It’s welll known that storm chaser types drive like maniacs and endanger people for their fun hobby. Almost no useful data comes from this activity. Sad, and hope the trucker is ok.
I have a great distaste for storm chasers. It seems that any science generated from chasing is just a mere excuse for an adrenaline rush.
It boils down to watching farms, towns, and people being destroyed by nature... all for fun.
To put in another perspective, imagine chasers driving around a decaying urban environment hoping to witness a mugging, robbery, or murder for fun.
