That show is a testament to how good camera technology is these days. The footage on this show is like looking out of your window. Hopefully most of us don’t live somewhere where you can look at a tornado. Sadly, I do! Lost a couple of houses on the street directly behind me several years ago.

Yet they still can't get a clear picture of Nessie, Bigfoot, aliens or Elvis.
 
Many of the storm chasers who post videos aren't getting information of value, they're looking for clicks. Here in Kansas there was a problem with these folks in one area of the state. They were blocking roads and interfering with first responder access.

From what I gather, the amateurs (not to be confused with people doing research) are creating concerns for the safety of the people who live in the area and themselves. Many of them are ignorant of the peripheral hazards (e.g. extremely large hail) and risk becoming victims themselves.

It's always problematic enough after a storm dealing with legitimate news reporters. In a confusing (and frequently dangerous) situation, victims don't deserve having emergency response impeded because there's a group of thrill seekers getting in the way.

My guess is that others are aware of disaster response that has been delayed by the curious (hurricane, earthquake, wildfire, flood). The problem with tornadoes is that they are short term events and it's become fashionable to try to find them on the ground.

we have used our shelter now 3 times in just 4 years
i get concerned when we are inside it that a tree will fall on us blocking the door
but it has protected us .
the noise is unreal
lucky for us the only thing that got moved was the mobile home behind us on its blocks,
