Storm chasers have helped to identify features within a storm that are signs of a possible or imminent tornado including the "hook echo" signature sometimes seen on a radar image, and the rear-flank downdraft which often occurs just a few minutes before a tornado forms.
Storm chasers can also relay information about a tornado to warning centers and broadcasters who can then warn people in the tornado's path.
You can, but it is difficult. For the vast majority of storm chasers it is a hobby. Only a few storm chasers are actually professional chasers.
Omaha Storm Chasers was created in 1969.
Storm chasers are important because we need them to document storms on their intensity, location, date, where they rank in history, and to give local meteorologists info on the storms so they can warn people of any danger.
The duration of Storm Chasers - TV series - is 2700.0 seconds.
Storm Chasers - TV series - was created on 2007-10-17.
After storm chasers locate the tornado, they call 911 to alert the local authorities about the tonado.
Storm chasers generally don't try to avoid each other and refrain from fighting. When possible they actually try to work together.
