What is a storm chaser roofer and how do I avoid them?

Storm chasers are out-of-state crews who follow hail events, knock doors offering 'free' roofs, sign homeowners into insurance-scam AOB contracts, then vanish before warranty claims. Warning signs: unfamiliar plate, no NM license, high-pressure sign-today tactics.
