Does anyone watch this show? WOW they get some footage 300 yards away from an F2. Crazy hail storms and cows flying around the twister.

Sean Casey whines way too much though. How can the Tiv2 still be in the shop when it was in the shop last season?

Reed Timmer is a bit annoying. How many times can a person say "Dominating"? But he sure has a knack for knowing where the twister will cross a road.

I've been watching it as well and the close proximity video is amazing.

I agree, that Sean is a whiner and I especially enjoyed watching him stuck in the ditch while the storm moved away. grin

The biggest problem I'm having with it, just like history channel did with Ice Road Truckers, is they're starting to get too dramatic.

Reed is constantly acting like he's drank 3 pitchers of coffee and chased them down with 4 Red Bulls.

I think the new one this week shows his long time partner wanting to quit because Reed is too overboard.

I liked last year with the Doplar people, it showed some of the science that goes into it.

This year is just a bunch of wired daredevils.

Where did the guy in the doppler truck from last season go? If he was smart he would have told that Sean to kiss his you know what a long time ago. Hey little buddy....I'm the meteorologist and you're the camera guy, shut up and listen to what I tell you instead of chasing your "gut" feelings and maybe you'll get some footage.

I think the producers figured there were more "dramatics" with Sean trying to run with 2 other guys in a pickup.

I haven't quite figured out what the 3rd pair of guys in the Black Chevy are in the show for, other than they can now have 3 different vehicles groupings chasing tornados, thereby getting more on the show.

When the dopplar team was running, then they only had 2 groups out, since Sean was basically tied to them. Even the Scout was still usually fairly close to Josh and the Dopplar.

Reed is a drama queen and Sean is a whiner.

I guess last nights episode answered a lot of the questions on where the doppler was/is. The next episode looks to be a good one.

Yup saw that the doppler is back along with a crew of 40 vechiles. Then Reed gets out fitted with his version.

I agree with the overbearing drama! I don't want to see John and Kate plus eight tornadoes. Just film the twisters.

That was funny watching Sean hit the ditch. Tiv2 is back so that's cool.

Why is Josh such an ar$e? That's the doppler dude.

He has a Phd. and a big grant from the government.

I agree.

Plus, he doesn't seem like a guy with much personality. He's a scientist that takes things very seriously, focused on "data". He's not into the drama of a tornado.

Sean talked about how he's treated a bit like a hanger-on, which, IMO, he is.

However, if he ever does get the whole video of being struck by a tornado, I'm sure Josh will soon become a very good buddy.

I can understand Josh's point of view too though. He's trying to coordinate 40 vehicles that are on the same page as him as far as trying to collect data, then you have a "cowboy" that you're supposed to get directly in the path of something that doesn't have a direct path.

I can understand where Josh could feel Sean is in his way.

I just hope I'm never in a place where I see all these vehicles stopped on the side of the road with the occupants standing there pointing into the sky.

Worse yet, you're driving by, and they're all heading to the nearest ditch to lay down. laugh

That is something those crazies don't do. They just stand there and start running towards the tornado after it goes by.
