"Storm's already tried to kill us twice and may try again" LMAO
Y'all are waaaaay braver than me - when skies turn dark, I turn a deeper shade of chicken. Besides, hard to chase with no car. Running down the road on my cane: instant lightning rod! LOL Great captures, or as y'all say, "SWEET!" And it is - so much so, subscribing and adding to playlist. H

Wow! That was very exciting! The windy, stormy noise at 3:30 was so cool. Tornadoes are cool, however, when they are occuring in real life, it can be very scary. Where did the tornado occur? If in Oklahoma, I won't be very surprised. Oklahoma gets hit with the most tornadoes in the entire U.S. I love the video! You guys are great!

That was some excellent video of a supercell tornado...great wall cloud shot! You were definitely in the jaws of the beast! As organized as you guys were with your equipment and chase team, it's your lack of organization at "The Getaway" is what's going to get you killed! Be careful!

Wow you guys have some guts! I couldn't get over how much rotation there was when that funnel formed. Did that thing form into a wedge? With that kind of rotation I wouldn't be surprised. But...next time you might want to be a bit more careful. That was a close call

actually, I wouldn't. My uncle chased tornadoes all the time, and we all feel that if they are out there chasing them they know what could happen. I wouldn't feel different. Besides, no one told them to be that close, they knew the consequences, it's all in the chase. Lighten up

I wouldnt feel comfortable with someone I cared about being there.... But I respect what they do, immensely. I hope I can do it someday!!!! I get so excited just thinking about it, they fascinate me, it's a rush just to think about haha. But yah, as a storm chaser, he chooses what to do, he knows what could happen, and loves every second of it, otherwise , why do it?
It's their video, ... ( 2 days ago by dachrisman2004)
It's their video, and they can do what they want. I'm totally sure you would be silent as a grave is a tornado was dangerously close to you....right?
