I would just like to take this opportunity to note that there are three classes of storm chasers.
Class #1: Scientific researchers hoping to gain valuable information in dangerous situations to better understand and predict these extreme weather situations, in service to the public good. Expert scientific researchers. Tim and his team were of this class. As, I believe, were all involved in Storm Chasers.
Class #2: Newscasters/broadcasters (including scientists and meteorologists) whose purpose is to provide as accurate as possible immediate information to the public at large about dangerous situations. Immediate public service providers. Good for them.
Class #3: Amatuer thrill-seakers hoping to capture some awesome video of no scientific or public service value but which they can profit from by selling drama to news services. News services should stop providing these morons with after the fact income.
