Glad to hear everyone is okay!

I live here in San Angelo Texas, family and friends where you are filming. A little bit of hail and a ton of wind. Blew all our flag pole down. Fortunately the flag landed in the bushes and we received it.

Wow! Excellent chase video! Very strange appearing vortex: as it began to go to ground it looked “sectional”. Thank you for posting, stay safe and catch many!

Awwww MotherNature trying to play freeze tag again? Good ol Texas weather, us Texans are use to this.

I had to laugh when you mentioned the spider 🕷️ I have almost wrecked a few times from those critters. I'm terrified of them! Love watching my favorite 3 chasers. You, Vince,and Brandon. Never stop chasing!!!

[@Lirin1122]

Great job! The lightning at the end is freaking amazing!!

[@coreygerkenwx]

Appreciate it!

Watching that go up and down reminded me of living on 16th St, on Red Mountain, right under the Vulcan, looking out over Birmingham, points West, North & East, sitting on my front porch, watching funnels pop down and up…like some weird dance in the skies. On another note…I don’t miss Harvest or Birmingham…losing our home in Harvest was enough. Unfortunately, the dang things seem to follow me..🤷🏼‍♀️😂

Just watched the replay and give all you guys a hero recognition. I am so grateful for what you do and the people's lives you save before and after the hit. How on earth do you come down from that adrenalin rush? And any other chemicals released within? I wasn't there and just watched the video. You guys need to take a breath, get dry and warm and relax! Thank you!💪🏼

so ground spout... Same as dust devil?

[@coreygerkenwx]

Not exactly. A landspout is still connected to the circulation in the storm, just not connected to the updraft like a tornado is. A dust devil is just a ground circulation that can spin up at any time, including sunny days. Usually harmless

Me: ITS A TORNADO 😱😭 Texans: im disappointed in you, mother nature. Do better 😒💅 Mother nature: I HATE YOU

[@joylightin-AlKimmy]

I respect what you do but I chew off all my fingernails. Every time I watch your tornado chasing it scares me to death. Please be careful my friend. We don't want you to be hurt
