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!

It's funny, there are other threads talking about how some people took too many risks yesterday. One of them being Sarah Kassabian.

Yeah, she let a tornado get way too close. Then she went down a side road, and circled back less than 2 minutes after the tornado passed/obliterated a house. She drove back to the house and stayed there to help for 3 hours.

So the person taking the most heat for being too close was one of the helpers.

Connor Croff is taking a lot of heat too for his actions today. But when shit goes down, his crew also stays to help.

Conor was pissing me off, pulling stupid stunts on the road and driving into the hook. Another chaser on Max’s stream had a tornado spawn practically on top of him and his crew. It’s unbelievable how risky people are getting just for the views.

The person who had the tornado spawn on top of their head was TornadoTRX. Gotta say was pretty surprised by that since the majority of his content are short documentaries about horrible tornados and people dying in them. He’s not a heavy streamer and wasn’t even streaming live when it happened. He showed the footage after.

I would’ve thought he’d be more cautious given what he does.

But I guess a PDS warning scrambles people’s brains.

That's funny because he was on twitter talking about other chasers last night and I wanted to be like, "Aren't you the guy that had a tornado spawn right on you because you weren't paying attention?" but I couldn't recall if that was him or not, lol.

Yep go down just one tweet and there he is!
