OKC Channel 4 "chasers" speeding into the median and kicking gravel into my windsheild in Panhandle, TX May 29th, 2001 (1.1Mb mpeg)
Vehicle mounted weather stations - how many of these people are taking data and performing research in their basements? How many people put these things on their cars to make themselves look cool?
Too many cars with too much gear.
What is even worse is when people put "STORM CHASER" stickers on their vehicle. What logical purpose does this serve other than a badge? As Gene Moore put it "It seems that for many chasers these days, it's not about the clouds, it's about themselves".
Also there are few people who have mobile-Mesonet type weather station in the back of their trucks! Too bad your pressure and wind measurements will be completely wrong due to the wind field disturbance caused by the vehicle. Pressure ports should be about 2 meters off the ground, out of the vehicle slipstream.
Concern that those who are new to chasing will look at the gear heads and amber lights and think that's the way to go. Not a good example.
Yellow-Box Chasing: when the SPC starts drawing those little yellow polygons people seem to flock.
Chuck Doswell has some good observations in his "Ups & Downs" section. (Down at the bottom).
