How Storm Chasers Work

Storm Chasers observe and record tornados or hurricans. There are some really good reasons for chasing storms, mainly for scientific research. Storm chasers do not always get to expirence a tornado because sometimes the weather forecast is wrong or they do not time things correctly.
Why Be A Storm Chaser:
fun excitment- You can have a lot of fun and excitment even though it is very dangerous. Sometimes guides even take people on tours.
Profit-some storm chasers earn some money from the photographs or video clips they capture on the job.
research-Most storm chasers collect weather data when they get close to a tornado.
some good reasons for being a storm chaser is that you only have to work during the storm weather. they usualy have to wait a week to find a good storm to chase. no they dont allways see a storm
the reason to be a storm chaser id for excitement to have an adrennalin rush of excitement . also for the rush of fun to be in a tornado
Storm Chasers observe and record tornados and hurricanes. One good reason to chase these deadly storms are for scientific research. But the storm chasers do not always get to expirence tornados because sometimes the storm cant produce a tornado or they time things wrong or chase the wrong storm.
They are many reasons to become a storm chaser. One reason is for fun and excitment.Another reason is for research and one last reason is for profit. By profit I mean some storm chasers get great video/photographs and then sell them to somebody and get money.
BY RACHEL ROYER and ETHAN MERCURIO
@ Sydney Kilgore:
Would you want to be a storm chaser???
Rachel Royer and Ethan Mercurio
You get to see storms first hand, and experience them. They can wait up to 8-12hrs and not see a single storm. No not always they can be like 2 miles away from a storm and not make it there in time to see it.
Brendan McWilliams
Rachel: I think it would be an exciting job, but i dont think i would want to do it. It looks like a hard job and is very dangerous.
What kind of equitment do you think they have to use?
It takes courage to storm chase, because tornados and hurricanes are the most dangerous storms. Some good reasons to be a storm chaser is mainly for scientific research, but also people make a living off of selling photos of storms. Storm chasers have to wait 8-12 hours driving looking and researching storms to follow, and sometimes they dont get to see one because of a bad forecast and there could be multiple storms and they pick the wrong one.
@ Sydney, I agree with you that storm chasing seems very exciting and could be very fun, but also dangerous. To Storm chase, you would have to risk a lot becuase you wont know what might happen with a tonado or hurricane.
@Sydney: I think trhey have to use heavy gear and armoured cars to protect themselves from high winds and debris.
Storm Chasers observe and record tornados or hurricans. There are really good reasons for chasing storms, mainly for scientific research.
Storm chasers do not always get to expirence a tornado because sometimes the weather forecast is wrong or they do not time things correctly.
Fun and excitement - It's probably a bad idea to go out and chase storms just for kicks, but these are definitely driving factors for many chasers.
Profit - There are some people who make a living selling footage and images they capture of storms.
Research - Most storm chasers collect weather data when they get close to a tornado. They may have other motivations, but at the heart of every storm chaser there is a curiosity about these inspiring storms.
Storm chasers gather research from tornadoes and hurricanes.Storm chasers have to wait a long time to see a tornado but they don't always see one.
Storm Chasers observe and record tornados or hurricans.One good reason to chase these deadly storms are for scientific research.Storm chasers have to wait 8-12 hours driving looking and researching storms to follow. No the storm chasers don't always get to see storms because diffrent storms can be going on at the same time then the storm chasers have to gamble between them.
David Meiners
I don't really have what it takes to be a storm chaser. I don't have a laptop, a camera, or the car. I wouldn't really want to be a storm chaser anyway, but if I did, I still wouldn't be prepared. The job wouldn't really be worth it because it probably isn't high paying, and you don't always see a storm. Anyway, I don't think I have what it takes.
Sam Tendam
Elizabeth i agree with you that you should go out and be a storm chaser because for fun and excitement since its very dangerous.
David Meiners
they spend 8 to 10 hours driving. also they dont always get to see storms because they might go to a different storm and not the right one that devlops on the ground. storm chasers are pros at this kind of weather its no meant for everyone. also their job is really dangous, but they risk everything for science.
@Drew Vaive:
Being in a tornado would be pretty scary for me, but just watching it would be cool. Also, you would probably die if you were in a tornado. I can imagine that you would get a rush in a storm though.
Sam Tendam
Some good reasons to be a storm chaser is it really els on studying them and if we study them we might be able to find how they form and how to know when they are coming faster. Storm chasers usually wait around a week for a good storm. they don't all ways see storms but that is a big let down.
I agree with Sydney Kilgore i think it would be very fun to be a storm chaser that is a job that would never get old.
I don't think I have what it takes to be a stormchaser because i'm not good with complicated equipmet. Some good things that come from being a stormchaser is that you can donate your discovories to science. Some gear that they use are computers, high teck viecales, and canorras. They have to wait at least 1 week. No they don't always get to see a storm.
Alex Richmond
Their are many reasons to be a storm chaser because it is very exciting an thrilling. Other people would also think you are very brave to do a very dangerous job. You also have to make the right decision. And I bet you also get a lot of pay.
You get to see some of the most dangerous storms in the world. Storm Chasers would have to wait until the/ or another storm approaches them which is about a week in length. Storm chasers don't always get to see a storm when they are hunting for one(1).
I agree with Sydney Kilgore because they observe then record what they see. Most of their reasons for chasing storms is mainly for scientific research. Also, they dont always get to see a storm because of the weather forecast of being wrong.
To be a storm chaser you have to be really patient because you spend 12 hours a day waiting for tornadoes to form. Sometimes there aren't even tornadoes. One reason you to be a storm chaser is to get video of the inside of a tornado. Storm chasers have to wait 12 hours sometimes without tornadoes.
The waiting can very from a couple hours to months. They won't always see a storm, its mostly luck.
Storm Chasers observe and record different things about tornadoes and hurricanes.There are some really good reasons to chase storms, manily for sciencetific reasons.Chasers can not always encounter the tornado or hurricane because they do not want to get killed or hurt really badly.
Being a Storm Chaser would be fun because would come face to face with the storm or natural disaster.
Andrew Hudson
MEGAN SHERIDAN Helped Madison Schnell!
You gave to chase tornadoes for 12 hours you get to see how powerful it is. !2 hours. No not all the time they have to be close before it tuches down or it will be to late.
By ted young
Good reasons to chase a storm would be for scientific resarch. The gear the use on the staorms are, Video camera, Digital camera, Lap top computer, and some radios. The storm chasers wait a long time for a storm.
storm chasers record,observe and research tornadoes, storms, and hurrcains. They mainly chase storms for the scientific researches and for some of them for fun. Even though weather channels may say that theres going to be a storm, it may not happen so storm chasers have to be carful on which storms to choose.
why be a storm chaser? some of them do it for the experience and fun, others for the research, and some of them for the profit. storm chasers can make money from taking videos of the tornadoes and sell it and turn it into a video
I agree with joey you have to wait a while but joey all you put was they had to wait a while but its not always 12 hours.
Some times they wait days and the forcast may show a storm but they dont always get one
I agree with brendan to see a tornadoe for the first time it is egsilerating
By ted young
A good reason to be a storm chaser is that you can gather scientific data. Another good reason is that it's fun and exciting. They have to wait 8 to 12 hours in a boring car. They don't always see a storm either. But, I think being a storm chaser would be awesome!
it takes a lot to be a storm chaser. they spend about 12 hours searching for the storm and may only get glimpses. so, no they dont always see the storm like in the video. they had one mess up and didn't get to see it.they chase a storm for scientific research. some even make a living by selling picutres and videos. i dont think i could be a storm chaser because i dont like storms in general. plus if we didnt get to see a storm i would be very frustrated that after all that time spent getting ready for it, we missed it. it would be a very exciting job though. it would always surprise you, and keep you on your toes. im also no very patcient, so to wait 8-12 hours would be too long to wait for me. i wouldnt want to risk my life everyday like that either. therefore, no i would not like to be a storm chaser.
Storm chasers record tornados and hurricans. They chase storms for scientific research and to make money by selling their pictures.
They dont always get to see a tornado because they might not get there in time or the storm doesn't develop.
It would be very interesting to be a storm chaser, mostly it fun to watch the storms and get to travel.
They can also make money by taking people on tours.
They collect weather data when they get close to a storm.
I agree with alex richmond I would do the same
@ elizabeth spaulding:
i agree, i dont think that you should just go and search for a storm to follow for fun. you should do it if you truly care about it and think its a great job.
its just too dangerous to go and find a storm to randomly chase, like you said, for kicks.
I think it would would be very dangerous. The storm chasers record tornados. There are some really good reasons for chasing storms mainly, scientific research, though a few people make a living selling photographs or footage of storms.
~Daniel O'Hearn~
some good reasons are it is exiting and you only have to work basicly when extreme weather happens.the storm chasers have to wait till a storm comes.
There are some really good reasons for chasing storms -- mainly, scientific research, though a few people make a living selling photographs or footage of storms.they dont have to wait very long.they dont always see a tornado/storm it depends on where thier at.
stephanie,
how do they know where a storm is.
drew i think storm chasers do what they do for more than just exitment
~Daniel O'Hearn~
Many people are storm chaseres because they want to research storms and sometimes it can be fun. It is really dangerous but it would feel really good to witness a tornado. Most chaseres get weather research when they catch a tornado.
to be a storm chaser you need to have love for storms, time and patience. storm chasers can make a living selling photographs of tornadoes. storm chasers can have a 12 hour drive to try to get a storm when its not garenteed that they will find one.
YAHANZ VELASQUEZ
maadison, That would suck to ride in a car for 8-12 hours looking for a tornado. it would especially suck if they picked the wrong storm and they didnt get the tornado experience they wanted
Storm chasers watch and record information about tornadoes and/or hurricanes. The reasons for storm chasers are mainly for research. Not all storm chasers are so successful though because the weather forecasts may be wrong or they may get there at the wrong time.
Why Storm Chasers?
Storm Chasers have a lot of fun and excitement while they are on the job, even though their job is dangerous, they still have lots of fun while doing it. Aldo, some of the storm chasers videos and images can earn them money, this means that while they are having fun they can also be making a profit. Most storm chasers also collect a lot of useful research while on a chase.
i agree with George and think its dangerous going out there and it is.
YAHANZ VELASQUEZ
Some good reasons to be a storm chaser are for scientific reserches. Amatures can never go storm chasing though because it is very dangorus. You have to go through many years of training. Being a storm chaser takes alot of work because actually a very methodical practice that requires lots of time spent studying weather data, driving, waiting and more driving. Storm chasers can spend 12 hours or more driving around and still not see a tornado.
some people do it for the scientific research. others for the money after selling the pictures. 12 hours.no.
I aggree with Alex Richmond. Im not that good with equpitment like that. I would be able to do it if i put my mind to it, but it would get really confusing.
@hailey
I agree,i dont think i could be a storm chaser because i dont like storms plus either. And if we didnt get to see a storm i would be very frustrated that after all that time spent getting ready for it, we missed it.
Storm chasers record tornados and hurricans. They usually do it for Scientific Research. They don't always get to see a storm, sometimes they miss them. Even though it's very dangerous to be a Storm Chaser, it's also very very exciting ! You can earn money from it too by getting research and weather data from tornados.
-Corissa Sturm,(:
The main reason for storm chasing is for scientific research. They sometimes have to wait 8-12 hours driving around to see a storm and there is no guarantee of seeing a tornado. I could never be a storm chaser because I can't be in a car or small space for too long and I would be afraid of the storm.
Storm Chasers observe and record tornados and hurricanes.Some good reasons to be a storm chaser is mainly for scientific research.They spend about 12 hours searching for the storm and may only get glimpses. Another reason is for money. You can get money by taking a picture of a tornadoe or something and sell it for money. People can be storm chasers for fun and excitment, but it is also dangerous.
~Kailey Carter~
Some good reasons to be a storm chaser is that you only have to work during the storm weather. It's also useful scientific research.
Sometimes storm chasers wait from 8-12 hours and not see anything worth getting research on. People become storm chasers for the thrill and excitement, some do it for the research, and some do it for the profit they can make off of their research, tapes, and photos. Storm chasers don't always get to see a storm because the storms are unpredictable.
I agree with Sydney because It would be a cool job but I would not like to do it because it's too dangerous.
Some good reasons of being a storm chaser is mainly for scientific research. The basic gear for a strom chaser is a radar system and some other scientfic tools. They chase storms to get data about storms. Some chasers wait a long time to find a good storm and some wait miniutes. No sometimes they have days with no storms. i would love to be a strom chaser because i love to see lightneing it looks so cool
Rachael&Ethan;
Do you think it would be fun or exciting to be a storm chaser? If you were a storm chaser, what would be your reason for being a storm chaser?
i agree with you sydney kilgore i think it would be fun and exciting to be a storm chaser always chasing big storms.
Storm chasers observe Tornadoes.Their are good reasons for being a storm chaser, mostly for scientific research.Chasers do not always get to expirence a tornado, because the weather forecast is wrong or they timed things incorrect.
Storm Chasers observe and record tornados or hurricans. There are some really good reasons for chasing storms, mainly for scientific research. Storm chasers do not always get to expirence a tornado because sometimes the weather forecast is wrong or they do not time things correctly. Sometimes it takes weeeks befor they see a storm. It would be good to be a strorm chaser because you will help gain reserch and you could make being in a tornado more safe.
I agree with sydney it would be cool to be a storm chaser.But i would do it because it would be fun.I dont care ir its dangerous.
There are several good reasons why you may want to be a storm chaser, mostly scientific research. Although that is one main reason, some people make a living off of selling photographs or footage of a severe storm.
It will typicaklly take a 12 hour drive or so to reach av storm, there isn't always a 100% guarantee that a storm will be spotted. Discovering tornadoes isn't just amazing to see, but is also amazing to help scientists create better tornadoe warnings. Yhis sounds like an amazing job, but personally I'd be scarred out of my wits.
- Michael Van Schoik
I completely agree with you Sydney, it would be a very exciting job but it also would be hard and very dangerous. In my opionion I probabably would not want to become as storm chaser.
- Michael Van Schoik
One good reason is that scientist can collect data on tornados and many other scientific reserch on tornados. they wait 8-12 hours to get a storm. No
I agree with joey when he wass saying that you have to be really pationt when chaseing storms because not every storm is going to be where you are so when you are traveling you need to be calm and pationt.
Alex Richmond
I agree with Rachel that you would make a lot of money bu\y selling the video of tornadoes and hurricanes.
Storm Chasers observe tornadoes and hurricanes for scientific reasons. Sometimes, the predicitons of a tornado or a hurricane can be wrong. Why would you want to be a Storm Chaser? Well, it can be fun and exciting because of how close you can get to a tornado. And for another thing, it can get you as a Storm Chaser, some profit (money.). This happens by some Storm Chasers selling video clips and photographs of the violent storms.
And last but not least, Research!
The Storm Chasers mainly chase storms because they want to understand what causes a tornado or hurricane better.
To Brendan McWilliams:
I agree with how long they can wait. It can get pretty frustruating if you don't see a tornado or a hurricane in a specific amount of time.
They have to wait about well they just drive for several hours before they see the storm and normally they just drive right into the storm. No they don't always get to see the storm because they sometimes are to late and the tornado disolves or something happens to the storm.
Storm Chasers observe and record tornados and hurricanes.Storm chasers dont always get to see a tornado because sometimes all of the predictions are totally wrong. Some reasons why to be a storm chaser would to be to have fun. Another would be to research the things that you love. And the last thing is that by the videos that you make you can sell them for money.
Some good things about becoming a storm chaser are, some people make really good money off of just taking photographs of a storm.Also scientific reaserch can make a godd living. Mainly just becominga storm chaser can make some pretty good money. Storm chasers have to wait a long time, and dont even always get to see the storm because sometimes the srorm could be in an unxepected place or could be a alse alarm. Meening they wold get all of their equipment for nothing.
Why Chase Storms?- It is not a good idea to go chase storms just for fun bu if you are a storm chaser you can make some pretty good money.Also you can make some pretty close friends. When being together through tough time sometimes they get really close bonds through out one another.
Storm Chasers On The Hunt- Storm Chasers can spend 12 hours or more, yet still not see anything at all. When on the hunt they get phones, radios and computers to coontact other people or places.
The Basic Gear For A Storm Chaser- Some of their bare essentials are like a video camera, a digital camera, a laptop computer, radios and food and drinks.
Storm chasers don't always find tornados. Storm chasers follow tornados mostly but can follow hurricanes. There's a lot involved in finding tornados mainly time and location so they have to listen to weather forecast and other stuff.
I agree with Rachel that it would be a good . How much money though do you think that you would make.
Storm chasers record information of Tornados and or Hurricans. There are alot of good reasons to become a storm chaser,mostly for scientific research. So we can predict when a Tornado or Hurrican will strike before it happens so we can evacuate the citizens that live in that area. Not all storm chasers are able to see a storm because they have incorect information or they just werent at the corect area in time before the storm got away. I would not have the gut to become a storm chaser, I think that it would be to intense. I would rather just watch the news about the storm rather than out there trying to chase it.
Anthony, I think that a thing like storm chasing would look good on a job application.
I don't think that I would have what it takes to be a storm chaser. I'd be too scared and I don't really know anything about storms. Also, being in the car for 8-12 hours during the chase? Nooo thank you. And then there's the possibility that you won't see the storm. And also even if you had the right stuff to protect yourself with, you could still die or get seriously injured. I don't think stom chasing is for me, no metter how exciting it seems.
Storm chasers show us how violent certin storms can be such as tornado, hurricanes and earthquakes. science is also a good reson to be a storm chaser and you can make a profit from the pictures or vedio you make of the tornado. chaser don't always see a storm they could miss it or he storm will die before the get to it.storm chaser want to usally get there before the stormhis to get into position or get prepared for the storm.
Ryan Bussard
Some reasons to be a storm chaser are to retrive scientific informtion and to get videos and photographs. They are very expirenced so they know when they can be safe of it is vey dangerous. They know that every situation they enter is a dangerous situation and they are highly equipped and trained. Storm Chasers don't always get to see a storm because they might not time it right or they see the weather forecast wrong. They have special gear like a special car and a portable radar to track the storm. More frequent stuff include food and drinks, radios, cameras, laptops and video recorders. The wait for the storm depends on the type of storm. More reasons to chase storms include building relationships, having fun,and profit.
@ Charles Freudemann: Yeah I bet the storm chasers get a lot of money for doing their jobs because not a lot of people want to do it.
@ Hailey Hoover: I wouldn't be a sorm chaser either. But I do like thunder storms and stuff. But I would be scared to chase a storm.
I don't have what it takes it is risky and not safe. I would not know were to start. It takes about 8-12 hours. No not always.

to: Jenna Dubber
I agree with jenna because being a storm chaser isn't just about haveing scientific research it's it's also about haveing fun doing the stuff you like
Ryan Bussard
I agree with Yahanz to be a storm chaser you have to love storms and it takes along car ride to get to most storms and usually they don't even get to see it.
Storm Chasers observe and record tornados or hurricans. they chase storms mainly for scientific research. sometimes they dont get to expereience a tornado because the weather forcast is wrong or/and they do not time things right. fun excitment- You can have a lot of fun and excitment even though it is very dangerous. Sometimes guides even take people on tours.
Profit-some storm chasers earn some money from the photographs or video clips they capture on the job.
I agree with Drew You only have to chase durring storm weather.
By: Gillian Melugin
Storm chasers are scientists who have all this equiptment for studing tornados.Theyn go out to observe and capture all different types of tonados. Sometimes they get their footage, sometimes they are too late, and miss their chance. What they do is very much appriciated by civilians and other weather scientists that need that data to better understand the often occurance od tornados, and that they can alert people in the area what they need to go to get shleter before it is too late.Being a storm chaser could be very exciting, but also very risky for the people and equiptment that is put in harms way to get the reaserch. Some people even want to go on tours to really see the true beauty of a tornado, and what damage it can do to places that get too close. The bad part of being a storm chaser is that when there isn't a storm in radar, they all just have to sit and wait for the next one they collect on their equiptment. They love when a storms in their radar, and unlike us, they hate when there is a warm summer day with a bright blue sky...There are alot of ups and downs to being a Storm Chaser!!!
The post between Joey Fairbanks and Kyle Gorman is Dylan Humbert
-Dylan Humbert
I agree with you Rachel Royer storm chasers can sell their images of storms for money
-Dylan Humbert
@ emma cliffe
I agree with you, most people dont have what it takes to be a storm chaser. Staying put in a pick up truck for long hours of the day could really be tiring. I dont think being smushed in a car with 4 or more people plus all this scientific equiptment sounds very.........interesting until you see a tornado...then I dont think all that stuff really matters
You are able to learn more about the storms and use that data to prepare for future storms. It would be frustrating at times because you might not even see a storm after 8-12 hours of driving.
a good reason for storm chasing is scientific research.the basic gear for a storm chaser is radios phones and computers. for data. days or weeks. no they don't.
@ Jenna dueber
you are right. it is true that if the weather forecast is wrong, they would have lots of problems.
A good reason for storm chasing is scientific research.The basic gear for a storm chaser is radios phones and computers. For data. Days or Weeks. No they don't.
People become storm chasers for scientific research and photographs or footage of storms. Not always do they get to see a storm. Some times they may drive 8 to 12 hours without seeing one tornado. I think this would be a very fun job to have, that may at times not be exiting but always interesting.
-Kaleigh McCarthy
Storm chasers record their data that they collected. Storm chasers usually ride for 8-12 hours to follow or find tornadoes. They don't always get to expirence storms that they ould like to or even sometimes they don't get to experience an for a while.
There are some really good reasons for chasing storms mainly, scientific research, though a few people make a living selling photographs or footage of storms.
they chase tornados.storm chasers are scientist who study weather but beeing a storm chaser could be exciting if you take proper percausions.
storm chasers are scientists who study the weather like tornados and hurricanes stuff like that.but they have good reasons for chasing storms but it is mainly for scientific reasearch.they sometimes dont get to experience tornados because sometimes the weather forcasts arent correct.if you wanted to be a storm chaser it is very exiting and fun and you defitnintly would get idrenilen rush
nathan stenger
i agree with nathen that you do need to take percaustions
To: Carlie Keene:
I think it would be a very exciting job to have even though it is dangerous. I would take the risk because it seems like a job that would always keep me on my toes. What do you thimk? Would you ever think about being a storm chaser?
-Kaleigh McCarthy
Storm Chasers track and follow storms. they can give warnings to people who may be affected by the storm. Sometimes they wait for hours. They dont always see storms.
Gear
Video camera - Crews are equipped with the latest HD cameras (or often with multiple cameras.
Digital camera - A picture can capture details of a storm that videos can miss.
Laptop computer - With a cell phone, a laptop can maintain a continuous Internet connection. Allowing them to get new weather information.
Radios - If the storm chasers are riding in multiple vehicles, they can use walkie-talkies to stay in contact. They can also get weather information.
I agree with with sawyer he has the same basic gear that i put.
A good reason to become a storm chaser is that you can collect a lot of scientific data. It depends on the weather how long you would have to wait to see a storm. They don't always get to see a storm.
I agree with sydney the main reason they do it is for research
@ Dylan Buis, what do you mean by "No they don't."?
Some reasons that people chase storms is for scientific research,fun and excitment, and profit ( people make money off af pics and footage of tornades.)
The basic gear of storm chaser is imax camrea, digital camrea, laptop, doppler on wheels, the armored car (TIV2), radios, food, and water.
Storm chasers dont always get to see the stoms because the radar is wrong or they dont time things right. They have to wait around 8-12 hours to maybe see a storm.
Storm chasers chase and study hurricanes and tornadoes. A lot of the time they never get to see storms but when they do, they put their lives at risk for reasearch and entertainment. They drive along the storms to get video for their reasearch but there is a lot of thinks that could happen to them. They could get rained on or hailed on or even get sucked up into the tornado.
Some people become storm chasers for the fun, research or to get money by selling photos or video of the tornado. Its very dangerous and if your not careful, you could die.
@Sara Dirr
If you could be a storm chaser, would you be one? If you would be one would you put your live at risk for research or selling photos? Do you think if someone got stuck in a tornado, that they could get out alive?
Scientific information and photography. More than twelve hours. No they do not always get to see a storm.
Storm chasers chase tornados and go where there is a good place for a tornado to approch. this would not be a good job for me because they scare me.
kristan dalton
@ Aaron Bettner
I agree with all the gear but you are missing to big things. The armored car TIV2 and the doppler radar on wheels.
kilgore, sydney
you are right because they are for mainly for scienctific research on weather.
kristanm dalton
I agree with sydney kilgore that if the weather forecast is wrong the timing can be way off and screw the whole mission up.
Andrew Hudson
Some good reason to observe tornadoes is to see maybe how much damage they can do in a minimum of time. Or maybe if you live somewhere in another state where they don't have tornadoes you may want to seee what they look like. storm chasers have to wait about 12hr. till a tornado comes. Thety have to get prepared and everything they have to confident and ready to face there hardest challenge tornadoes. Some days there might be a tornado somae days may not be one. but they still have to do work on the last tornado
@ ciarra. they look at there doppler or there radar.
Storm chasers record tornados and hurricans. They usually do it for Scientific Research. They don't always get to see a storm, sometimes they miss them. Even though it's very dangerous to be a Storm Chaser. it's also very exciting. You can earn money from it too by getting research and weather data from tornados.
kelly- I thought they spent more hours on getting ready and everything. but I don't think Im ready to face a tornado. it sounds a little scary. I also agree with you that they are pros. they spend months training and being prepared. and they do risk there lives all on science
Some reasons to be a storm chaser are to gather imformation about storms like tornados and hurricanaes. Other imformation like how fast the wind speed is and what damage it can do are recorded on weather instruments. Storm chasers can be driveing around for 12 hours and still not see a tornado or ever a slite storm. Storm chasers do not allways get to see a storm, but sometimes they see a storm forming then it just vanishes and nothing happend not even a funnel or anything. It mite be frustrating but it's life.
I agree with Sydney storm chasing can be exciting and dangerous at the same time, but It's not all danger and fun they some series equipment to measure the wind speed and all the other things that are important to studdy.

They observe, report,and record storms. Mainly they do this for scientific resach, others do it for their love for storms. Not always do they get to see a tornado or other storm, some wait months for the perfect storm. The basics would be a video recording camera or a high speed camera, scientific equiptment to record measures such as a spedometer. Why be a storm chaser? It is very exciting, you can earn money, can help other people evacuate just in time for a tornado to hit, benefits scientific research, and you can earn some cash along the way.
Storm Chasers observe tornados and hurricanes. One good reason to chase these deadly storms are for scientific research. But the storm chasers do not always get to expirence tornados because sometimes the storm cant produce a tornado or chase the wrong storm.
