Hurricane Chasers

Last night I had a lengthy conversation with a recent Mexican immigrant to New Orleans. Among a number of interesting things that he told me, the most interesting what he said about "hurricane chasers." Apparently, hurricane chasers are people who work in different construction and repair jobs that spend the hurricane season traveling between Florida and the Gulf Coast states finding work after hurricanes and tropical storms damage an area. This particular hurricane chaser is in the roofing industry and works in Dallas when its not hurricane season.
