Chasers seem to be better trained than the average spotter. I suppose it goes with the territory.
Me? I'll remain a spotter and report winds over 50, hail over 1/4 inch, or rain over 2 inches an hour, or whatever net control wants, snug and safe. Chasers are a special breed. I ain't one.

I worked one season for Severe Storm Laboratories just east of El Reno, in Piedmont, OK. One close call with a tornado was enough for me. First the missiles are flying; rocks, wood, garbage....then the wind stopped suddenly. Huh? And then it starts raining doors, rocks, fencing, dirt...once is enough.
