The LaSalle Public Library will be hosting licensed storm chaser Nick Bartholomew from Illinois Storm Chasers on Tuesday, March 21st, at 6:00 p.m. central, for a virtual presentation on the science of severe weather. In his presentation, Nick will discuss local climatology and past tornadic events, while providing photos and videos of his own storm-chasing experiences.

Nick Bartholomew has been obsessed with the weather for as long as he can remember. When he was younger, he was interested in the weather but was terrified when thunderstorms would roll in. As he grew older that fear turned into a burning desire to understand severe weather, and as soon as he got his license, he would go on local chases to see Mother Nature up close. In 2016, he decided to kick it up a notch and start traveling to Tornado Alley, having documented over a dozen tornadoes so far in his career.

This program will be presented virtually and is free and open to the public. To register, please use the following link – https://bit.ly/3YAzgZ0. For more information, please contact the LaSalle Public Library at 815-223-2341.
