Another chaser disease identified

[Lisa Wadlow]

I have identified another chaser disease. In addition to SDS (Supercell Deprivation Syndrome) and PTSD (Post-Tornadic Stress Disorder) there’s also TB…Tornado Brain. The formation is similar to storm formation. Often cells will start out as sharp, distinct cells and then over time evolve into a mushy squall line. With TB, the chaser brain starts out alert and sharp, much like discrete cells. Over time it evolves into a mushy, zombie-like, twilight zone brain that is good for nothing and is mostly brought on due to high amounts of caffeine, severe lack of sleep, and extended periods of adrenaline flooding the bloodstream over the course of a few days of back-to-back chasing, I believe the suffering of this disease to be worse than SDS and PTSD but well worth the privileged of hanging out with tornadic storms.

That's actually pretty good. Currently being a sufferer of your newest disease discovery after this past weekend, I appreciate your taking the time to identify it to the masses so I can stop worry about what's wrong with me!

Only one thing - it's perfectly possible to suffer from TB without having hung out with tornadic supercells all day long. I can attest to that. Or - would this be yet another new condition? 'Cause that's actually more akin to what I've got right now....

Yes - there is a subset to this disease by chasers who have sat in front of their computers all day with 12 simultaneous browser windows open watching an outbreak happen. Unable to break away from the constant mesmerizing imagery of hook echos, velocity couplets, live storm reports and warning texts, this disease will often affect the chaser's motivation of chasing the same system when it affects him/her the next day :lol:

Umm, yeah sorry about your condition but it really benefited me yesterday. Thanks for your nowcasting.

I think we need to start a chaser encyclopedia

Ha! This was me yesterday (3/12). Fourteen hours of straight nowcasting really hurts the brain.
