Good excuse to get out of a speeding ticket? I dunno, sounds like fun.

Storm chasing is a hobby of considerable interest to those of us who are deeply interested in tornadoes and severe storms. There is a whole world of storm chasing enthusiasts now and chasing's growth as a hobby has exceeded my expectations. That growth means that more and more people are doing this than ever before, and some of the people currently storm chasing are not necessarily doing so in a safe, courteous, and responsible way. This essay is an attempt to articulate what I think are "rules" of storm chasing that everyone should heed, and some of the reasons behind those rules.

I realize that we live in a free country and you are quite free to behave in any manner you wish, irrespective of any rules and recommendations I might want to impose on you. If you choose to behave stupidly, there is nothing I can do about it. The highways are as open to you as they are to me. However, if you do something really dumb and that action in some way jeopardizes my opportunities to chase storms, then I reserve the right to be upset with your behavior and to create as many obstacles to your continued stupid behavior as I can think of and get implemented.

I think storm chasing is stupid, wreckless, insane and senseless. Yes the video's some people capture are interesting, but i will be damned if i'm gonna risk my life for such a thing.

My GF wants to tonado chase .... I think she's out of her mind! I don't fuck with tornados and I don't fuck with lightening.... just not a good idea IMO.

I agree that storm chasing is wreckless, insane, and all that other stuff. Good god I would love the chance to do it!!!!

Agree, although I would like to see a tornado one time in my life, but not in my neighborhood.
some people are adrenaline junkies

I have chased tornadoes and will continue to do so...We're not all adrenaline junkies as I drag race for that. It's an awe inspiring force of nature and those that don't respect that it is a FORCE are the ones with that on their tombstone from stormchasing. I do feel for the families of lives lost from the destruction of storms, but without the chasers, there would be many more lives lost. Many of the chasers are the ones that alert the NWS when a tornado touches down.
