The original reason I got into photography many years ago was because I was on the beach at Englewood and saw a couple of water spouts WAY off on the horizon and wished I had the capability to get them on film. So I bought the equipment to do it. And since that time I have only seen ONE waterspout, again at Englewood and was able to get a couple of pics of it. Didn't reach the water, but what the heck.
Now that I have a camcorder, I would LOVE to get some footage of a tornado that way. But no, I'm not about to become one of those tornado chasers you see on the weather channel. I don't know why they fascinate me, but they certainly do. Wouldn't want one in my living room, but I would like to see one close enough to get some good shots of it.
I was just under the impression that with insurance, you aren't going to get anything better then blue book value on a totalled automobile, so I just never thought about anything else being an option.
