All his life Tanner Charles has been running towards the very thing that people most people run away from, Tornadoes! Since he was a teenager he has been a passionate storm chaser, constantly trying to get closer and closer to the danger. From Minnesota, Tanner now produces Youtube videos where he follows violent and destructive storms, sometimes driving for hours just to see one.
In this podcast interview, Tanner tells Colm about his love of seeing Tornadoes hit land and experiencing their sheer power. He also opens up about the most emotional storm chase ever where he found himself helping an elderly couple whose home was completely destroyed.
Colm and Tanner also talk about the ethics behind the videos he makes, and whether promoting and filming storm chasing is responsible, especially when they cause so much destruction, and sometimes even death.
Finally, in a surprising twist to the interview, Tanner reveals he is a Christian and talks about how he sees tornadoes as part of God's plan.
