metalicwx366 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I know the plains and midwest is tornado alley, but I don't ever recall two weeks of weather like this. Where were you in April 2011? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidwestChaser Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 The guy in the video works as an intern at Norman. Wonder if that will get nixed because of this. Lol really? I wonder if they'll be happy with him as the new poster child for stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwburbschaser Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 The two week period from April 14th to April 28th, 2011 dwarfs this, despite some of the things that have happened over the past two weeks. I would say that June 2010 also tops this stretch by a long shot. It's amazing how perceptions can be altered by news coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Wasn't concerned about being picked up by tornado... just flying debris? Really Brandon?

nwohweather Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I think it was 2009? On Accuweather we had a running severe weather thread for 18 days, just active day after day. Almost a nasty line day after day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeEater Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=wuXZdpVbAec People that went flying by, they waited "two more seconds"... I wonder where those locals were that held Brandon up? Being that's Brandon's jeep right in front of them. I don't see them in this video, only Brandon's jeep stopping in the debris, and holding people up behind him. Hmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_B Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 The craziest thing about the last two weeks is that most everyone was saying this whole severe weather season was a bust before then... is it a bust now? Be careful what you wish for... I know that this is completely unrelated to tonight's severe weather, but Montague County, Tx. which is the county to the north of where I live has been under no fewer than 5 tornado warnings in the past 16 days. Here in Wise County we've had two in the past 16 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mello Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Really, he really just blamed locals doing 30 mph in front of him? Really now? And just blew off the damage to his truck. Oh, I'll get that fixed next week and be out there doing it again. Whoa, did he really do that? When in that video he stopped and forced another car behind them into the ditch? Amazing.

DDweatherman Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Any cells looking particularly interesting? There are still a number of SVRs going on, and one TOR (radar) in IL. Not anything out of the ordinary thankfully, though those people hit by line segments night after night in IL are getting it again along with an embedded spin-up.

If they were concerned about the debris rather than the tornado, maybe they should have stayed in the wide open space with no building rather than driving into buildings getting torn apart.

Its ironic that video is titled "HD" when its the furthest thing from it, its the most pixelated video I've seen in weeks. I can barely make out anything. Those training storms in OKC are crazy, I doubt I've seen anything like that ever. It just keeps generating like that. It reminds me of a lake effect snow squall but only the dbz is much higher.

NTXYankee Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Hi everyone, new to the forum and the area, that being the southern plains, in particular north texas. I know very little about how storms operate down here, it is a bit different here compared to up north with drylines, caps, etc. I have noticed the storms moving north in Oklahoma, Dallas is supposed to get storms tomorrow, not like what we saw today, but none the less, storms. Was wondering what implications the storms up north will have with frontal movement, etc for this area tomorrow. The NWS here and models show front coming through early afternoon, but wondering if that might be pushed back given what is going on in Oklahoma and add anything extra to the mix such as outflow boundaries mixing in. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bozart Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 The media is heavily to blame. They reward stupidity. Granted a lot of people chase too close but clearly today was not the day and people knew that ahead of time. But video has made a lot of schmuck losers famous so what can you do. "One of my long standing concerns has been that storm-chasers may eventually draw too much publicity, and chasing will become another mass cult of the leisure class, much as scuba-diving or hang-gliding." -- David Hoadley, 31 December 1977, Stormtrack (1st issue) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
