What is storm chasing?

Storm chasing is the pursuit and observation of severe weather phenomena, such as thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes, typically for purposes like scientific research, photography, or personal interest. Storm chasers use weather data, radar, and forecasting tools to locate and safely follow storms, often documenting their findings. While it can be thrilling and valuable for meteorological research, storm chasing also involves significant risks and requires careful preparation and safety measures.
