Love to all... Uncle Jim
LTA, Uncle Jim
A few questions/comments though:
1. Did anyone else notice that in the WY intercept that they did not raise the Lexan windows in the Dominator, instead just relying on the glass Tahoe windows which obviously blew out in NE episode?
2. Sorry, but this is the chemistry professor geek in me coming through. You guys have to have collected some amazing data, but a scientist's real measure is to publish a paper in a peer-reviewed journal. Has any of the data you collected been published yet? If so, where?
3. Finally, the Reed/Joel thing. Joel got slagged by a bunch of folks earlier in the season, but the answer seems simple. For Reed, tornado chasing is his life, his career, his vocation. For Joel, the allure wore off and it is now simply a hobby, an avocation, something to do on the weekends. I cannot begin to imagine driving tens of thousands of miles a year for something that might last for a few minutes. Perhaps the adrenaline rush is worth it, but for Joel it got old?
4. It is going to be hard to top this season, short of driving into an EF-4 or higher. where do you guys go from here?
The above said, great work! From an Okie now living in OR.
It is very exciting seeing everyone collecting their data to help study these storms and we hope to be a part of that data collection in the years to come.
Great Job Guys!
Stay safe,
Fitz
