Criei este tópico para ir colocando algumas fotos e link's para reportagens de storm chasers nos EUA.
E começo com umas imagens e uns comentários que o Mike Hollingshead do Extreme Instability colocou no site dele.
Entre chasers, curiosos, agências de storm tours, meteorologistas, polícia, equipas de socorro, equipas de televisão e equipas a fazer documentários, por vezes as estradas tornam-se num pandemónio de gente a seguir uma célula.

I'll just say this image doesn't even scratch the surface on the numbers chasing the storm. Hell half the above is just the Doppler on Wheels crew and Discovery Crew with them. It took a little waiting before I could drive back to the interstate(they're parked on/near the off ramp). Just cars and cars of chasers going north. This of course continues behind me at this time. Lots of others parked around behind me. I still haven't determined what the dude is doing bottom left. It's just a little nuts anymore, the numbers that are chasing. Consider there are numerous tour groups now, each having at least 2 vans. Then you have all the college teams, often using a couple vans. Other college teams using several cars. You have film crews going with different chasers for different shows. You have local cops and local spotters, and emergency people watching. Some tv station chasers. And the big majority like me, just chasers. Everyone is on their chase vacations this time of year, with lots making the trip from other countries. The roads around here weren't wonderful either, so everyone often winds up on the same ones. If I'm watching a good storm, I really don't notice it too much. If things aren't going well yet, it gets on my nerves, lol. Earlier on though, simply turning the car around seemed impossible. Some think it's great to park at the stop sign in intersections. So you have all 4 directions with parked cars, and all 4 directions with travelling cars...it can easily turn into a traffic jam.
