[Skywarn] Amateur Storm Chasers Cause Congestion in Severe Weather [feedly]

[George Streeter]

I'm betting the very TV shows that are bringing so many people to the 
skywarn training classes (we set a record this year in our skywarn 
class) are the same TV shows that are encouraging people to attempt to 
storm chase.

So what is the answer?  Teach people how to chase more safely and 
encourage the behaviour and cause traffic jams or have people think that 
they can do anything because they saw it once on TV? The mentality is 
amazing to me.  I see the same thing in the survival community.  We have 
people who think because they watched Man vs Wild that they could 
survive in the wilderness.  Most have never even spent a single night in 
the woods let alone a night without any supplies or food.  TV makes 
things look easy that are very difficult and for some reason people 
don't seem to understand that.
