The 2008 tornado season was historical for its ferocity.  Record breaking numbers of twisters struck Tornado Alley with a frequency not seen in years.  In June, north central and western Kansas were ground zero for tornado outbreaks that went on for days. 

Examiner.com continues to be granted special access to the Discovery Channel's Storm Chasers (Sunday’s @ 8:00pm MST) footage.  In this week's episode, the crew finds itself right in the thick of things.  The episode guide says:

No Place Like Kansas - Nov. 23 at 10 p.m. ET/PT
With the DOW and all the chase vehicles up and running again, the team finds themselves hunting in the same territory as the rival TVN crew. Tornadoes are forming all over western Kansas on what looks like the biggest day of the season.

This week's sneak peak - A funnel cloud begins to form in the skies over Quinter, Kansas as the the Storm Chasers scramble to approach it.
