So you think this is much less than 1 mile wide? and Reed Timmer went out of his way to scare people in Denton?

 

Um, that is not a mile wide wedge, by any acid-tripping, cocaine sniffing stretch of the imagination.

Reed is known for being "somewhat sensationalist", to put it mildly.

 

He has a PHD too. He needs to be careful and cautious on what he is reporting to remain a respectful member of the meteorology society.

 

A side question...Why don't storm chasers use night vision cameras to get a better view of possible night tornadoes? Are they to expensive? It would be incredible to get a solid view of a night tornado. It would also aid in the possibility of saving lives.

Mile wide wedge tornadoes are much more dangerous than weak loosely organized tornadoes like that. It is a falsified report and can create panic if NWS ups a warning per a report like that.

Yeah, that was definitely an inflated Tweet. Anybody who saw him on the TV shows knows he loves to hype.

 

NWS FWD reported a large wedge tornado on Twitter heading towards Valley View, TX. My guess is that it was because of his report.
