British storm chaser follows supercell tornados across the US

A British social worker has spent thousands of pounds on her unusual hobby of chasing supercell tornados and electrical storms across the US.

Storm chaser Abbi Adair, 50, says she is 'never scared' despite braving giant hailstones, whirlwinds and huge storms as part of her pursuit.

She went on her first tour, which costs around £9,000 altogether including flights, in 2018 and since then has been on three more trips to see extreme weather.

But despite seeing such extreme weather conditions including supercell tornados - which are the most dangerous type - the social worker insists she's never felt unsafe.
