Along the way I realize that I forgot my purse at home in a rush to get going. I began thinking of blaming my brother who took so long at school but I decided against it. Every available spot in the car is taken leaving little room for anyone to breathe. We take off on the two hour drive to Missouri.

Alright Alright, It's memorial day and it is still 1000 degree with no end in sight. This may be the end of the world and we all cook to death... who knows. As I cannot convince any of my buddies to get out of there air conditioning safety bubbles, I sit inside too contemplating what to do. Being inside seemed to be the only option for myself and I wasn't too thrilled. It was time for dinner and as the food was cooking I looked at my phone to see my weather app and the snapchat weather people inform me that there was rain coming. As Zimmerman was just getting hit by rain, people south of me were running from tornados which actually seemed pretty entertaining and better than sitting inside bored.

A Storm is a natural disaster that affects the atmosphere causing severe weather. Storms can lead to loss of life and property. Paul was an eight-year-old boy, who barely understood color, sight, and sound when he experienced his first storm. Paul Crenshaw lived in Logan County, Arkansas, a region known for its violent weather (79). In his essay, Paul wrote about the reading of sky and trees, the quest for survival, and the alluring sight of nature during a storm.

“Whoa.” Rose muttered to herself looking out the window. Some people say that this might be the most powerful storm in that area for fifty years. Rose turned away from the window to grab her phone.

The next day we wanted to head out early so we could make it to Colorado and have time to see some sites and visit my aunt and uncle. After we said thanks for letting us stay with my Aunt Alks and Uncle Pinakin's house, we were on our way. I wasn't really looking forward to the drive ahead because I remember how long it was the first time I had to make the trip, and it gets uncomfortable. The only thing I like when we go to Colorado is that we lose an hour. This was probably the most boring trip on our journey because most of the land we traveled was in Nebraska and it was flat and plain. There was nothing really significant about this trip until we got to Colorado. Flat land changed into mountains and country turned into city. That part of it was really interesting because it was like we could see the invisible line separating Colorado and Nebraska. It took us a little while to find my aunt in Golden, Colorado because the directions were a little hard to follow. I guess no one wanted to see anything because almost as soon as we were
