Large dusty tornado 4 miles north of Herrington, Kansas. Filmed at 8:07 pm. We observed power flashes in the town. #kswx #kansasing @NWSWichita @NWSTopeka @MetCrewChasers @nic_nairwx @Wx_DrakeBrooks pic.twitter.com/GGtTrPZLpj— Gavin Short (@GavinShortWX) April 30, 2022

...when their truck hydroplaned and stalled in the middle of the road...

That needs some explanation.

Hydroplaned, struck a barrier wall, became disabled crossways in the interstate.

Sounds like they were going too fast for conditions.

I’m shocked people driving towards a tornado died…

That said, very young RIP.

They took the risk. I feel bad but it’s not in like a school bus full of children were killed. Sometimes you die when you’re having the adventure of a lifetime.

Sad. But accidents happen. How many of us lost friends to accidents in high school and college? I would say all probably.

I've gone storm chasing in the past. I love extreme weather. If their is a tornado warning in my area, I was that guy who jumped into my car and headed to where the action is.

I've even chased rain/snow lines during New England northeasters and when the waves are whipping up along the coast, I like to stand by the seawall and watch them.

I don't do it much anymore, sign of old age I guess. But I knew the potential danger I was putting myself in. I just like extreme weather, what can I say?

It’s welll known that storm chaser types drive like maniacs and endanger people for their fun hobby. Almost no useful data comes from this activity. Sad, and hope the trucker is ok.

When you see it’s raining so hard that water is collecting on the roadway, you need to slow down to 40mph and put your flashers on. Premium tires can only help so much. It sounds like a foolish thing to send students chasing tornadoes.
