Do these guys actually gather any data or just run around getting their adrenaline fix in and taking cool videos for YouTube?

A few hours west of us.
Has been an interesting afternoon and the lead line is still 45 minutes west, southwest of us. Lead line barely moving, storms running more northerly

They were chasers from The Weather Channel and were well known. They reported on storms to TWC to help warn people.
