In mid-July, severe storm season reaches its peak on the Canadian prairies. Already, hundreds of hail-related crop insurance claims have been filed, and several tornadoes have touched down across the prairies. 

For a farmer, a single storm could wipe out weeks or months of hard work.  

Cochrane, Alberta-based storm chaser Braydon Morisseau has seen firsthand the damage severe weather can cause.  

In an interview with Rural Roots Canada,  Morisseau said there are things we can do to keep ourselves and our properties as safe as possible.
