Is this ignorant or just plain stupid?
The hunters become the hunted
This is certainly 100% foolish! You are meteorologists and you don't even know how to safely chase storms. I see the storm chased you and got you too. You know why? Because you are lifted up with pride and arrogance and now you got your asses kicked a little. Hopefully no one got seriously injured. Oh now did your life pass in front of you?
Whereas ye know not what [shall be] on the morrow. For what [is] your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
---JAMES 4.14
The only excuse would be if you got stuck in mud or in a traffic jam in a populated area. Other than that you demonstrated poor judgement and complete disregard for safety. And you make storm chasing, tracking, and spotting look like a load of careless fools.
And now I'm hearing stories that these armored tornado vehicles are causing traffic jams and even blocking roads for others while traveling. There have even been reports that they have assaulted other vehicles. Imagine being assaulted by a vehicle?
i remember selling some video to The Weather Channel and being told to get closer next time. Well that's not going to happen with this storm tracker because I'm not a fool. I'll keep a safe distance and let your team perform these type of demonstrations. Well now you got close enough. Enjoy!

What I don't like about this is these clowns tend to make the rest of us storm trackers and chasers look like them.
