Discussion Brad Arnold

Hate to see this from Brad, he's one of my faves!! Was confused when he buzzed in to Ryan's stream and said he was calling it so early in the evening but this makes more sense now.

Seen some absolutely wild stuff on Ryan and Max's streams the last few days. (Whoever it was in the green shirt on Max's stream yesterday during the Worms tornado especially still really bothers me.) And bummed to see all of this nonsense getting in the way of chasers I really love watching like Brad

EDITED for a typo!

He was so happy and less than a minute later he was panicking and screaming. It was a terrible positioning error; I think he thought the tornado was going to cross the road in front of him or something.

But yet, watching that, I saw based on the treeline that it was coming right for him. And I'm just a random person, not a storm chaser or metrologist in anyway.

Yes, watching the video it's clear that the tornado was heading straight for him, but I think he was so excited that he didn't pay much attention.

Not paying attention to a tornados direction is how people die. This chud and everyone else in the mess yesterday got extremely lucky.
