Been stung by hype over tornado videos from which you learn nothing and that almost put you to sleep? Tired of TV documentaries that skimp on real-life footage and fill time with "head shots"? Then don't take our word for the quality of these videos! Read the comments from some of our customers!

Remember, the only company in the world that sells the original, two hour, "director's cut" versions of the Tornado Video Classics series and accompanying guides is the Tornado Project.

The Tornado Project is the only company whose full time concern is bringing together the best video and information for our customers. We don't produce tornado videos just to fill air time and then move on to another subject. The creation of tornado-related materials is more than a business to us, it is a commitment.
