Model Performance and Enjoyment of Chasing

[Michael Snyder]

My fear in that scenario would be that the authorities would fence everybody out and we wouldn't get anywhere near the tornado: an "Exclusion Zone," as Stephen Henry theorizes in his post in the related thread Mike Marz references above.

Now that, would be a feat of engineering.

Maybe a couple miles of yellow caution tape and some barriers?

Although I enjoy forecasting, it is still a means to an end and that is intercepting tornadoes and supercells. A more accurate forecasting method or model would increase my enjoyment. Even with 100% accuracy in forecasting tornadic storms, there will always be challenges in getting the absolute best video or images. Think of a well-known landmark, lets say the Washington Monument, Eiffel Tower or Mount Rushmore. A more accurate analogy might be zebras on safari in Kenya. An image of the targets as described previously would be guaranteed to anyone who goes looking but there will always be ways to get a better photograph or video.
