7. Nonsense.

Whether they're storm chasers whose job it is to provide valuable on-the-ground info to county and local officials, or just hobbyists, it's not anyone else's business. This is such a non-issue. If someone wants to be in harm's way, whether in front of a storm or climbing a treacherous mountain, it's nobody else's business.
