You literally said he's making it up, he provided multiple evidence and proved you wrong, and now you can't accept being wrong and are mad 😂

EF2, EF3, EF anything. It severely impacted people to the point where it's going to be something those impacted have to live with forever. It's crazy how people are more worried about a rating than helping those impacted

update on
@lolllsage
. We all make mistakes, some worse than others. I just want to let anyone concerned know that she has admitted herself into a hospital for mental care. She isn't taking things well at all, especially after this morning. No one deserves to be pushed

I just wanted to update those that are concerned. Please pray for her. I can't stop crying knowing I couldn't be there directly for her and I pray I'll be able to talk to my best friend again soon, as she has helped me get through my lowest of lows and stopped me from self harm💔

to that point where they want to harm themselves. She is my best friend and my heart is shattered to know she hit that point this morning. Prayers are much needed that she will recover and be back soon. This post was very hard for me to make. I'm not okay either right now but

Nearly clear skies in Richmond, Indiana and all around as far as the eye can see and already approaching the mid 60s. This day has a different feeling for sure.

Am I the only one crazy enough to drive 6 and a half hours from a viewing area in Northern Illinois to far Northwestern Wisconsin just to try and get the best show possible? 😂

April 26, 2024. I still can't believe I didn't even look into chasing that day and it wasnt far away. Biggest regret since I've started chasing

Comparing the oceangate titan that was built to ignore the safety guidelines by a rich guy, to the dominator which was built by the biggest expert in storm chasing and has multiple extra safety measures to withstand a strong tornado and has only proven to be safe is wild 😂

And when McDonald's was supposed to be the cheaper-quicker option. Now it's also almost as expensive as eating at a restaurant minus tip

A dream come true! Waking up to a follow from the GOAT and my biggest inspiration was the best thing ever! I remember watching Storm Chasers from the very start when I was little and ever since then I've been the biggest Reed fan ever. Thank you

Wasn't going to post but here's a sped up version of the severe part of the Squall-line that moved through Minooka, IL. Ignore my hand for the first 10 seconds 😂

Tomorrow is going to be the ultimate test of using everything I've learned in the past year since I started chasing and putting it all together. Thoughts and prayers to all of us chasing as well as everyone in the path of these storms.

A new chapter: Going to focus on healing and becoming a better person and storm chaser going forward. These were from 4/16 just Southeast of Burlington, IA in Illinois looking over the Mississippi River as the storms crossed over

Wow, that’s not impressive at all. This is a terrible capture. I hope you didn’t take this. If so, where was this taken? May WeatherNation share your video on-air and online with all credit to you so we can shit on you?

Thread: 1 year ago, it was my 2nd ever chase, only 5 days after completely failing my 1st on March 31st by going to Peoria like an idiot, I positioned myself much better early on enough and learned from my mistake a few days prior.

Happy birthday
@ReedTimmerUSA
!!! Thank you for being such an inspiration to myself and so many others and for providing us with the best chases, intercepts, and...well...memes like this! I've looked up to you ever since Storm Chasers when I was little!

I can definitely see the risk being expanded from the SPC, with an upgrade to moderate and a larger enhanced area

Dude I got trolls upset that I drove 10 hours to chase in the area I've dreamed of chasing (the plains in Oklahoma) and was happy to see 2 brief, non-destructive tornadoes 😂

I think it's actually a great thing to post long range models. It not only gives people a heads up on what COULD happen, but it also gives us a great way to see how models can change week by week, day by day, hour by hour

Just now seeing all the drama pop up on my feed. With that said my focus is completely on actual weather related things, such as will the 00z HRRR make me sad or will it give me hope? If it gives me hope, how will I avoid choosing the wrong storm? (Impossible) 😂

Wow, 100 followers already!? It was at the beginning on the year that I was only around 25, I don't exactly remember. I can't thank everyone enough for the support of trying to make my dreams come true to become a full time storm chaser one day!

As an Illinois chaser, Marginal days are better and perform better than any Slight or Enhanced risk. I said what I said.

Do you think Indianapolis is in the risk? Based on my observations, it looks like it MIGHT be in the risk area, but I'd rather have your professional thoughts
