“Veteran Storm Chaser Among Those Killed In Oklahoma Twister”

You know if you access Zoomradar they track these chasers, there was comments on the youtube live chat that they could actually see a collision course coming between these chasers.
Some smart people should think about some kind of proximity warning alarm other than cb or ham radio, to inform others that other chasers are close by, this shouldn’t be a game like from the movie Twister.
What if it had been a panicked mother in a van full of kids fleeing the area or going to pick them up?
Of course its for science, and safety to pinpoint a twister.
But listen to many of the comments of the weather forecasters, they get all excited and wound up when they get these live feeds. I myself would love being a chaser, i think its thrilling, i get permission to drive fast with a high tech vehicle, i get to be in the spotlight if i catch one, people go ooh and awe,its on tv and youtube!
Its like being a matador!
If its so bad then just build more doppler radar stations.
