My wife thinks I'm nuts but I would effing love to do that.....I love storms and would love to chase down and witness a tornado.....Probably soil my knickers in the process...but would still love to do it.

Same here.

One of the problems apparently is that a lot of people are chasing these days and gridlocking roads around where the tornadoes show up

I was in Indiana once when an F3 tornado came through. The sheer power was amazing and the noise was deafening. Having never seen one that close, me and my co-worker were outside watching it and everyone at the factory we were doing the work at was yelling at us to get inside to the safe room.
