	Storm chasing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Storm chasing is broadly defined as the intentional pursuit of a thunderstorm, regardless of motive.
		Storm chasers are not paid to chase, with the exception of television media crews in certain television markets, video stringers and photographers, and a handful of graduate meteorologists and professors.

		Most storms targeted by chasers are LP (low precipitation) or CL (classic) supercells, where the main updraft regions are well-defined, and the development of wall clouds and rapid rotation indicate the presence of a mesocyclone.
