The high res data real world map is the first time I have seen this used. I don't know how long they have been using it but it's genius. Seeing a map with roads is still helpful but when you can see your home from bird's eye view it gives a much clearer picture on where it is. Hopefully that made sense. Just got off work and I am exhausted. But again the real map is a great idea and very glad to see it used in tornado prone areas Another note is this. Jim Gardner and Val Castor are true legends of their field. They have been doing this for so long they always seem to be at the right place at the right time to catch the tornadoes as they form to give residents in the path of these monsters plenty of warning. Much respect to them
You know, I really think storm chasers should start having to be licenced. There is a lot of recklessness being observed with all this storm chaser traffic, and they really should be tested so that they know exactly what they are doing when they pursue this kind of dangerous weather. Storm chasing is very dangerous, as we have seen with Mike Bettes and Tim Samaras. And when you have television storm chasers out at night, you might want to think about giving them cameras that can take what I call "live stills", so instead of just looking at a black screen most of the time, every time lightning illuminates the scene, the camera takes an automatic still image, and then the video feed stays on that still image until the next lightning strike for another still image, that way, people at home have a continuous visual indication that a tornado is on the ground.
A possible solution is no out of state chasers. That's probably the biggest issue. Another is you must have a degree in meteorology. Chasing storms just for the thrill is straight up dumb. At least tv chasers have a purpose, like Val Castor who has meteorology degree and is providing a service. That's just my opinion.
That would be nice but it sounds like a lost cause. What if they're locals or unlucky travelers? Who is going to enforce it? Writing tickets is not a priority when tornadoes are dropping.
Amen brother. If your actions during a violent thunderstorm are not professionally and consistently in line with the preservation of life and property (police, emergency responders etc.), you should not be out there doing it. Tim was literally involved in a traffic jam of novice idiots on a rural road that had no place being there, and it quite possibly is what cost him his life. It was an incredibly erratic storm, but that's when being a professional atmospheric scientist pays off. I believe if his motion was unimpeded the three of them would have survived.
A lot of the guys are meteorological students studying to become a meteorologist. They have to have a certain amount of time out in the field as part of the program. They can rack up hours very easily during tornado season. Also some of them are graduates working for the university's meteorological programs and funded by the program. Though I do agree with you that they should take special lessons for driving in this stuff because they do become reckless trying to get that "perfect shot".
@@dalpal1495 I agree this would minimize thrill seekers. But the main thing, maybe even more than having a degree in meteorology, is being properly trained in emergency management, which would cover understanding the proper use of equipment and being able to safely negotiate the track of the storm, while providing information back to the office where they can get that info to the general public. And then they can help assist LE in first responder tasks like rescue. I minored in atmospheric science at university but I don't have the training to handle a vehicle in dangerous storms or have the skills to assist police and national guard troops in civilian rescue. But I hear what you're saying. I like idea of having to be certified in each state, and maybe being required to have a county responder with you for each area, someone that really knows the layout of the towns and has relationships with locals. Kinda similar to what federal agencies do with local law enforcement to help investigate crimes. The main thing is that there should be a law against amateurs impeding professionals in times of disasters. I don't have a perfect solution, I just know things have to change.
If you use Google Maps to watch and track this, what you’ll find is that Newcastle and Norman is actually a significant distance from each other. I imagine the people watching (especially listening to) this live were extremely confused by the tornado’s exact location and direction, especially when they were switching back and forth between the two cities. 😕 Edit: I mean 01:07:33 lol
In Texas, wishing Oklahoma well. This team works hard to provide valuable information. Thank you!!
At this point it's part of Oklahoma City's Thursday routine.
🎉🎉
which point?

I just watched a video with the two of them from 2016, I think. They're a good duo. She's great on the mouse and keys.
The best severe weather team, what a great job
God damn, things were so terrifying before we had people like ya'll. Massively grateful here in Norman.

Why does this look like May 20th 2013 tornado
I honestly cannot understand why these tornadoes keep hitting the same areas...
The geography of the area primes storms to produce tornadoes.
Tornadoes are produced by very specific weather conditions, and areas where those specific conditions are common will become hotspots for tornadoes.
A small pocket of Oklahoma is the most tornadic place on Earth.

You don’t actually need to type “Edit:” in your comment in order to modify it; it will still let you update it when you hit the button to repost it.
They are right beside each other. Newcastle is in McLain county west of Moore and northwest of Norman. What do you mean significant distance?
9.23 miles is a significant distance when talking about tornadoes?
@@justie1220 What context? Tornadoes can be up to 2 miles wide.They can travel up to 200 miles and reach a forward speed of 70mph.

Honestly the news anchor is hard to watch. The man is in a panic and acts like only news 9 covers a tornado. Only one worth a shite is jim
