Iowa falls all too easily into the old saying, don't like the weather? Wait five minutes. The problem is sometimes those weather changes take a turn for the severe and that is what inspired the Iowa Storm Chasing Network. Started in 2008 by Nick Weig and Ben McMillan, two friends with a passion for weather, the group's first chase came with one of the most devastating tornadoes in recent Iowa history, the Aplington-Parkersburg EF5 tornado.
