Do these guys actually gather any data or just run around getting their adrenaline fix in and taking cool videos for YouTube?
Legitimate, trained storm chasers (which these guys were) serve an extremely important purpose. They help to verify ground truth as to whether a tornado is actually on the ground. Studies have shown that if the public hears confirmation of a tornado or sees live video of it, they are more likely to react and take precautionary measures.
In a lot of cases, storm chases are unsung heros.
