was reading articles on storm chasers and it seems the chasers use or have used the Delorme Street Atlas 2015 Plus. Was wondering if a copy is around that I could buy or maybe a copy of it from one of the Chasers.

Robert, I have never heard of this to be honest. All chasers I know use GPS, sometimes with Google Maps or the likes of it. If you want to buy something from a chaser I suggest you checking in on StormTrack.org.
