Critics Review
Praise for Chasing Helicity. Meteorologist Ginger Zee deftly balances the science of storms, their fascination to storm chasers, and Helicity’s angst and family problems.

About The Author
Ginger Zee
Ginger Zee is “Good Morning America’s” chief meteorologist, reporting on the nation’s weather throughout the morning broadcast. Since joining ABC News, Zee has covered almost every major weather event and dozens of historic storms. She broadcasted from the devastated Jersey Shore during Hurricane Sandy, the Colorado floods and wildfires, and covered the wreckage from tornados in Moore and El Reno, Oklahoma.
Zee’s love of adventure does not stop at studying the atmosphere in the center of the storm. She para-hawked in Nepal, para-glided from the Himalayas to the Andes, dove with sharks in the Bahamas, rappelled 27 stories down the exterior facade of the Wit Hotel in Chicago, plus has gone ice boat racing and surfing. She lives in New York City with her husband and son.
