My hobby is storm chasing. I am an Amature Radio Operator, so when I'm chasing we are in communication with the National Weather Service. I've given many reports and had warnings issued based on my reports. :) I've included some links to some pictures and a video of my chasing adventures. Feel free to ask any questions you might have :)

73,
I also enjoy ham radio, though Mostly off air things like homebrewing and some repeater building. Ill occasionally bring a rig along on a camping trip. Nothing as exciting as chasing a storm though.

I have never chased storms before, but have always wanted to. I am mesmerized by tornadoes and severe storms. I always have been.
By the way, I too am an amateur radio operator. That's my main hobby. I've been licensed for 20 years, had ups and downs in radio, but I've loved radio ever since I could remember and wouldn't give up my license for the world.

I live in delaware...no need to chase the storms...any storm worth chasing will sit around and drown you. :P
Its really cool that you are a storm ->-bleeped-<-. I have never met one before.
