Why chase storms?
Another question I dislike. People have their own reasons for chasing, and it really is not anyone else’s business why I do so. I’ve had a lifelong fascination with tornadoes. My career as a meteorologist springs directly from that fascination; I didn’t believe I could learn about tornadoes without seeing them, and I still hold to that philosophy. There are many places to get some insights about chasing: see the Chasing FAQ by Roger Edwards and Tim Vasquez, an essay on the subject by Dave Hoadley, and some of the articles in the 20th Anniversary Issue of Storm Track magazine.
