So you want to become a storm chaser? Did you watch the movie Twister and think that looked like fun? How do you get started? First lets point out that storm chasing is dangerous. Trying to get close to severe storms or extreme weather is full of risks. Dangerous lightning, strong winds, blowing debris are just some of the dangers. You also need an in depth knowledge of the weather systems that lead to severe storms. You can't just watch a weather report on the TV and then hope to go out and intercept a Tornado or Hurricane. Tornadoes can be very short lived so you need to be in exactly the right place at exactly the right time.
