Reed Timmer movie Aug 23.

I don't deny that he doesn't get great video, but the caviler and reckless attitude I have issues.  Many get the idea that storm chasing is easy and anyone can do it, which is not true, at least from a safety and responsible POV.  This is a skewed presentation of how it really is.

The trailer is about as cliche and formulaic as you can get. And what does jogging in slow motion have to do w/ storm chasing? Talk about an intro that has been done 1000x over. That's the best they could do for an intro?

And as if storm chasing has not been dramatized and romanticized enough already?  I fear the roads next spring.  We keep thinking, "how can it get worse?" and then witness another year. :angry:

And if this movie does very well?  You can expect a flood of more wx movies, some downright egregious, as everyone tries to cash in on the renewed fad/novelty.  Recall what we saw after "Twister" in 1996? We got "Night of the Twisters" and "Tornado," and it seemed every popular show on TV at the time had to insert a tornado into the plot!

AFD was making it seem like subsidence would make it dry... which would suck.  I want storms with my high heat

Not sold on widespread 100s. It's several days out, some models like the Euro have a known mid range heat bias, and it's rare to get an airmass that supports many 100+ degree air temperatures readings. We probably won't know until next Tuesday if we're going to have a legit heat wave on our hands, or if this is just going to be a few hot days.
