The wall of charcoal gray clouds drifted across the sky, the rain picked up and the storm chasers gunned it. The thrill seekers were contracted with the Weather Channel, the stars of their own show, “Storm Wranglers.” As they drove, storm-fanatic viewers tuned into their live stream on the Weather Channel’s Facebook page. “The Weather Channel had the opportunity to pull these two individuals off the road or hire a competent, law abiding driver,” the lawsuit states.

The lawsuit cites lengthy text messages between a storm chaser and a female producer at the Weather Channel.
