For me, chasing was a evolution from my interests in tornadoes after I was in one in back in 1990.
I almost got killed by it because it had only been a minute or two since I walked home from the school bus stop. I commonly took a short cut through the woods and I would not have seen the tornado coming, not to mention the trees were completely torn up by the 'nado. I got on the news with my friend because our two-story tree house got torn down as well.
Anyway, I was wondering how many other's have been in a tornado, either chasing or not (hopefully not while chasing). I'll bet many early experiences prompted interest in severe weather for many of us.
