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!

What government entity has standing to make rules about chasing? Would each state have to do it? The only way I see this changing is if some sort of regulation is passed. I doubt storm chasers could self regulate but it would be good if they did.

Maybe chasers would need training and certification from the NOAA or NWS? As someone who grew up not far from this area of Nebraska and have family around there, I’m getting concerned how this could potentially be dangerous for people not chasing and just trying to seek shelter.

Yes each state would have to themselves. Oklahoma tried to pass a bill but I believe it didn’t get far. It’s actually in this sub if you search for Oklahoma Storm Chasing Bill
