I am sure each of you have had this problem at some point, but how do you respond to people who ask you why you chase? There are some people that you just can't explain it to, because no matter what, they will not understand. Unfortunately, a number of them assume that I am a thrill seeker and that I am wishing for something to happen that can kill people and destroy their property. The fact is, tornadoes are going to happen. There is nothing that we can do to stop them...absolutely nothing, so where is the harm in wanting to see one? Each of us have our reasons. Some do enjoy the thrill of experiencing one of the greatest forces of nature, some of us do it to further the science community's understanding of storms, some of us are confronting fears, some of us do it simply as a hobby. So, why do each of you chase? What is it about storm chasing that makes you tick?
