Never heard of these guys until they were mentioned on here. Looks like they are chasing today

Val and Amy have only been chasing for 30+ years, lol.

Yeah. Val is mentioned as chasing for KWTV as early as 1994 (when I was 8) in Gary England's book Weathering the Storm: Tornadoes, Television and Turmoil. I used to respect him until I heard about how he drives.

I did notice even in his famous 5/3/99 chase video (where he sets the world record for the word Gary being said in 5 minutes) he was all over the place driving wise.

The little cell south of Shattuck might have the best chance so far.

The cell is looking spicy so far.

Val is one of the most controversial chasers I can think of; almost ran over a group of chasers not too long ago and almost died in the El Reno tornado. I personally stick with the “YouTube” storm chasers (Copic, McKinney, Timmer); I couldn’t fathom watching a dumb storm chaser die on-stream.

Higgins storm now up to 50,000 feet.

Yea.... He almost smoked a couple cops as far back as May 3rd, 99 when they bothered to slow down in front of him...

While I don’t follow the chaser community, I’ve never heard the controversy regarding Val. In fact, he has always been held in a high status with those I’ve spoken with.

Val must be from Atlanta though if he drives so bad.

His driving’s really the issue; to be fair El Reno caught a ton of experienced people off guard. Besides maybe Timmer running red lights and whatever the heck he feels inclined to do, I rarely hear of other chasers nearly running each other over.

What’s this from? Is it WeatherWise?

RadarOmega, I think I have storm spotter location history on. You know an event might be big when there’s hundreds of green dots that end up making a big storm chaser blob around a certain area.

Storm south of Higgins. Looks good on echo tops. But on reflectivity, meh.

What is the context behind this, if there is any? Lol
