Storm Chaser Sean Casey Blows into the Science Center
August 17th, 2011
August 20, 2011 – Meet and Greet is Free with Admission
IMAX filmmaker Sean Casey and his one-of-a-kind Tornado Intercept Vehicle will be making a special appearance in San Diego at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park this Saturday, August 20, 2011.
Named one of the “Fifty Best Minds of the Year” in 2008 by Discover magazine, Casey currently stars in Discovery Channel’s Storm Chasers reality series, one of the highest-rated cable shows on television. In addition, Casey is an inventor of sorts, having designed two tornado intercept vehicles, or TIVs, the second of which was used in the filming of the IMAX film Tornado Alley.
During the event on Saturday, guests will be able to climb inside the 14,000 pound armored vehicle that Casey and his team navigated into the center of a tornado. Guests will also have the opportunity to Meet Casey, take a photo, get an autograph and ask him all of your questions about chasing some of the world’s largest tornados. It’s an exciting day of family fun that no extreme weather enthusiast will want to miss!
The Meet and Greet with Casey is planned in conjunction with the IMAX film Tornado Alley, which is currently playing at the Science Center’s IMAX Theater. Directed, written and featuring Sean Casey, Tornado Alley takes viewers on an epic chase through the “severe weather capital of the world” and for the first time in film history – straight into the heart of an actual tornado!
Sean Casey and his TIV will be at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center on Saturday, August 20, 2011. The Science Center is located in Balboa Park at 1875 El Prado, two blocks south of the San Diego Zoo on Park Boulevard. This family friendly event is free with admission to the Science Center. Advance ticket purchases for the Tornado Alley screenings are recommended.
