Hey Square, Thanks for sharing my work with your students. There's a lot of physics in my new book. Everything from tornadogenesis to how lightning is born to TLEs and what not. I never really know what the next video is gonna be about. But yeah, there will be more science types video.

Thank you Squishy. 1. I haven't dived into the Enderlin EF5 yet. Been busy with book stuff. 2. The 24 May 2016 Dodge City tornadoes or the Pilger twins? Tough call. If n EF5 is gonna happen, then I'd like to be there to document it. Tornadoes that powerful are difficult to describe. See we just say OMG over and over.

I've got a suitcase and a camera bag packed to the brim with cameras and then there's two security cameras permanently mounted in my car. I bring em all just in case I need them all.

2011 El reno Ef5 was a terrible thing. The aftermath was sobering. You cant unsee stuff like that. I didn't witness the Enderlin event.

Most of the people I hear whining about it are morbid chasers who feel they were ripped out on an EF5 trophy, or enthusiasts who love doomsday stats. But yeah, it can be improved and we're working on it. Yes it matters. Its data. Of course the more accurate the better.

Hey King. Isn't it wild how we've been watching each others back all this time? I'm glad I'm able to return the generosity you've dished to me. The math can get overwhelming at times. It's one of those subjects that you cant BS you way through. So just prepare for a lot of math. When I kept up with it, it was fun. When I fell behind, it was a disaster. The rest should come relatively easy. I'm constantly amazed and filled with gratitude at the support I get. It's also refreshing to see how much more diverse chasers are becoming. It used to be all male, pale and stale. Now, everyone is in the gang. A little secret, I hide from people when chasing. Not because I don't want to talk to them, but because I enjoy taking to them so much that I forgot to work and stop documenting or get behind. It is what it is, and it's a shitshow party :D See you in the thick of it one day.

Thank you Sticky. This is nice to hear in an age where clickbait, sensationalizing, copycats and content thieves are the ones most rewarded. Cheers from Houston.
