Well I disagree because I don’t think this guy isn’t smart based on his position and what he had to do in order to be who he is. I think he’s well informed of the dangers he puts himself in. He’s had friends that died doing the same thing so he’s experienced the dangers as well. I would say he’s brave and understands more than people think he does by judging him for putting him self in these situations. I think he understands the dangers of these storms and how deadly they can be so he risks his own life to understand more about them in order to warn people faster and to actually save people from these storms.
