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.
Exactly right. And in their adrenaline zeal, they zoom down back roads, blow through stop signs, etc. They have cause numerous accidents.
And we should just be honest. There is no “science” happening. Everything they learn is learned from radar, and walking around in the aftermath, and in a lab.
