"We're proud to present our new online series, Tornado Chasers. It's my dream to bring this to the world for free, but the professional, TV-quality production of Tornado Chasers was funded entirely out of our own pocket. Each one of you is an important part of our team, and I'll be forever thankful for you helping us do the only thing we know -- chase storms." Reed Timmer
This show is addictive. I've been binge watching the 2013 season all weekend. Its crazy how they just drive right up into a massive tornado!
I'm 1 year behind u. Really was revited to all the breakdowns on different channels of the historic 2013 El Reno storm too.
tell me about it, I started watching them in elementary school- I still to this day rewatch the shows. and to put it into perspective im in college now haha.
Thanks for making these guys! I was so disappointed when the Discovery Channel canceled the show, but this is the next best thing!
Thanks for your work Pi! Love the vids, including the storm chasing ones.
Hello Pi!! I love your storm chasing video❤❤
Wow, I remember watching this when I was younger. This was the video that got me into storm chasing! Thanks, Reed! Wish TVN would come back together one day...
throughout seeing reed in illinois when i was 5 and still watching his shows chasing storms 13 years later still shows i want to follow his footsteps
Rest in peace Joel . We miss you.
I agree I'll miss you Joel taylor
I love how real Reed is in this. I'd watch them everyday. Even pay for it.
Hey there- If you could check your email account that you used with your TVNweather membership, you should find an email with a free voucher for another episode. We made sure to cover that base for people who had purchased this one!
🍌
We need a season three and four mr Reed
Yes we do need season 3 and 4
LUV the opening. And the innocence of your "maiden voyage" into independence in storm chasing! Fun dialing it back. So much spirit! We knew you when,right?!
oh there's a massive tornado right over there? BETTER ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW!
Haha...you tell her that she needs to get used to eating junk food when on the road hunting down twisters. Meanwhile she's already digging into a bag of snacks, she's already there Bud.
I love this series, thanks so much for creating this with your pals and uploading it Reed.
So glad we don't have the drama between the characters that the Discovery Channel enticed. I hated seeing disagreements & frustration such a main focus of the show.
That's because it was real!! 🤔
@@beckylynn209 no. The Discovery channel show wasn't a documentary show about storms but a reality show so a lot of the drama in that show was staged because it's a reality show. Tim Samaras himself said he was happy that the got cancelled because he didn't like how the show staged a lot of the drama and how it focused more on the drama Than on the storms
I had a friend just like Reed. They are a special breed. He will yell at you when he's riled up in the middle of the moment but won't even hardly remember doing it. Aka, it is NEVER personal. Being overbearing comes from the passion within them. It's not a character flaw. But they rarely connect at a very deep emotional level with anyone even though they think they do. The passion of what they do will always take first place over relationships people. Why? It's just who they are and that's ok.
Love this comment
Great comment. Given that his team has changed so much, it's possible that some of those relationships have worn thin. His passion seeks to serve all of us, though - and for that I greatly appreciate it. Reed's a gem.
"hi. my name is reed timmer, and you're watching the disney channel!"
windowsnerd basically the same thing. Both bring joy to watch (depending on age and/or taste in entertainment)
The use of the riptide gp songs here from the game go absolutely perfect with this series
As much as i hate tornados, this inspires me to storm chase as i get older! Thanks for sharing this masterpiece!! Cant wait to do it my self😀😀
Oh wow Chris chittick from tornado hunters! Mad respect for all you guys. Hope to go chasing spring 2021. Would be my first season chasing outside of my home area, right now just been spotting.
storm chasers and ghost adventure are two of my favorite shows! nice to know other people enjoy chasing tornados and ghosts!
I miss these longer 20+ minute specials, they're so fun and intriguing. Would love to see more longer episodes!
I can hear Joel laughing. Great show Reed. I loved it now I need to buy the rest!
I forgot how much I missed these shows. Obviously, I wish they were longer, but I'll definitely take what I can get!
I want a text tone of Reed’s overstated laugh
i really want to follow in Reed's footsteps, i love tornadoes so much
Reed is the man.
Reed is the only storm chaser I've seen who wears flip flops while chasing. XD
Chase or be Chased -Reed Timmer
Fluffybluebadger Lol I agree that part cracked me up! Reed:We chase storms but sometimes storms chase us My Family:HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I gotta' say guys, I'm super friggin' excited about this show. I just discovered that you had a show of you chasing storms again and I'm seriously excited.
Reed is always a character, but seems to know what he's talking about (not really shown in this particular episode, but hey. . . . ya' can't be right all the time. lol).
I'll be purchasing each and every season from you guys and I sure as hell hope you keep up the good work. Be safe out there.
And I have a feeling this year will be CRAZY with tornadoes.
4:37 I love that soundtrack, wish it was a whole youtube video.. if you get my point.
This is really enjoyable to watch. It's pretty much what I wish Storm Chasers had been like. Great work guys!
Hey reed, you may not know me, but your work as a storm chaser really amazes me, you are my favorite person and want to go to OU, too. sadly, i live in AZ, where we only get dust storms and microbursts, but on sept. 27, 2014, a monster severe line of storms with a tornado reported in glendale, packed hail, 100 mph winds, torrential rain, and intense damage to trees and power, ravaged the phx area for about half an hour. trees are down everywhere, flooded washes, damaged roofs, and knocked out power for 1000s of residents, thankfully the tree branch that fell in my front yard didnt hit my 80+ dollar weather station or my house, but i did get to see a ground scraping shelf cloud and green skies with purple bolts of lightning striking only 50- yards from us. nearly knocked over my parents car, im only 13 but have been wanting to be a storm chaser/ meteorologist ever since ive been 3 yrs old! in 2010 another huge storm rolled in with baseball sized hail and 110 mph winds! destroyed cars and punched holes in roofs! scary stuff!
Alex I am only young enough to have seen bad storms but that storm is very horrible I have wanted to be like them too and you are very brave with these storms (Btw LOVE Pheonix Arizona)
i want to be a storm cheser
Alex Lubbers well tornadoes are not uncommon here in Arizona I mean October 6 2010 that was a big day tornado wise.
Oklahoma showed us once again how important your work is.
Keep doing that
Greetings from Germany!
I want to be a tornado chaser

@Amelia Unicorn FUCK.U OK BITHCH

You need a handicap van made in to a denominator Jordan would love storm chasing in his wheelchair.

"High fructose corn serup, Caffieine and carbonic acid, its an explosive cobination" lol

Oh my God!! My boys (6 & 9 yrs) watched storm chasers and now we watch your online stuff!! :) They love it already and want to be "weather men"!!! Keep chasing!! Thank you so much for your videos :)
a needle with two wedges . . . that's got to be more than ice and Pepsi . . . LOL
Reed officially has the weirdest laugh i have ever seen lol
I Can't Wait to Storm Chase!!
reed has inspired me to become a meteorologist thank you reed
RIP JOEL
No one can get enough of watching them..
Reed is the real life Bill (the extreme) Harding from the movie Twister 🌪
Yes
Why hate on the dude??..He's getting his grind on!!!..Not too many Meteorologist or Storm Chasers make this kind of movement ..You see hundreds on the side of the road filming from miles away or closer but not on a consistent basis ...Go get EM Reed..Never stop chasing!!
0:36 - 0:37 that moment when you risk yore life
MY FKIN HAAAAAAAAAAT

Careless Mustard I feel like Joel will always be with them
Man Chris Chittick is one good friend! Wish he was still chasing with Timmer.

Q: Where are the seatbelts?
A: Behind the vehicle's passengers' backs, unused.
ME: How smart is that??!!??
Socks and flip-flops ??
Yeah, baby put all those tornadoes on RUclips love it
Tornados are beautiful. But i'm afraid of tornados. .-. Really my biggest fear ever. X.X
I Love Reeds laugh
So it’s now 2018 are these cars still running?
there still running in 2019 he jsut uploaded yesterday a video of I think dominator 2 or 3
Storm chasing is so cool because you can travel to the ends of tornado alley and still find a fellow storm chaser
Brave men !!! You guys doing a terrific job. Those are enormous tornados and dangerous too sometimes, are they? I like watch your videos. By the way, how far isShamrock from Gulf of Mexico ?
...WHAT!!!!!!!
whattt .....you understand from my comment??
Andreas Christodoulou uh what was I talking about
Andreas Christodoulou no not brave men stupid mens
This is by far the best intro.
Sometimes you rock...sometimes you bust!!
I would love to go chasing tornadoes with the timmer man he knows what he is doing
I liked Joel ... Shame they argued loads
Reed, socks with sandals? FIRED!
I saw the tiv they must playing with a tornado
Jesteście zwariowani :P nigdy nie odważyłabym się nawet spojrzeć na tornado, a co dopiero je tropić :) podziwiam Was :) tak naprawdę to dzięki takim ludziom jak Wy, my zwykli wystraszeni obywatele tej Ziemi, możemy spojrzeć na cierpienie innych z innej strony... Całe szczęście, że w Polsce "tornada" zdarzają się sporadycznie :) Pozdrawiam Was serdecznie i uważajcie na Siebie Chłopaki :)
I WAS IN THE SHOW OOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGG I SAW MY GRANDMA I WAS WITH HER HECK YA BOOOOIIII
no one gives a shit...
Campbell Smith lmaooooo
Hi Reed! I love this Kind of Disney! 😀 I'M in Germany but i like to watching your chasing Videos. I love tornadoes! We have in Germany some too. Oh my goodness, like E-F2-3 twisters. Chiao
Little friction between Reed and Joel?
I would pay any amount of money to be able to ride in the dominator durring one of your chases, that would be a dream come true !
Why reed gotta be roasting Joel alot
Hahaha
Haha, Reed roasted Joel even when they were chasing buddies.
RIP
I really love photography, these people are experts.
Nothing beats Pecos Hank!
Ben Middleton Your future girlfriend's name will be Holly. And agreed aboyt Pecos Hank.
Reed, I usually comment about the storms and all that but, this time, it’s your foot and that looks PAINFUL!! GO GET THEM TWISTERS!! 🌪🌪🇺🇸🇺🇸
RIP Joel🙏🙏❤️❤️
11:28, Wtf? Did anyone else Reed's laugh? Why is his bottom lip the only thing on his face that moves?
Just saw it WTF
I think he's messing around, I don't think that's a real laugh at all. It's part of the joke.
MithraMusic No dude. He regularly laughs like that.
Ball Sack LOL well I don't care, still love him.
I don't. LOL
Glad to see a Tornado Chasers Episode again....It's been too long
I would love to do this as my job
I want to go to college soon to study weather and then do this
Junior Laws screw college i would just find out for my self, and also my best friend dad does this and for my birthday he took me tornado hunting it is scray
+smooveidea7 do you live in oklahoma i live 30 minutes away from tulsa and i would love to do a tornado chase run with someone because I no a far pit of info about weather
Nothing to stop you. Go for it.
The music is perfect and you all are so amazing!!
im really intrested in tornadoes its really intersting to me
this is so good. I even laughed quite a bit, intro is bad ass, everything is so raw and real. Keep it up, imma buy the other episodes this afternoon.
Every time they say the name "Dick" I LAUGH SOOO HARD 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Chiuaua321 Lollipop that ain't no penis is long DICK L O Dick
I absolutely LOVE the beginning. Not that I don't love the episode, I just think that the beginning was well done. Never Stop Chasing! ~Fan For Life~
Is it weird that im only 14, and im like, seriously, super into storms and my dream job is to be a storm chaser? I honestly dont know if its weird or unnormal...
wow... thats so cool. i just think that chasing tornado's would be a fun jib and possibly exciting. i used to be really scared of storms, but i never realized how exciting and interesting they are to watch until this year
some time.
Star Thompson hey bro I wanna be a storm chaser too I love storms & I plan on being on being a storm chaser & no its not weird I'm 15. have a good day and if you wanna be a storm chaser be one I'm going too too believe in yourself.
Star Thompson im 10 and i want that job aswell
I’m 21. I’ve been fascinated with Atmospheric Sciences since I was 6 when my house got hit by a tornado. Now, every spring I storm chase across the MidWest. I’ve been storm chasing since I was 12 with several storm chasers both professional and amateur. My biggest advice to you, is start networking as soon as you can. Go to classes like the Storm Spotting Class that the NWS holds annually every spring. Read books, articles, and begin obtaining resources. The younger you start, the better your chances of surviving in a very competitive field. Find a mentor and learn everything they can teach you. Your first step though? Learn the basics. Frontal boundaries, CAPE, Wind Sheer, Dew Point vs. Temperature correlation, Helicity, literally learn as much as you can. There’s several good videos on RUclips that you can watch. They’re boring, dull, and dry, but if you are really passionate about Storm Chasing, you will put in the time now so that when it’s time for the real deal, you’re ready to go.
Also, be ready for EVERYONE to blow up your phone whenever there’s anticipated severe weather asking questions. Use social media to make mass announcements. Storm chasing is about research and awareness, so make sure you’re taking care of both.
Star Thompson SAMMEEEE
Wow 2012 I remember when they first posted this video 😩 RUclips was so REAL back then
These guys stretch one minute of action out into 18 minutes of video. Start watching at 06:00 and quit at 07:00. The rest of this is just talking heads.
They annoy the crap out of me.
4:44*
why wouldnt you just watch a youtube vid of a tornado then?? like this is literally a show about the lives of chasers as well as the chase so just watch a tornado by itself instead of complaining ??
I love the way you could get personal with the tornado
how can they stay on the ground when the tornado is right on top of them
there car has heavy armor so it won't fly away
ok thack you
What a team of legends right here.
I missed Joel
Deadloaf 847 me to
Season 1 is the best!!!!! What happened?! Where is the rest of the episodes Reed?
I wish yo guys would use the Twister theme music.
These guys used to be on the discovery channel... The old storm chasers tv series? That was them. The show got cancelled for whatever reason, and they don't really want to deal with the licensing costs of using Warner Brothers music. Especially when this is a for profit series.
It got cancelled because there was more footage of arguments between people than footage of storms. It seems like TVNweather focuses more on the weather.
yergaderga TVN was able to work drama into their story by having the tornado be the center piece of the drama. Reeds dramas were focused around data gathering, getting into the right spot, whether the idea paid off or not, and stuck to that. It's one of the reasons I've followed Reeds progress since 2006 or so when I first stumbled across some videos he posted online.
What a way to start the season, lol.
Nothing like chasing puns. I feel for Reed... -.-
who watching this in 2017
xlmobile 732 promo me!
Lol. "Never stop chasing" haha. It seems like a comedy show.
song at 15:10?
The amount of education required to practice in meteorology is absolutely astounding. Mr. Timmer is a genius, albeit a crazy one. Slacker is not one of the words that would first come to mind when thinking of storm chasers.
that is a F5 I Think
what???
Mel Mel no it is not an ef0 or an ef1. It was an ef4. The rotation was incredibly fast and if it hit houses it would be rated ef5. Remember tornadoes are rated by their damage. The ef4 didn't hit any structures but they measure wind speeds too :) but if I'm wrong I'm sorry but it's my opinion
Your a 10!
Lol Reed Timmer is like the Zak Bagans of this show :)
over 1 minute intro. hope your other videos are not that annoying.
This is a proper web series. Not some amateur youtube thing. They do make a profit off of the show.
+Amy show? They shut it down
Ashura The hedgehog Oh? Did they decide not to do another season? Because I was watching it this season and it seemed like there was a show.
It's just on their website. It used to be on TV before Tim s died
Ashura The hedgehog Oh yeah I'm well aware of that. I was referring to the web series. I am a hobbyist chaser and have followed Reed and Joel since 2007 or so. I saw the in depth examinations of the El-Reno EF-3(though technically 5)
Legends! I'm a Big fan from Ireland!
