Just got of a Zoom call with KSNT about the reckless behavior of most of the storm chasers from May 18. Hopefully we can find a resolution to the madness. Even legitimate storm spotters were angry about some of their actions and crowding of the roadway.
Thank you,

I have received countless messages from all over the state about this Facebook post. I want to clarify that the actual radio traffic included that ”I punched the mirror of a weather spotter that almost hit me” the firemen were trying to do traffic control and these “trained weather spotter’s” were disobeying any and all traffic laws. Keep in mind there were hundreds of them and a handful of officers and deputies out. I personally was passed going through town by one but had a lot going on at the time. This is a prime example of not the whole story was told. Anyone that was out and about on May 18th were in more danger of getting killed by a “trained storm spotter” than the storm itself. Thank you for your time.
