you know I’ve been doing this for 20
years I enjoy the hell up I really do
out here watching the great clowns the
great storms you never know exactly what
you’re going to find you need to get
below ground if you possibly can you
know if it’s on top of you you can’t
outrun it don’t we got a very large wall
cloud forming in this before anything is
fitting it getting faster and faster and
faster Gary back to you it’s looking
that way not that you think it I got all
I could see was this giant wall of cloud
to the ground I’ve never seen a tornado
do what this woman had done the tornado
which had been moving to the southeast
suddenly made a turn to the left all of
a sudden it was over them and it was
around
tim was a genius great concept to try to
get a pod that would survive a tornado
that was his passion is to make
something survive a tornado and get
great data and therefore understand what
the air is doing what the pressure is
doing right there near the ground where
people live once we understand all that
the models will be better and the
warnings will be better and I think more
lives be saved I was shooting with Tim
Paul and cars in smaller less twelve
years I don’t know how many times I
circled around the globe with them
squeeze them and cause sometimes I
wondered how a single man could be so
creative he was not only planning but he
was doing Tim would have never risked
anything for his son never ever
Paul had this qualities as a
videographer and suddenly this
father-and-son couple they became really
a great team and for Tim it was just a a
perfect match
yeah rotating your ring around I believe
it’s right in there but it’s going to be
rain Rapids most dangerous tornado
you’re gonna have because you can’t see
shake these reports it’s a gigantic
tornado at least a mile wide we were
seriously concerned we were on the air
well ahead of time even for the watch
was issued saying look there’s going to
be tornadoes in Central Oklahoma make
your plans now do it now
who would have expected that a tornado
to do three things at once widen out and
turn and accelerate when they came back
says two point six miles wide I think it
was surprised most everyone
tim was actually a pretty laid-back guy
most of the time very easygoing
but when we were out in the field there
was an intensity then there has to be
right there leading storm edge there is
now severe warned he wanted to
contribute to the tornado science and it
just kept him going he was continually
trying to improve his and city
measurements go back down the road a
little bit
tornadoes move unpredictably and you
don’t know exactly where they’re going
to go the closer you can get to the
tornado before you deploy your
instrument obviously the better chance
you have of success and that’s what he
did and he was very good at it he also
put video cameras inside and so you
could actually see this fantastic video
the inside of a tornado so I knew there
was something special about him
if you were to say which is the safest
chaser that you know I would say Tim
Samaras is the safest chaser I saw him
out there and he knew when to back off
so the fact that this happened on May
31st where he was caught in the path is
surreal to me this is the person that I
would last expect to be caught in the
tornado one of our teammates Matt Grich
called us saying that he was seeing
rumors flying around that Tim Karl and
Paul had been killed and then he
actually had gotten some kind of message
from Tim son Matt telling him that they
had been killed in the El Reno tornado
this thing is unique it is meaning it’s
rotating and it looks like to me it’s
just a matter of time because the
rotation is getting stronger and
stronger gary policies savour disease
that were themselves as big as an
ordinary tornado and they were wrapping
around like a merry-go-round around a
common center and if you’re watching
these tornadoes right here if one forms
your left you’re history
you can’t get away from it when a
tornado gets rain-wrapped you just see
rain curtains and usually the tornadoes
in that rain somewhere but the El Reno
tornado the whole area of rain was the
tornado you might be standing there not
knowing that you’re very very close to a
tornado you might not have enough time
to get away once that storm forms it
becomes very obvious very quickly that’s
going to be a major supercell and that’s
when it it ceases to be fun it’s before
it is fun because you’re mother nature
you just wrestle all over the place but
once the storm starts going up for me
it’s not fun it’s not exciting to me
because I know people are going to die
because not everyone gets the message
and sometimes tornadoes didn’t expected
things I was absolutely shocked
absolutely and actually I can’t believe
it until now I mean I always think it
can’t be true it must be I don’t know
what about stone
I mean I could I really couldn’t
understand life is not like before
anymore and all that fun times I mean
it’s like storm-chasing for me
completely changed completely
by the time I’m old and retired I’m
hoping to contribute enough that that
that people can take this piece and run
with it than others
younger people such as the college
students that are participating on this
can take off and then finish out the
mission when I’m long gone
