This Is The Tornado That Killed The Storm Chasers

By -

Last Friday, storm chasers Tim Samaras, his son Paul Samaras and their colleague, Carl Young, were killed while trying to document this EF-6, 2.6 mile wide wedge tornado in Oklahoma. Including the storm chasers, 13 people were confirmed dead. See the second video below to learn about Tim's work as a scientist and a tornado researcher.



Video of the El Reno supercell and 2.6-mile wide EF-5 tornado in Oklahoma on May 31, 2013. The first portion of the video is sped up 16x. When the video switches to normal speed is the first real shot of the tornado as you can see the RFD slot wrapping around and the wedge come into view. This portion of the video is shot on 15th Street just east of Country Club Road.

We then bailed east and the rest of the video is from our second position just east of the 15th Street/Banner Rd intersection. At this point we were about 3 miles southeast of the tornado and you can hear it in the video.

      So, what you're saying is that Gimlin had two horses and Patterson had one?

    I don't feel sorry for people who kill themselves by needlessly risking their life to chase tornados.

      If it weren't for researchers like them "needlessly" risking their lives idiots like you would probably run toward a tornado looking for some magic wizard.

    Hey ass-wipe at 7:51 - those "people who kill themselves by needlessly risking their life to chase tornados [sic]" NOT ALL DO IT FOR A THRILL. These guys were trying to place sensors for better measurements and predictive ability.

    Hope your kin get sucked up in a vortex one day, your fucking moron.

Bigfoot injured by a forest fire was taken away and hidden by the authorities, not even Robert Lindsay can top this story

This story was circulating the internet way back in 2004, or maybe as far back as 1999. Back when everybody was on 56k dial-up modems and a "Facebook" was just a regular book with directory listing of names and headshots. This story was so disturbing and so shocking that nobody believed it at the time. It was the Robert Lindsay " Bear Hunter: Two Bigfoots Shot and DNA Samples Taken " story of the time. And like Robert's Bear Hunter story , this witness didn't have a name. The only thing known about the witness is that this person was a government employee, anonymous of course. The author of the story was a science teacher named Thom Powell who believe it really happened and that the whole story was an elaborate cover-up. Powell said the anonymous government employee alerted the BFRO about a 7.5 feet long/tall burn victim with "multiple burns on hands, feet, legs and body; some 2nd and 3rd degree burns". Sadly, there was no DNA samples taken from...
