To help introduce the newest generations of chasers to the early history of the activity, I thought some trivia questions might be good avenues. Any others to add?
"Chaser" in this context is defined with the classical definition: a person who serially and intentionally forecasts and travels to convective or tropical severe weather events (lightning, supercells, tornadoes, hurricanes). In other words, not a "local" or an "opportunist".
* Asterisk denotes items I'm not 100% sure of the answer (paging Blake Naftel or other chasing historians!)
Which chasers are/have been in the Guinness Book of World Records for most tornadoes seen?
Which chasers appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien?
Which chasers were the first to:
- Capture a tornado on a tape camcorder*
- Capture a tornado on 35mm movie film
- Capture video of an anticyclonic tornado
- Build a camera probe and successfully get it hit by a tornado
Which chasers were consultants for original (1996) Twister film?
When was the first Stormtrack magazine published?
Who were the chasers in the original NOVA tornado special?
Name three well-known chaser vehicles from the 1980s/1990s.
Where did the "steak dinner after a tornado day" tradition originate?*
