It’s interesting watching the young bucks on #wxtwitter wrestle with that weird uncomfortable feeling in their gut, struggling with the reality that this thing that drives them also has the potential to wipe entire towns off the map. I think it’s #Scantman #soapbox time 1/?

It’s very very easy to be respectful and reverent and sensitive to people impacted by the storms you chase. Don’t be a dick. Every chase, you’re out here having the time of your life, and someone in the exact same spot is having the worst day of their life. Remember that.
