By day, Stuart Robinson (WxMan ) is an unassuming IT consultant, but in his spare time he is a fanatical storm chaser, who travels across the globe to witness the awesome power of nature first hand. Based in Leicestershire with long-suffering fiancé Alison, Stuart's interest in storms was sparked by the 90s Hollywood blockbuster `Twister'. He saw his first tornado in 2001 and has since seen 43 Tornadoes and experienced 8 Hurricanes.

Tis' logged in the Hummy!

Shame, I'm planning on cleaning the back of the fridge on that date and time.



No seriously well done!

[original PM]

I has a friend who was a storm chaser

he was a bit mad and had a double barrelled surname

congrats on your 15 mins of fame!

be careful though!

[Cliphead]

Nice one, I'll be watching

[d000hg]

Very nice.

How did this come about - did you contact them or vice versa?

Out of interest do they pay you, or expect you to give up your time for the honour of being on TV?

No he does not need an agent

[d000hg]

No he does not need an agent

Heh, I'm not offering... far too risky representing someone who may get blown away without paying.

Sounds like a nice gig to me.

Have you been on the TV before?

Only ask coz I saw a similar programme a couple of years back about a British storm chaser and he was seriously WACKO!

Strapping himself to piers so he could "witness" the sharp end of some of the largest typhoons the heavens could throw at him.

Congrats by the way

Now there's a Plan B, what are those big bubble things that you roll down hills in? Zorbs or something, get an extra padded one and let yourself be sucked into the air as the storm passes. What a ride.

Insurance might be difficult though.
