Rest in peace Tim, Paul and Carl. Thank you for the work you've done for the science world and for helping to prevent the deaths of countless americans.

This saddens me and angers me at the same time. He left us to early. RIP. :(

i live 5 miles east of where the tornado was. the tornado was tracking to the NE and made a sudden shift back to the SE and trapped many ppl on the highway 7 ppl were killed including a young mom and her 3 month old baby. the chasers were as unlucky as the mom and her infant it can happen to anyone when it does that is a sad day. my thoughts and prayers are with the families who lost loved ones. one day it may happen to you or a loved one would you want someone to be so insensitive?

Live by the tornado, die by the tornado.

They found out they were on a back road tried to turn around got stuck in mud tornado shifted they were sitting ducks

[ominous]

he went and got not only himself killed but also his son and colleague. unbelievable

[Pausinohui]

no. I think it is for science, for studies that help people predict tornados and storms, so He actually is responsable for a lot of research and saving lives through his work, it is sad that they die, but at least they were doing what they were passionate about, a short life good lived is best than a long one but unfulfilled.
