Default Storm Chasers or Extreme Weather Nuts?

Are there any storm chasers or extreme weather fanatics out there?

I appreciate the job they do, but I've been close enough to "extreme weather" twice in my life.

Filled my weather adventure quota.

This time of year around here we get to watch weather chasers almost every night.

Several years ago, I thought seriously about doing one of those storm chasing tours in May or June. I'd still like to do it sometime, but the drawback is, no matter what tourgroup you sign up with, there's no guarantee you'll ever actually end up seeing a tornado. So, videos like the ones at that sight are really cool.

I'm a little curious why the administrator at ExtremeWeatherNet hasn't mentioned anything in his profile about Corvettes being one of his hobbies.
