  • 30 minutes of close-range, wedge tornado intercept action of the TOP WEDGES of the last 20 years, including the Manchester, SD F4 on June 24, 2003; F5 SW of OKC on May 3 1999; Bowdle, SD monster wedge on May 22, 2010; and the Almora-Bluffton, MN monster on June 17, 2010. Absolute storm chasing insanity. IF you are sensitive to loud yelling, please check out a calmer weather channel. Never stop chasing

    Say what you want about Reed Timmer's yelling, at 11:35 he was SPOT on his calls and got tracked the tornado's movement perfectly, as well as had compassion about the house being destroyed. The man is a total professional who knows what he is doing.

      Well I suppose when whatever supernatural supreme deity involved is throwing an almighty hissy fit, manifests a tornado and starts throwing his toys all over the place, in tornado manifestation, you have to yell to be heard. Not to mention the sheer adrenalin of being in the proximity of such naughty bad temper, I imagine I'd be yelling too!

I’ve never acted like he does. In fact, there’s videos with some of his team explaining why they left him. They all said the same thing. He exploits other people, is consistently late and on his own schedule, and is a straight up “dick.”

    You guys gotta understand Reed, he knows tornado psychology. So when he yells and screams he's actually scaring it away. Reed just asserts his dominance over the tornado. 😎
    Proof: 16:29 it actually runs away from Reed when it was just coming at him 😲
    If he could he would probably wrestle it into submission if it would let him get close enough. But seriously Reed is a legend and I know I've never seen someone have such raw passion and emotion when it comes to chasing storms.

    Idk why everyone is hating Reed, he help save lives by giving feedback to TVN, and broadcast what’s on the ground, sure, he’s loud, but it’s part of excitement and doing what he enjoys, I’d happily chase with Reed if I could, regardless of his noise level, I also get excited by tornados and severe weather, I’m also quite the noisy person when overwhelmed with weather, Reed is an idol. I appreciate his time with storm chasing and giving advice, feedback to help prevent any lives lost. And I also appreciate his passion as well, not just for tornados and supercells, but hurricanes, lightning, hail, floods, and more. He’s inspired me since I was at a young age, I’ve started following my dreams of being a storm chaser, to help protect those in the path of these beasts of nature, and give advice to the civilians and news reporters, not just for fun and money, but passion too. His yelling gives me the vibes he feels, and the passion to continue watching, it even gives me adrenaline. Reed is so far one of the only experienced storm chasers left along with Pecos Hank,I don’t know what happened to Sean Casey and his crew... I don’t take it for granted, because there could be any day, any time he could be taken from us too, like the past crew, such as Matt Hughes, Tim and Paul Samaras, Carl Young, Richard Henderson,Joel Taylor... R.I.P to those stunning people, I now appreciate and love Reed more then I have lately, I pay my respects to all those in the past and present & future. Stay weather sabby Reed :) keep chasing and following your passion ❤️

    I wonder if that was my cousin's house that went poof in the Manchester tornado. They lost everything except the clothes they were wearing. Their house was on a slab and they had an in-ground storm shelter. When they came out of the shelter the slab was all that was left. Their house, a car, 2 trucks, 2 outbuildings, and a barn were just gone.

    Chasing tornadoes in general is obviously very dangerous, sure you can slim your chances by being more cautious but possibly losing your life just comes with the territory. Reed is passionate about what he does let him do it how he wants. If you don't like the screaming & constant talking then watch someone else. I personally like it bc it's real. I'm sure if it were you in that situation, you'd act the same way. Keep pushing Reed! There's plenty of us out here that genuinely enjoy your content.

I didn't understand what was happening at the time or what a tornado even was all I remember is the fear and devastation and since then I've been both terrified and wildly interested in tornadoes. They give me anxiety but I can't help but watch, but it's crazy when I seen that footage I suddenly felt super on edge when I've seen so much of your other amazing footage so when I went to look back at what event it was it was shocking to find that I think my body remembered even if my mind didn't

    From 5:45-12:35, that one guy Alex is the most sensible there and deserves more respect from his crew members. He isn't a war dog or soldier, so he shouldn't be shouted at to do things. Furthermore, he appears to be the driver, so they should really be respecting his decisions as he can easily turn the car around and end their careers (by not reporting the tornado). Alex is the real MVP and I hope he lives the longest.

If you're here for the first half of May, you're probably going to be able to see a tornado. Maybe not in person (unless you're with an expert, I would hope) but definitely live coverage on the local news within 20 miles of where you are in the OKC metro, and you will definitely be able to drive through the debris days after (just don't do it right after; let search and rescue and emergency crews do their thing, please.)

Messing with a tornado that size and Alex is totally the smart guy in the car then at 31:32 you go freaking the heck out like you usually do. Maybe you don't mind being reckless but the people in your car are your responsibility. One of these days someone is going to get hurt. I used to be a big fan until I realized all the hype around your shows tornado chasers and such caused a lot of people to become storm chasers and you being reckless i fluenced this new breed of storm chasers that I believe influenced that el Reno tornado where the streets were so blocked by extreme storm chasers instead of professionals lead to several getting boxed in when the tornado changed directions.
