Why Chase ?

Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky
        with one hand waving free
Silhouetted by debris

--- dylan

Ten reasons:

Forecasting and intercepting storms in real time is a tremendous challenge. Juxtaposing your location with the atmosphere at the correct instant of
time is immensely satisfying.

The sky.

Vortexes rule.

You might run into Helen Hunt.

The intoxicating effect of low pressure.

The sweet smell of ionized air.

Lightning.

Thunder.

Tornadoes.

Avoid the frustration of heat & humidity building all day only to have the storm blow over. If the storm won't come to you, you chase the storm.
