zeitgeist57 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 As a long time watcher of "Storm Chasers", it was crazy to hear the news that Tim Samaras died. It's sadder to hear his son was taken as well. http://www.weather.com/news/tornado-central/tim-samaras-dead-oklahoma-tornado-kills-storm-chaser-son-paul-samaras-and-crew-member-carl-young I hear the haters saying that storm chasers are more adrenaline junkies than scientists, but it's still sad to hear that someone truly focused on the science and understanding of what makes a tornado has died...

justinwebb Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 When I read that they died chasing I was shocked as he was always the careful and planned one out of the whole show, perhaps just wrong place at the wrong time. My condolences to the family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otis Nice Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Man. That sucks. Not that they'll ever read this but my condolences to their fam and loved ones. http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/130602072636-04-midwest-weather-0602-horizontal-gallery.jpg Also condolences to those that lost everything in the tornado. ...that being said, I couldn't help but look at this pic and think, "look like the south high flea market."
