The Ball State Storm Chase Team mission is to provide the east-central Indiana community, particularly the city of Muncie and Ball State University, timely information regarding the state of severe thunderstorms within the local area. A second but parallel objective is to contribute to a greater understanding of severe local storms and severe local storms atmospheric environments in the Midwest.
