I might get some hate for this comment but I'm really not surprised a chaser died. I'm more surprised there weren't more chaser deaths for that tornado, in fact. Everyone was FAR too close to it and we've been getting exponentially more close calls the past few years from chasers being, frankly, really stupid. I still feel incredibly bad but it doesn't come as that much of a shock to me.

I'll agree. Horrible, horrible news but I can't say I'm surprised.

Again, I would not go as far as to mentioning an EF-number nowadays.
also again.... the weather community has kind of become toxic in a way, yes there's them jerks that just want a EF5 to happen and want destruction yes i agree that's kind of messed up .... but we also have the opposite, the whole (how dare you question NWS rating) crowed, your like not allowed to speculate about a EF rating apparently and also treat like the NWS can do no wrong (villonia and metador...) however i find this bad for science we cant get accurate if we can not debate and challenge each other, its sad to see everyone be so scared to call anything a EF4-EF5.

We have a thread for the greenfield tornado now.

This thread is getting to muddied with these discussions of it. The NWS has issued a tornado watch for central TX.
