1) Far too many chasers are in it for web clout and not the love of weather. 2) Chasing in Dixie is never remotely worth the money some of y’all spend to do it. 3) Non-meteorologist chasers should stop publicly sharing their custom “outlooks,” especially high school kids

I gotta say, I’ve always admired Reed Timmer’s chasing career but last night the man who so many young chasers look up to was setting a HORRIBLE example. Several occasions of reckless driving and being north of a tornado that could occlude at any moment… We cannot ignore this.

We need a new name for “wall cloud.” Clearly the name implies that any cloud that looks like a wall (shelf clouds, roll clouds) is therefore a wall cloud. Hence why so many chasers and the entire general public mistakenly report them. I can’t think of a good alternative tho lol

I’ve been seeing more chasers claim scud features like this as tornadoes. Structurally it wouldn’t make sense for a tornado to be here - it’s gonna be to the left behind the RFD rain. And in fact there is a rain-wrapped EF-1 damaging Marysville, KS on 6/11/22 at this exact moment

Word of advice to my chaser friends - try to develop some healthier coping skills because some of y’all get WAY too shook when you miss a tornado. You can’t expect yourself to be on the right storm 100% of the time. Just enjoy life while it lasts because it doesn’t last long.
