During college she did a thing called Storm Chasers. Ginger Zee is a meteorologist. She talked about what her job was and what she did. For a tornado to form there has to be lift. The tornado starts sideways and then turns vertical. After that it starts going down to the ground. Once she went inside of a tornado in a machine that weighed a lot and stuck to the ground. She also said that they send weather balloons up in the air. They send two weather balloons a day. The balloon is made with tough fabric so it won't pop that easily. Inside they put an anemometer to measure the wind speed.
