These fellows seem to have had at least a claim to scientific value in what they did, though the ones I have met are mainly thrill seekers. But even the thrill seekers really risk no one but themselves.
Unlike many of the so-called storm chasers, these 3 men actually chased storms for scientific reasons. To gather information on tornadoes in the hope of understanding them better, designing better shelters and saving lives.
They will be missed.
I would say Samaras did quite a lot for study of tornadoes, placing all kinds of new equipment where no one dared before him.
Yes indeed.
