Hello to all, I have been fascinated by storm chasing since seeing the
Discovery show in 2008, and since then have remained a bit of a silent
observer, watching chasing and trying to learn more about storm
chasing and tornado research. A lot has transpired, but recently my
interest in chasing has spiked. I want to carry out the smoke
experiment that was started by TWISTEX but never carried out
successfully (at least to my knowledge). I am a high school student,
and recently I did a project on tornado research and the value of
chasing to tornado research. In doing so I also fully admitted my
interest and fascination with chasing and severe weather. The response
I have gotten since has shocked me. People openly mock me for this
fascination, a fact which has stunned me. With the school year coming
to a close, I put together this letter. It is not an attack on
non-chasers, it is a plea to those who disrespect chasing and chasers
to take chasing seriously and leave them alone. I have posted it here
so that anyone who has found themselves in a similar position might
have an effective rebuttal.
