I watched the segment on Getaway and I think it was portrayed by a stupid reporter and who has little understanding of what the scientists do and what they have achieved. What an insult to storm chasing and storm chasers. One would have thought we are a bunch of yahoos!

The good thing though was it was Cloud Nine Tours who are good mates we met whilst over there.

Storm chasing is dangerous. Do not storm chase unless you have consulted or chased with others who have proven extensive chase experience.
