@JNelsonLangley @ReedTimmerUSA I mean it goes into tornadoes! Nothing is made to be inside tornadoes, even if you make it to be inside a tornado!

@ReedTimmerUSA You guys have more trouble with that vehicle

We have a PDS OIL BLOW BY situation with the #Dominator 3! We have arrived at @jakescustomdiesel to start the process of adding a new motor. We hope to be back in #tornado intercept mode by June! #Dominator #stormchasing

@TheSeventhSwell @ReedTimmerUSA 🤣💀

@ReedTimmerUSA Oil? Don't let the US government find out about this.

@Rdegroot11 @ReedTimmerUSA How about how debris moves around a tornado, and what it means in terms of velocity, trajectory, and height? And in doing so understanding the internal structure of a tornado, its very anatomy

@ReedTimmerUSA 5x posting about your "the sensor" ... and then nowhere explaining what you are sensing thats a historic accomplishment also (not)

Check out this incredible 3D trajectory of the parachuted sensor as it completed three revolutions around the #tornado, with widet circumference with height. The sensor then sampled the “vent” at the upper reaches of the dynamic pipe. It reached velocities of at least 140 mph. This is a historic accomplishment in science and engineering by @WillClay25

@BryceShelton01 @EmmaWalkerWx I'm starting to think that people shouldn't be able to do this self-taught

Folks, if you ain't otw then stay home. Y'all can't drive, can't read radar, can't forecast on your own, and probably film vertical facing the wrong direction. Glad today didn't live up to it's full potential. We've almost been t-boned, rear-ended, and sideswiped today! Thank you

@OldRocker25 @ReedTimmerUSA I'm not a car person but are there better trucks they could use? It's probably based on nothing but my grandpa always hated Fords, and he knew cars. I imagine things have changed since his day though lol

@Rowan_Wildrose @ReedTimmerUSA The Dom is built on a Ford F-350 frame.

The Dominator 3 may need a new motor

@ReedTimmerUSA Are you guys okay?

Dominator 3 stuck by lightning after major #tornado intercept. Incredible sensor data collected

@BrandonCopicWx @ReedTimmerUSA I really wish I hadn't had to work last night. I knew having to work last night would have me missing something interesting, but that's next level

@ReedTimmerUSA I will have to pull the video I have of it. Scared the shit out of me too.

Proper funding for NOAA is a matter of national security

@ReedTimmerUSA Technology man! It's wonderful when it works!

I am sorry for the canceled live stream today. We chased in my truck and had technical difficulties. I assumed that Youtube would notify when we canceled the live and was driving toward the storm. We will be fixing up Dominator 3 before Friday’s chase

@ReedTimmerUSA Hey Reed? Are you in a better headspace about chasing than you were recently? I hope you are feeling better!

PDS MAMMATUS DISPLAY ON FIRE over Norman, Oklahoma behind weakening storms! #Dominator #stormchasing

I'm not religious, but I was once. This seems like something that the church I used to attend would do if they had thought about it, & if they'd actually had a basement which they didn't. It was converted industrial space

You know, a lot of churches have basements. It seems to me that they should open their doors in the event of severe weather so ppl can gather there if they don't have basements, or worse live in a mobile home. Providing refuge from the literal storm not just the spiritual one

@PettusWX @ChrisHallWx I grew up in a trailer park, & no one should stay in them during storms. Everyone should make plans to have somewhere else to go if they can. We went to my grandparent's house. I hope if I ever live in one again a friend will let me stay with them during storms

I grew up in a mobile home at the top of a hill. When there were big ⛈️ coming my mom would take us to my grandparents who lived in a brick house w/ a basement. Not everybody has that luxury. Ppl who live in mobile homes should evacuate. But everyone else should shelter in place

@meowzerjones Or being moved to dedicated quarantine rooms until we do some genetic sequencing to determine that this virus is an unmutated strain of the typical 🐀 borne virus. Then move them to a more comfortable but still monitored space for the incubation period for their safety & ours!

So we've collectively decided that those people are staying on that boat right?

@meowzerjones Oh well, I'll watch some streams while I paint anyway! I've got no better plans 🤷🏼‍♀️

Tomorrow feels like one of those days where storms are going to get undercut by the front and everything is going to congeal into a sloppy mess. But one random storm will still manage to throw out an EF3 somewhere in Alamaba

@WhiteWeather_ Thank you for teaching me something I didn't know! I appreciate your time talking with me! Have a great day!

@Rowan_Wildrose Yeah, it seems like it stems from people not seeing a storm, noting it was hot and humid outside, then deciding that was the cause

It's actually hilarious how mad Facebook people get when you tell them heat lightning is fake

@Dainty00089412 @ReedTimmerUSA @SodaronOfficial Maybe a light on the Dominator, red for active chase/work/I'm too tired for this bs mode, green for available to approach

@Rowan_Wildrose @ReedTimmerUSA @SodaronOfficial Reed just needs to be very clear towards people who follow him, instead of being nice, as unfortunally people do not get it as it looks. Being straight to the point is more healthy for yourself. I know it can be very dificult but the best for your own health and happiness ❤️

SIGNIFICANT #TORNADO THREAT TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING across parts of central/northern Arkansas into southeastern Oklahoma! Supercells are forecast to erupt by 4 pm across northern Arkansas and later to the southwest along the cold front into southeastern Oklahoma. Latest forecast models have increased the low-level shear in the warm sector with this system. Any dominant supercells will have the potential of producing an isolated significant tornado. We have decided to activate live tornado intercept mode for this event. #stormchasing #Dominator
