When the rainstorm is coming, most people choose to leave as quickly as possible and go to a safe place. However, there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight to the centre of the storm. "Storm chasing" is becoming a popular hobby in the Midwest of the United States. There are frequent storms from March to July. Storm chasers often drive more than one thousand kilometres to where the storm will be. And then they wait for the storm to come.
Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is not safe. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air. Storm chasers often drive in a heavy rain. So they are also often hurt seriously in accidents. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group of storm-chasing vacations during the storm season.
"Sometimes it can take you hours to wait for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a little rain," says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm chasing. However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. "When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting thing 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 the earth."

当暴风雨来临时,大多数人选择尽快离开,前往一个安全的地方。然而,有一些人会坐进他们的车里,径直前往暴风雨的中心。“追逐暴风雨”在美国中西部正成为一种流行的爱好。从三月到七月,暴风雨频繁发生。追逐暴风雨的人常常驱车一千多公里前往暴风雨即将来临的地方,然后他们等待暴风雨的到来。
虽然任何人都可以这么做,但追逐暴风雨并不安全。一场大暴风雨的力量可以把一头牛抛到空中。追逐暴风雨的人经常在大雨中开车,所以他们也经常在事故中受重伤。如果你是一个初学者,在暴风雨季节参加一个追逐暴风雨的度假团会安全得多。
“有时候你可能要等几个小时才会有事情发生,而你得到的只是蓝天和一点雨,”丹尼尔·林奇说,他夏天的大部分时间都在追逐暴风雨。然而,对于追逐暴风雨的人来说,这一切都是值得的。“当你靠近一场暴风雨时,那将是你一生中见过的最令人兴奋的事情,”贾斯珀·莫利说,“每一场暴风雨都是大自然力量的体现,这是地球上最伟大的表演。”
