These guys are idiots. As a chaser of 3 years, a relative newbie, I can point out several things these guys are doing wrong, which could easily cost them their lives. Plus, they made no mention of what a real chaser's true goal is. We're not out there risking our lives just to stare at these storms, like these idiots. Our real goal is to track and report these storms to the NWS so that they can have a more complete picture than what their equipment can detect. We do this usually via ham radio, some times by phone. Thanks to REAL and PROPERLY TRAINED spotters and chasers and in conjunction with the NWS and their tools, storm related fatalities are estimated to have been decreased by over %70 since the SkyWarn program began. This is nothing but sensationalistic bull. If you want to see what REAL storm spotting and chasing is like, seek out your local amateur radio club and ask if someone will take you along as a rider for a chase. Just don't be surprised if they say no, and remember that if you do go, your safety is in your own hands; so DON'T BE STUPID LIKE THESE IDIOTS and even more importantly, LISTEN TO YOUR GUIDE!

This episode follows a group of storm chasers who not only follow tornados, but go into swamps, and follow hail storms. They push their limits to the end and risk their lives in the name of storms, when storm chaser Mike spots a super cell tornado brewing in the western part of America. They must choose whether or not to chase the storm.

Brought back alot of memories of being in big rig,a incrdeible experience,tornados jumping over the rig front to rear and side to side with nowhere but forward to go and one horrendous time on motorcycle outside of Fremont when a tornado literally demolished a neighjborhood directly in fron of me and the time a hailstone the size of a grapefruit hit my helmet and fell into my lap,but,I love my motorcycles.

Permalink The most entertaining part was when he thought he could rough it down that muddy road, lmao what an idiot! I doubt even a 4x4 would have made it… Hell the freakin tractor got stuck haha… Don't get me wrong though, Jim is a hell of a storm chaser and i have enjoyed watching his footage :)

Huge Hail check. High Winds check. Blinding Rain check. Lightning check. Tornado umm nope. Didn't seem anymore dangerous than driving on the Interstate bumper to bumper at over 70 mph, and even I've done that.
