Since Discovery's decision to cancel its Storm Chasers series, Reed Timmer's Tornado Chasers has become the only game in town for a truly immersive storm chasing experience. The great thing about the show is that it's not JUST about intercepting and punching the core. As a viewer, the easiest thing in the world to do is search You Tube for insane tornado videos. What Tornado Chasers does is offer perspective. The viewer gets to see firsthand how unbelievably difficult it is for chasers like the TVN crew to actually get to where tornadoes happen. All day drives, gas station food, and the gut-wrenching "busts" of picking the wrong region to chase in or the wrong storm cell to pursue are documentary aspects you're not going to see anywhere else.And then there's the science. While most chasers merely document tornadoes and other violent weather for commercial purposes, Reed's crew repeatedly mentions throughout the episodes that saving lives is the ultimate mission statement. Intercepting tornadoes will allow meteorologists to get a better understanding of how tornadoes work; which will then lead to a more advanced warning system. This will save lives.If you are interested in heavy weather and cutting edge science, you won't find anything in the same ballpark as Tornado Chasers.
... View MoreI know I wrote a review, but it's not on here, so I shall write another one because, Reed Timmer, you are worth my time to write this. You educated me more with your series then anyone else on t.v. did. I appreciate the fact that you let us all be part of the experiment of the show you put together and I, for one, would not hesitate to donate again to another season. I would love to see you continue this work and provide us the knowledge that we learn by watching you and reading your work. Please continue doing the series - I'll contribute again, because it's worth every penny that you need to make the show. You have millions of fans and keep the Dominator driving and don't stop filming nor posting updates on everything and anything weather wise, Dominator wise, and personal wise. We love you Reed - keep DOMINATING woot.
... View MoreI am terrified of tornadoes. Terrified. Watching Reed and his team on a mission to give people a fighting chance with faster warnings gives me peace of mind. I subscribe to TVNweather and watch all his video clips. I follow the live storm chasing map, even when it is no where near Biloxi, MS. I have loved watching Reed from the very beginning. No one like him. I love his laugh. I love his energy. Someday I may go on a storm chasing tour but only with Reed's team. Even if he does crazy things and gets too close, he always cares about the safety of his team. I admire him very much. I wish he were back on the Discovery Channel. People need education about tornadoes and how to stay safe.
