JOINING the HUNT

CHASE WARNING!

Storm Chasing is inherently dangerous! If you DO NOT KNOW what you are doing you can be seriously hurt or (in a worst case scenario) killed. And the danger is NOT limited to tornadoes. Micro bursts, lightening, strong outflow/inflow winds, hail, flash flooding, slick highways and Twister intoxicated morons are just a few of the potentially deadly hazards involved in this activity.

BEFORE YOU HUNT explore these websites and contact your local National Weather Service for information on spotter training. Spotters and chasers are two different things, but spotter training is invaluable when on the prowl for these powerful storms.

ABOVE ALL don't be stupid! If the situation seems dangerous, or you are in doubt about safety, GET OUT! It is better to live to hunt again, rather than take permanent shelter six feet under.
