The latest Hint - sorry no correct solutions as yet so here is a REAL clue! Thanks for those who have persisted but this should help you on your way.

Guess a SEVERE STORM EVENT and its AFFECT.

Then search using your guesses as keywords within the ads search and look for the solutions "WITHIN" the search advertisements. In other words, the solution is NOT part of the ASW website! For the actual solution try browsing the google search results ads' websites. You must go into the websites in the listed  ads.

The solution is the name of a company in the search results and something they do.

This topic is locked with competition continuing here and with $200 worth of prizes! Yes we have doubled the prize money from the original competition.

Storm chasing is dangerous. Do not storm chase unless you have consulted or chased with others who have proven extensive chase experience.
