But I sometimes get more e-mail than I can answer in a reasonable time. I have received a lot of e-mail from folks wanting answers to the same basic questions about tornadoes, storm chasing, or photography.
Many messages come from students doing school assignments on a deadline.
While I appreciate all the good words and interest, my busy work and family life means I often do not have time to answer each e-mail promptly or in good detail. I work rotating shifts and have a different work and sleep schedule each week. And if I am on vacation, I'm away from e-mail for longer. So rather than force you to depend on my strange schedule or blow off such messages, I want to direct you to places where I, or someone else, has already answered many such questions. If you want to know about storm chasing, the best place to go is the Online Storm Chasing FAQ , which I co-author with Tim Vasquez.
