Those who survived this historic tornado, including TWC's crew, should really think twice now.
I think I heard Mike Bettus say that he was considering not going on the tornado hunt next year.

Mike's crew is very fortunate as TWC is reporting 3 chasers did not survive the  El Reno, OK tornado.

Samaras was very experienced as a chaser.  I remember him on "Storm Chasers" on Discovery.  Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

There are too many amateur chasers (people who know very little about tornadoes) out there.  Hopefully now they realize THIS IS NOT A GAME.
