Is there a common creed or set of ethics in chasing?
Yes. As in many hobbies and recreational outdoor pursuits (e.g., hunting, fishing, hiking, skiing, camping, etc.), storm chasing is covered by basic creeds for the good of the hobby, and for the safety of all who participate. Plus, unlike other outdoor hobbies, storm chasing is highly visible, and uniquely vulnerable to extreme and sensationalistic media promotion. This requires extra conscientiousness by storm chasers about how they behave in the field.
