One of the other storm chaser’s vehicles lost its hood, in the Monroe tornado video.

When you leave a vehicle that close to a 200mph+ storm, you either get pierced/clubbed by flying objects, or sucked-up and carried into another county or state. It’s deadly work, with a very short lifespan and resume.

RIP, those who died.

I know a pile of them.
They are very cautious intelligent men.

We would never see the footage or get the boots on the ground warnings if it were not for these guys.

True first responders.

Heck they see it coming weeks out, and they rush in.
They are working spaghetti computer models months out.

RIP indeed but then there is this...

Ron White: There was a guy, down in Florida, who said that the age of 53 years old he was in good enough physical condition to withstand the wind, rain, and hail of a force-5 hurricane. Now, lemme explain somethin' to ya: It isn't *that* the wind is blowin'. It's *what* the wind is blowin'. If you get hit by a *Volvo*, it don't matter how many sit-ups you did that mornin'.
