Regulating storm chasers is like regulating bird watching, sure....the bird watching isn't as dangerous but no government should be telling people how to behave to that degree, when it comes to the natural world around them. Look inward. We, the viewing public, for lack of a better term, are to blame for everything like this. There would be no motivation to storm chase if there were no money/fame/clout/etc to be chased. It's our fault is what I'm saying.

Ponca City should be in a safe place now. This looks like a very dangerous storm.

It might sort itself out. I have storm chaser fatigue. I can only watch so many tornadoes that they start to run together. It better be some terrifying shite to get me to click.

I think storm chasers certainly serve a purpose, though there are many chasers who are motivated by the things you mentioned. Chasers who are trained and behave responsibly often provide the ground truth needed to get people to actually act when a tornadic storm is coming. Studies have shown that when people have confirmation that there is a tornado on the ground, especially if there is live video of it, they will actually take action to protect themselves. In that sense, trained storm chasers are very useful.
