Question

Do storm chasers get paid? if so how much on avg?

Answer 1

You can get paid if you are working on a research project for a university or the government, but in general it costs money to chase.  I was out chasing last week and we drove about 450 miles per day (which cost a lot in gas) and we also needed to pay for hotel rooms.  On the other hand, I took a prototype instrument with me and made some measurements for a private company, so I did make some money back.

Answer 2

No, most of them do it as a hobby for themselves.

Answer 3

some do some are volenters, I dont know how much
