ARGH! Not Reed Timmer. He's a douchebag and drives a red shoe.

I wanna be like Sean Casey when chasing storms. Plus, he chews. He must be cool. :thumbup:

Sean Casey is the fucking douchebag. Timmer is the shit collecting data. All casey wants to do is fucking film it in three d. What purpose is that for?? Casey is a fucking loser.

Timmer does a better job catching tornado's and getting data but as far as watching the show, he's a dick head. Casey is more about the movie, true.

If I could be one or the other, I'm going Sean Casey and his vehicle if I'm chasing tornado's.
The red shoe I don't trust. Plus like I mentioned, Timmer is a dick.

Reed Timmer's vehicle AKA "Red shoe"



Picture of Sean Casey's "tank" is in post #7. What one do you think is more safe?

Reed is an attention whore though. He's a completely different person once those cameras turn on. His data is good (and he is out there for the right reasons by and large), but he's fake as shit on TV, which rubs many the wrong way.

FWIW, Sean's IMAX was pretty good.

Most tornado "sightings" that get the news all worked up are wishful/scared thinking.

Pretty much any radar indicated tornado warning is a joke as well.

It's amazing the different excitement levels when there is a Tornado Warning in Ohio compared to down south. I was recently on vacation to Harlan Co. Ky and they had a tornado warning. I was watching the coverage on TV and the guy was so relaxed when covering it that he put me to sleep. Luckily the storm broke up before hitting the town we were in.

I was in an old school that was converted into a hotel. I figured if is was good enough for a fallout shelter in the 50's through the 70's, it could handle a F2 or F3...lol

Cleveland has the quickest trigger of them all. Many things they warn don't even get a warning once they cross into the Pittsburgh NWS area, and the intensity hadn't changed in most of the cases.
