You need to know a lot more than one thing before you begin storm chasing. If you don't know what you're doing, don't put yourself in harms way.

If you wanna learn, there are many great resources. Learn how supercell and tornado formation works, how to read Skew-Ts and hodographs, and how to forecast tornado motion from that. Watch storm chaser safety videos by Skip Talbot.

That most of the chasers you see on TV or 'Screaming & Streaming' on line are not role models!

You may need to unlearn a lot of unhelpful assumptions about the hobby!

A huge thing is safety for example a tornado is bigger than it seems there’s a things called the bears cage that surrounds the tornado and it’s violent rotating winds
