    Just watched you and your Dad on Max Plus. My heart goes out to everyone that gets hit with tornados. You storm chasers put your lives at rick to inform people and to help people and may God protect you all at all times. Bless each and every one of you. Never stop chasing and thank you for all that all of you do.

    I hope meteorologists see this video. This derecho spawned a lot of tornado warnings on the front edge of that derecho 7/15/24, but no tornadoes were detected. Showing what the clouds and winds were doing on the front edge of the storms while tornado warnings were being issued is very valuable information. I love what you do and y'all did an awesome job with this intercept. Stay safe! ❤

      This got super dangerous when it got close to Chicago. Zero visibility at that point and lots of tornadoes. Ef2 hit Franfort while I was at work. Close call for us there.

    I took a 10.2k J/kg CAPE sounding with sufficient 30-40 knot mid and upper level support to boot just north of the metro on the 20z HRRR and decided to "chase" by staying at work in downtown Des Moines and NOT taking PTO for once. Got the EF-1 just as it crossed the loop, took a few decent pictures for the NWS. Cell formation and merging happened about a county NW of town over only a half-hour span just ahead of the southward-bound OFB from the main line by Ames, carving a brief but PERFECT hook echo and fat wall cloud as it rolled in. A chase partner of mine got a brief one up by Iowa City at 20z too - what a day!

    Roughly an hour later from what you see at 2:40:55 in this amazing chase video is what I watched approach from my windows. This monster was so huge and affected such a widespread area. It was garbage night where I was too so the whole area is littered with garbage now. There was no warning or time to pull in the bins. The sirens went off after the initial line passed too so people had to scramble to their safe areas while hearing minor debris smack their homes. Excellent work on this chase!!

    Super familiar with the whole area between the Quad Cities and south of Geneseo, hit East Moline pretty hard but rapidly intensified after it passed Geneseo. Was watching the live news and they showed a 130mph reading on the velocity around Kewanee. Lived in the QC for 25 years have never seen winds like this storm.
