I think they’re nuts, but they provide a valuable service which I’m grateful for.
Scratch one storm chaser.
Nightmares.

I’m following this on FOX New Channel. Prayers going up for all of the Okies. Okie FRiends, please be safe!
Have to be crazy to do what they do...but very important info is given from them.
Prayers up!
