In Storm Runners, Chase Masters and his Father travel around helping people get ready for storms after his Mom and Sister died. And after his father was struck by lightning and survived. On one particular trip, his father enrolls him in a new school and his Father is in a city 20 miles away where his Father thinks the hurricane wiill hit. As it turns out, the storm hits where Chase is and he and three other people must escape it.
