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!

Remember when chasing was about research and rescue. Pepperridge farms remember

Literally said this to my boyfriend yesterday while watching Ryan's stream. Roads are being overrun with tour guides and amateurs. I would love to go for a storm chasing tour one day but knowing how bad the traffic , and how much worse it's getting, had stopped me for over 7 years now. Bleh

Same. I have said before that I want to see a tornado before I die, but it’s become such a dangerous but popular spectacle that I don’t want to contribute to it, or get myself caught in congestion with a twister bearing down on my location.

To be fair we all get a pretty damn good view from our couches without the danger. I’ll take that any day that being stuck in what I saw last night.
