Thank you ALL for ALL you do to warn people of these catastrophic storms! Watched you guys on Max Velocity for many hours yesterday. 🙏🏻♥️👍🏻

I saw this live on Ryan Hall last night. The tornado is incredibly large. Thanks to all the brave, courageous storm chasers. Sometimes, without them, it might be too late for people to seek shelter. If there is any kind of storm, BE PREPARED FOR THE WORST, and hopefully, it doesn't get that bad. Once again, thank you.

the footage that Brandon Copic got of this thing was incredible, some of the most amazing footage of a monster tornado I've ever seen.

Watched until you ended the stream and was so stressed seeing that tornado emergency. I'm very glad you didn't get closer to it, as it's called an emergency for a reason. Never apologize for making your safety a priority ~ great job, DL and Garrett!

Connor- "Stay away from this thing"... as he drives into this thing😬 Excellent work gentlemen!!!!

When two tornado emergencies and countless other pds and regular tornado warnings happen in one day, you know that day will be remembered for a long long time.

I was watching this live and was feeling physically ill, definitely praying for everyone’s safety. I shed some tears. Your coverage was incredible and what you do for sure saves lives, keeping people informed.

Thank you for what you do! It's so important with storms like this that people can SEE what they need to take shelter from, it really drives the point home.

Great job on this capture of this tornado. I saw it from Brandon Copic's stream but it brings new light to things when you see it from another persons eyes. Thanks for sharing.

This amazing footage reminds me of the tornados from the April 2011 Outbreak. This footage is something else.

My heart is racing just watching this after the fact. I watched it last night for a long time and was praying for anyone on the path of this enormous storm front. I don't think I could have watched this live.

Saw this last night on Max Velocity’s channel so I came over here to like and subscribe. Unreal footage! Stay safe out there!
