My 13yo recently got into storm chasing video games. We live in the PNW, but I grew up near the south end of tornado alley, am a long-time amateur radio operator, and had some basic familiarity with SKYWARN. So hey! Bonding opportunity, right? ...

He's been asking me to take him storm chasing, but I figured I'd start doing a little research before I even consider the idea, so I downloaded the first season of Storm Chasers and watched a few YouTube videos, and I have to say, this is...different than I remember...

Granted it's been a few decades since I listened to a SKYWARN net, and my only times encountering a tornado have all been by accident, but this all seems a lot more dramatic and over-the-top than I remember. Is there like a "quiet professional" storm chaser group someone can hook me up with?
