Whats the relationship between storm chasing and storm spotting ?
Storm spotters are mostly unpaid volunteers who serve their local communities in mitigating the impacts of hazardous events like tornadoes. They’re generally not allowed to roam freely about, chasing whatever storms they wish. Rather, they have a job to do and they’ve generously volunteered their time on behalf of the citizens in their community. Chasing is basically irresponsible activity (or, perhaps somewhat less pejoratively, self-centered activity), done by individuals who, for reasons of their own (some good, some not-so-good), want to see storms.
