TRADD'S MISSION STATEMENT:

TRADD'S current mission started 25 years ago. Quite simply, to learn how to give people in
the path of a tornado as much warning as possible. Throughout the years, TRADD has saved
countless lives by giving first hand reports of forming tornadoes and their eventual path
towards people, property, and livestock. Working with local and state emergency
management teams, our continuing mission is to save lives while learning the mysteries of
mother nature's most violent form of weather, the tornado. Your participation as a paying
customer allows us to continue to save lives each year in tornado alley.

TRADD'S HISTORY:

TRADD was founded by the Buck family out of Abilene, TX. TRADD stands for (T)ornado
