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.
I read an article, earlier this morning but can’t find it now, that showed a red orb which one of them had to place, on foot, in front of an oncoming twister, so it’d get sucked-up into the funnel and give out all kinds of measurements.
That’s just one reason they got so close to the vortex of those storms, only to have one turn suddenly into their path and cause injury/death. Samaras’ company held the record for lowest millibar measurement of tornado activity.
Damn, I wish I could find that article.
Watch the film clip vid; they refer to the probes. The footage is scary:
