Good evening!
I would hereby like to come out with an idea I have been thinking about - ganging up and organising an one day event called, let's say, National Storm Chasing Awareness Day. NSCAD would be used to get the word out to the public, who are the storm chasers, what they do, what are the chasing ethics etc. And of course, this is a place to clearly make a distinction between good chasers and yahoos. In addition, this event could be used to educate people more on severe weather.
It appears to me, that among the public, there are still cases where people are unaware of the storm chasing. In addition, some parts of the public may regard storm chasers as some sort of crazy thrillseekers from Twister. I think that with a public campaign, it might be possible to spread the word and change mentalities, even if a bit.
Unfortunately, owing to living at the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, I can't help you much. However, I wanted to share this idea with you. Maybe with some sort of a campaign explaining storm chasing, it might be possible to cure some black eyes.
Of course, this is just an idea.
