I agree, my opinion of him has now dropped to similar to "DOCTOR" Josh.Tornado Tim wrote:The latest Show demonstrates that Reed is actually quite an a-hole when it comes to differences of opinion.
Kicking Joel out of the car is quite low.......

That Oklahoma tornado got an EF4 rating. It produced a 47mb pressure drop in 1 minute as it passed over a weather station. That would make your ears pop.

Re: US Storm Chasing 2011
I see he has already half sold it. There is good demand in USA spring for chase tours and I suggest they are worth every cent for those interested in thunderstorms.

Re: US Storm Chasing 2011
I think they'll make something about storm chasing. The storm chasing docos are popular in USA, so there is money in it.

Re: US Storm Chasing 2011
Reading between the lines I kind of got the impression they were asked to cull the series but didn't want to, subsequently I suspect they are under pressure to make it seem more dangerous and difficult to do, the reasoning could be to try to reduce the number of people trying to do it themselves from watching the series (and getting psyched up from it).
I suppose it would be a fair request if the series has caused a dramatic increase in chasers and they are putting themselves and others at risk.

Re: US Storm Chasing 2011
I have read on Stormtrack that last seasons ratings were not good. I'm sure most storm chasers in USA will be happy to see the show finish.
