     When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety. But
there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These
people are willing to risk(冒……危险) being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the
excitement of watching the storm close up.
     "Storm  chasing (追逐 )"  is  becoming  an increasingly popular hobby (喜好) , especially in the
Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser
begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1 000
kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.
   Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw
a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents
caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm- chasing
vacations during the storm season.
     Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. "Storm chasing is 95% driving, " says
Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm- chasing. "sSometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers. "
However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. "When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight
you will ever see in your life, " says Jasper Morley. "Every storm is an example of the power of nature. It
is the greatest show on Earth. "
