Video: Severe Storm Hits My Neighborhood/House!

[DoctorZ]

Since we were under an Enhanced Risk of severe weather last Saturday, I went out Storm Chasing/Spotting. I ended up chasing the storm right back into my own back yard! Shot some good video though:

Looks like you were lucky! Be careful. A lot of people are getting killed chasing storms. Not worth it.

IIRC, only four people in the past sixty years of storm chasing have been killed while chasing. Four is not considered 'a lot'.

They're probably looking at the people that are actually "storm chasing" from a vehicle, for the purpose of doing so. I'm referring more the all the people just go outside, to shoot videos, or take pictures. I'm not sure how you would actually gather statistics on that.

Ah yes, the local yahoos, the uneducated that clog the roads and drive crazy.

I'm more worried about getting killed in my yard cutting down broken trees. I've had a couple fall while I'm cleaning up already this year! Another tree was cracking in the breeze for several days before I was able to get it cut down. It was close enough to hit the house!

It's best if you wish to chase to shoot video or take pictures of storms to have a designated driver who isn't all that interested in storms driving. That way you are free to shoot your footage while they concentrate on the safe driving. Not at all that different from going out drinking at a party with a "designated driver" ya know.
