Chasing the wildest storms on the planet.
Ricky's mobile weather tracking station allows him to safely chase and document severe weather events. The finely tuned instruments mounted in his truck, a tangerine Ford F-250 named Brutus, tell Ricky and his team of storm chasers where to watch for sudden changes to a tornado's path of destruction.

Chasing the Wildest Storms on the Planet (0:32)
For over a decade, Ricky Forbes has immersed himself in the heart of the wildest storms on the planet. He's witnessed over 500 tornadoes and was even caught inside the world's largest tornado—a beast that measured an astonishing 2.6 miles (4 kilometers) wide.
Ricky's pursuit of the extraordinary has led to media appearances, inspired documentaries, and sparked the creation of his own Netflix series, “Tornado Hunters.”
When he's not chasing funnel clouds, Ricky calls Saskatoon, Saskatchewan home and enjoys recharging with his family, volunteering, and delivering inspirational presentations to diverse audiences.
