this is the most terrible video I have ever seen of a 'tornado' or 'lowering'. Chasing after dark or around sunset is a poor poor poor idea. Dean and N5351A are 100% correct. on everything. and stormchasedotcom also. Someone in the chasing community got ahold of your group and theyre draggin MIDSCAR thru the mud and I guarantee with that and seeing this video you wont be having any respect in the chasing community ever.

"OH Hell Look at that" Look at what?!?! 4:16.....Epic Fail.

You really think this is the most terrible video you have ever seen? I've seen a LOT worse so you need to look around before you say stuff like that. Whoever is "dragging my name through the mud" has no right to. I've done NOTHING wrong in my opinion, and several others would share that thought with me

[weatherisntfornewbs]

Yes. It is. Its that terrible. You get a razzie for worst acting ever in a movie. Maybe you and your buddy Richard Heene can have a talk about storm chasing.

The fact is this, your buddy James called out Chad Cowan a veteran storm chaser, and made an a** of himself on the storm chasing forums. your drawing of a "new" TIV has also got everyone in an uproar. Needless to say, your own dad posted that you went on a highway the wrong direction on a chase. Need we say more? No. blacklisted.

Ok the TIV idea being brought up was my fault. I have an extreme passion for tornadoes and I got a little carried away. Its something i'm NOT going to tempt for a long time. I'd rather have a long life.

As for driving the wrong way down the road, if i have my days right, that was in may of 2008? and that was an onramp (no cars nearby). I have MUCH more experience now than i had last year with much more to learn. I know it doensnt make it right but what's done is done :-(

Pokerguy's a fucking tard. I'm guess the 17 at the end of his name is his age so I'm guessing the "I'm a met student" and "Trained spotter" is pure bullshit. If you want to think I know nothing about chasing go right ahead, but you'll be dead wrong. I'm looking forward to the day every chaser in the country is watching the best tornado of the decade but pokerguy and MIDSCAR are missing it cus they think the rainshaft they're looking at is the tornado

[MIDSCAR1]

And about his age...does that mean i'm 1 year old since I have a 1 in my screen name? I don't think so. Think before you say anything, and quit insulting my and others intelligence. As i said on your channel, i'll take constructive criticism but not insulting my intelligence which is what you've been doing

firstr thing i noticed was a possible wall cloud.. hard to tell on vid but be easy tot ell in person

[ilovemoney888]

the last time tallahassee florida had a tornado it was also dark but i pretty much kept on eye on the trees around me to see which way the tornado was moving

[pittresident]

I have to agree, this is terrible. The commentary is horrible, these people have no business being out there. No clue what they're even looking at. Yet they want to be known as "Storm Chasers & Researchers".

[weatherisntfornewbs]

alrighty, thanks for the post on stormtrack. good to see the err of your ways. we are more forgiving than most on there. As I have said in other places, your buddy james with his big mouth is going to get you in trouble with the storm chasing community. Im just warning you now, we see people like him ALL the time and the farther you run away the better for your reputation in the present and future.

You need to eat your own words bud. You may think I don't know shit about chasing but I do. Think what you want though
