Rules of Engagement
Do
- Learn
before you chase "get educated"
just because you have seen a movie 10 times doesn't mean you are now ready to chase
tornadoes. Read college level meteorology books and learn everything you can about severe
weather predicting. Ignorance can be fatal.
- Ride with an experienced chaser to learn before going it
alone
- Take your time - you can't learn it all the first year
- Evaluate the situation - How much danger am I in?
- Notify proper authority - Care about those
who are hurt in a tornado, call for help when people are injured
Don't
- DO NOT!!!!! GET IN THE WAY OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OR EMERGENCY
VEHICLES
- Do not follow other chasers without permission
- Don't Speed! - Safety First
- Don't litter
- Don't drive on private property; you can do thousands of
dollars damage to fields.
Warning: Storm chasing exposes
one to many weather hazards, such as lightning, dangerous roads, damaging winds, hail, and
flying debris which puts the chaser's/spotters life at risk, particularly those who have
little or no experience and/or storm structure education, and should only be done by
trained persons. You can be killed by participating in this kind of activity, so
don't think it is all fun and games; it can be fatal if you make a mistake. The author(s)
