Hey @RiskeChris , you took my Trousdale image, cropped out my watermark, and used it on this video which contains ads, which means you're making $$$ off my work which you stole. Take it down. I don't play that shit.

Driving into ditches. Sifting through fresh damage. Getting hit by tornadoes. Man, all we did was sit in a parking lot for three hours, eat a garbage lunch, and then go try to see a storm. It's like all these other people are chasing on a different planet.

Well, @RiskeChris has blocked me. That's pretty much all you need to know, to understand what type of person he is (if getting hit by a tornado hasn't already). Tried to be diplomatic. Now I'm gonna handle it the old-fashioned way.

Storm B with an expansive cirrus canopy. Once we realized the F5 wasn't going to stop, we dropped SW and picked up this cell. We observed 9 tornadoes over the next 90 minutes. This was the most prolific tornado producer of the May 3, 1999 event. #SupercellSunday

People can do whatever they choose, but if I'm ever so unfortunate to be standing in a damage path and I see a drone, I'm gonna take it out. There's only one reason for drone footage, and it's not because people need to see it.
