It's Tornado season again....

For those like me that are weather freaks and storm chasers, it's tornado time again in the US.
Below is a link to storm chasers with live feeds. There are no tornado warnings current, but there are a couple of severe thunderstorm warnings(orange area's)
I used this site last year to keep track of what was happening. For some reason tho I cant get the live feeds this year, no idea why, but it's supposed to work by clicking on the little cars

Simon I check Tornadovideos regularly from when i used to watch storm chasers on discovery channel and I've never seen so many chasers out at once!
Surprisingly I can't see Reed Timmer streaming.

Hi Paula, are you able to see the live feeds?

Except for all the yelling and screaming and arguments, Storm Chasers is a great show, tho the last couple of seasons haven't been as good as the first few. It just sucks waiting 'till August or whenever it is for the new season to air

Damn, don't understand why it won't work for me. Tried three browsers already. Worked fine last year.
I might have to try updating Flash or something.

Not at all surprised it has been cancelled. Last year's season was poor, especially considering it was such a huge year for twisters!

Don't know where that information came from but Reed is alive.
There was a storm chaser killed a couple of months ago but it wasnt Reed Timmer.

Yes, sorry, I've got the wrong person - which is why I edited the post but obviously not fast enough before your reply. There was a well known storm chaser killed recently but I can't find the post on it to check who it was.
Ah- finally found the name: Andy Gabrielson.
