A Nebraska senator has passed a bill to only allow Emergency management officals to storm chase in the state. I will post the article when I can find it.

Brett, it must be a roumor, because I have not heard anything along those lines. Plus, our legislature wrapped up for the year about 2 weeks ago.

Nope...saw the article. It has been a bit to be honest....I will have to find it. It shocked me and I still don't really believe that they would consider this.

I looked on my state's legislature website, and did a search through all the bills that were brought up, I found nothing dealing with storm chasing.

In addition, I did a search on my newspaper's website. [url]Omaha.com[/url]

However, I have seen on Chuck Doswell's website (where he explains rules and ettiquette) that it may get to a point to where some governmental control might be necessary.`

Let me check.....I know I have some kind of article about that somewhere. You are probably right though since you live there.

Of course, Mother Nature might be banning storm chasing in Nebraska and then some. :lol:

OK, whoever is banning storm chasing (if it was banned) needs to be taken to the funny farm!

It would not happen. Even if such a law was passed, it would be very difficult to enforce.

"Oh, no, officer, I am just coming home from school and this big supercell thunderstorm popped up." Again, I can't find anything on this either through our legislature website or our newspapers/TV/radio outlets.

Good point. I mean come on what are they gonna stop anyone on the roads who happens to be caught out when a thunderstorm hit's? Yea i would highly suggest the funny farm for anyone who would even concieve of a law like this. I have serious doubts as to such a law. However if you find anything Brett be sure to post it. Thanks.

Sorry about this guys.....I was just informed that it was a local meteorologist playing a bit of a joke on us. He posted this in a "weather talk" segment on the ABC site. I'll get the article soon and post. Sorry for the commotion once again. Now I feel really :oops:
