I wonder how he chills out after the adrenaline dump. How do they bring some levity during such a catastrophic event. What’s on his post fray mixtape? Bee Gees, ABBA, Queen, Sabbath, Stevie Wonder, Chicago, James Brown, Earth Wind Fire, John Denver, Kool & Gang, Chic, Eagles, Village People….. The possiblities are endless
Thank you for covering this, and I have to admit I was worried for you, and imagining your parents giving you lectures for putting your safety at risk. But it's fascinating and sad to see how big an impact the hurricane has had. It's a shame that it sometimes takes loss to bring communities together, almost like it brings humans back to their roots. Appreciate you 😊
man I truly wish I could go on a chase with you all. Im retired do to my health. Loved Meteorology all my life, used to give my school winter weather updates in class. This is def a bucket list for me before my time has come. 50 years old with over 6 replacement surgeries and early Parkinson's for me. Stay safe gentleman but stay aggressive and ahead of things. Chase Chase Chase . Thank you gentleman for giving us the real look into what happens.
@@bandersnatchful Youd think it would just be a given at this point considering the loss and destruction that region of the world has experienced the last few decades
You guys remind me of my crazy adventurous husband. I miss him. He was a submariner in Navy. Been gone since 2015. God Bless 🙌 you guys and keep you safe. ❤
Watching this intense footage on my phone is close enough. I can't imagine experiencing this in real time. Prayers for all affected by this tragedy. Thank you Team Dominator for your hard work.
@Anonymousones1 do I want to do what they do? No. Do I respect what they do, and understand that what they do is necessary? Yes. Not everyone should do what Reed does. But then, most folks *can't * do what he does.
@@Anonymousones1Reed Timmer has a PhD in meteorology and does these storm chases to collect vital, lifesaving data and showing the rest of us what these storms can do. Some people won’t take weather forecasts seriously unless they see, first hand, what these storms can do. Dr. Timmer’s taking us directly into these storms to show people what’s up, so they leave lmao
In your video it showsFEMA supplies @28:38 just because you didn’t see them doesn’t mean they aren’t doing anything. I’m a Katrina survivor and know all the efforts made to get supplies and relief as soon as possible to the affected areas
Of course they are going to be there. But where is there? How many places, how much is the effort? And how much effort are they making to keep people from helping other people. A lot of questions, and it seems many people who are actually there are angry. And then of course you have 750$ Per family, IF they qualify, and IF they can get online to fill out a form. It's a joke. But we can foot the tax bill to send billions to other countries for their wars, right? Give me a break.
Yep FEMA isn't perfect but they absolutely have been responding to this. I'm in East TN. They are here and have been doing life saving work. This narrative that people are trying so hard to push that FEMA hasn't been here at all is strange. Unfortunately looks like a lot of people are taking advantage of this disaster as an opportunity to sow mistrust in FEMA, and by extension the current administration, for political gain. So now we have disaster victims afraid to take the $750 emergency grant because they believe they'll have to repay it with interest due to misinformation being spread, or they don't access FEMA supply resources that they're entitled to because they've been told they aren't available so they don't even try. I think Reed's a good dude and his heart is usually in the right place but it is weird to see him repeatedly pushing this anti FEMA messaging this week. Especially as he's literally showing piles of FEMA supplies as he's claiming they haven't had a presence there. And the "I haven't seen a representative yet" while failing to mention that he was only in NC for one day, a week after the disaster. (To clarify, I'm not hating on him for not being there more, I know he was having logistical issues with aquiring a vehicle and figuring out travel with a dog that's very old and not in the best of health so I'm not judging him for that at all. I just think he should have been upfront about that when he was claiming he hasn't seen FEMA presence though.)
Watching this as a national guard member who got put in Fort Meyers for hurricane relief I'm bout to get this experience personally lol Edit: I also wanna say that anyone here that isn't military personnel or helping in any other way with recovery to get the heck out of here!
27:51 Red Cross helicopter/red cross coordinates with FEMA. 28:05 Pallet clearly labeled FEMA supplies. 28:17 Blackhawk operating under FEMA management. 28:56 Red Cross helicopter/FEMA. All things FEMA that are in your video before you say you haven't seen FEMA. Understand what management means and what management does.
I sat and watched as you chased Hurricane Francine into New Orleans. You actually drove by 1/4 mile from my location during that adventure. The i watched 2 weeks later as you chased Helene into Perry. Glad you didn't stick around in Steinhatchee.
Reminds me of being in El Salvador back in 2000 and surviving earthquake aftershock while with a medical missionary team. Scary. But so glad I was there and here to tell my story.
Crazy video, also that seagull with the fish was actually an Osprey bird of prey which are pretty rare and cool. Glad you are safe and thanks for all the videos.
Sending prayers out to anyone impacted by the last hurricane, this coming one, and the next. Sending prayers out to my loved ones who are still in the thick of things.
Thanks for taking the risk to provide us with this experience. Those of us that live outside hurricane impact zones may never experience the damage and recovery efforts.
Yo my man with the 70s flare...the hurricanes turned around and went the other way-just kidding. I love it! I'm from Leesburg and all this devastation has broken my heart. And you guys are definitely risk takers. Especially Mr. Polyester ❤
A Friend of mine in Ashevlle lost his Entire Home , he Wasnt at home when it happened luckily , he is one that Never Asks For Help as He Does What vis Needed to get things done on His Own = Entire Neighborhood Showed up to Help , 😢 , afterward he cried , First Time i EVER seen him Show ANY Emotion What So Ever . Great Guy With A Big Heart That Gave of Himself Even When Not Asked .No Worries , He WILL BOUNCE RIGHT BACK !!! But he is Forever Changed . STAY SAFE = EVERYONE !!! KEEP CHASSING !!!
Hurricane helene is literally a personal horror story of mine now cuz i have never heard or seen such a powerful amount of wind in my entire life. Literally felt like the windows were going to break and debris was going to come in. Even in Georgia 😭🤚 the howling sound that my windows made literally felt like a tornado was outside of my house just watching my fam and i try to sleep
Was watching the live when Reed was making his brilliant, hurricane chasin’ chant…”This is what we do…this is what we do…this is what we do.” Lmao! 😂🙌🏼
I love how at 0:28 the video is already funny because first off on the house that says F.U Helene and there’s a hand with the middle finger. Also there’s do he a fish 🐟
hello reed timmer, its the oldest son of kris, you were planning to put probes n stuff in our yard i think but didnt so you could be in the eye. im glad you doing good! im also making a fundraiser of my own, but with roblox, i am gathering experienced developers to make a game on roblox and a fundraiser inside of it. my mom is an absolutely huge fan (which is why she freaked out on the phone XD) i hope ya have a good one!
I’m love Reed’s 100% polyester storm wear . Makes sense - it’s stylish, stretchable, non-absorbent, no wrinkle & quick drying. My guess he’s going into battle in a pair of vintage Jaymar Sansabelt action pants (sans underwear). He’s definitely free balling in this mission. My guess he’s wearing either a Van Heusen or Nik Nik brand ‘70’s disco shirt. He’s redefined Hurricane battle armor!
when they're not talking, you can really hear the Roar Sound of those Winds & almost feel the actual rocking of the Car. Incredible! Those Power Lines snapping & popping around like Whips or angry (VERY angry) Snakes

It's nice that after such a crazy tornado season Reed gets to just settle down and relax in some Cat 4 hurricanes.
😂
When the power goes out and the storm passes you can see the milky way because the hurricane wiped out the city's light pollution.
😂😂😂
Was Waffle House closed tho
Technically tornado season is still going because in these hurricanes tornadoes are spawning but they are kinda week
Dude is rocking the 70’s style!!!
Love it! 😆
Right!!
😂🎉
I wonder how he chills out after the adrenaline dump. How do they bring some levity during such a catastrophic event. What’s on his post fray mixtape? Bee Gees, ABBA, Queen, Sabbath, Stevie Wonder, Chicago, James Brown, Earth Wind Fire, John Denver, Kool & Gang, Chic, Eagles, Village People….. The possiblities are endless
He even has the matching walking style to go with the clothes. Love it!
It’s wild to me how many other drivers were out in that.
@@thatmombielife I can promise you 80% of the cars you see I bet they doing the same thing they doing storm chasers it’s wild though
People in Florida are nuts man XD.
@thatmombielife
Probably borrowing some other ppl belongings.
I thought the same thing.. Lotta headlights for a hurricane
yeah how could they get out in the storm
Looks like Hurricane Milton will be another nighttime landfall
I’m fort Myers praying this things stays north hope you do a live stream soon for some updates 🙏
Please look up patent number US 2003/0085296A1 weather is a weapon.
What time do you think it will make land fall 🤔
@@ryangraham7012 luckily it’s shifting south some critics are saying fort Myers might get hurt worse then Tampa if this continues

You captured the storm way better than any media outlet . You also really risked your life to capture it. I’m glad you all are ok.
It's weird seeing Reed look so much older now! I remember watching Tornados Chasers back in the 2012-2013 season when he was just a PhD student!

U do great work thank you for the personal look unedited,real life😊
Reed I said it once and I will say it again, you are the Eddie Van Halen of storm chasing. Damn dude that was some really insane wind and rain
That wind is making a very eerie howling sound. It's moaning and groaning like a thousand lost souls. Really spooky.
Love your stuff reed I've been I'm 21 and have been a fan since storm chasers
Love your passion and excitement 😊
Thank you for all you do and Chris hall is always having the biggest heart helping others. ❤
I sat and watched as you chased Hurricane Francine into New Orleans. You actually drove by 1/4 mile from my location during that adventure. The i watched 2 weeks later as you chased Helene into Perry. Glad you didn't stick around in Steinhatchee.
He’s making me think of Lt Dan out there in the eye of the storm screaming with excitement 😂
I get that a lot!
Dan was nowhere near the eye haha
Reed always has the best videos!!! This one the best yet. Good job guys!!
Here in Jacksonville praying for all of us😢🙏
This is crazy I’m looking in my radar on the weather channel. I have never seen a hurricane this powerful ever in history.
@@westonfranz3439 and there have been only 2 hurricanes that have originated from the gulf and traveled west like milton since 1850.
Wasn't it predicted early on to not become hurricane strength?
@@luv2luv720 yea
Hurricane can’t hit Tampa Bay it’s an Indian burial ground it has a lot of History what the Indians are claiming anyway!!
Well, here comes Hurricane Milton to really blow our minds!
Reminds me of being in El Salvador back in 2000 and surviving earthquake aftershock while with a medical missionary team. Scary. But so glad I was there and here to tell my story.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels.
16:57 “ *WOOoOoaaoHoHooOħOHOooH* “ owl ahh laugh💀🙏

Repositioning right in front of the eye seems actually kinda relaxed. No traffic, free to go wherever you need to be
12:30 was a good moment to smile 😂😂 hearing him go through the notes and then proceed to PERFECTLY hit b flat at 60Hz 🤣🤣🤣
Man, I'd give quite a bit to get a ride along with Reed and the team into a hurricane. That looks so fun!
Best storm chaser on the internet
The last stream was great, thanks for taking us with you.

Thanks Reed! Incredible footage! ❤
Id love to be there and help. DOMINATE 😮😮😮😮
Y’all please be careful. Storm surges aren’t anything to play around with. Look at W N.C. and E TN. Yeah the mom in me is coming out. Sorry.

Good video. Reed is nuts
3:29 That pose in those clothes hurt more than hurricane Helene. :F I need eye surgery to survive.
I'm seeing a bumper sticker or a t-shirt with "That pose in those clothes!" on them!! 😂 BRILLIANT!
I like it. It's a good look. 😆
