Chasers, not Spotters. Spotters find a safe place, check into the net, and stay there. Chasers are the guys that can't get insurance to cover their windshield replacements anymore.

The difference between a spotter and a chaser is 50 iq points. I was/am a spotter.

In my tiny Texas town, we have spotters who go to the highest places possible to report on the weather.

Discretion is the better part of valor.

Too many things in this world will get you killed.

Also an NOAA and multi-county severe storm spotter, not a Chaser - but I know a bunch of fellas who are.

I don’t have the funds or the guts/stupidity to risk myself chasing nature’s most furious and unpredictable storm. I’m also not a meteorologist.

I’m about saving lives, not getting jollies.
