It is a blast. We really have alot of fun with it. We get together for 2 weeks on the central plains and chase as a complete team every year. Though this year during a tornado, we took $10,000 damage to one of our vehicles from baseball sized hail that got caught in the storm's inflow and came in sideways. We lost 4 windows and every panel on the truck had fist sized dents. We covered the windows, repaired our antenneas, and caught 3 more tornados the next day. We were out for 2 weeks, saw 7 tornados, drove over 7,000 miles, got interviewed by the press twice, and covered everywhere from South Dakota down into Texas and zig zaged back and forth everywhere in between as the weather flows dictated.
