I really hope this is not true... but there's a ton of buzz going around the web right now that Tim Samaras and his team were killed in the El Reno tornado yesterday. They were one of the three teams featured on Storm Chasers... alongside Reed Timmer and the TIV group that got that amazing footage last week.
What's sad is they were the group that was always super cautious. They were scientists trying to get data, not trying to drive into a tornado or get the most insane video. They would try and get out in front and put probes down, but still, they didn't take near the risks the other teams did. Hopefully this isn't true, but there are a lot of storm chasers on Twitter acting as if they know. But we know how that goes.
