Unconfirmed: Tim Samaras, son Paul Samaras, and Carl Young Killed in El Reno Tornado on May 31st 2013





Tim Samaras

Carl Young




Facebook and twitter has started to light up tonight that Tim Samaras, his son Paul Samaras, and Carl Young all veteran storm chasers apart of Twistex were killed in Friday's tornado in Oklahoma. This tornado was a confirmed EF3 tornado near El Reno. Tim Samaras was a great friend, a great man, one of the nicest guys you could have met. He was a very brilliant man, as well as the people who worked for him. He always had a genius idea to research weather and actually put it to practical use. He was an amazing electrical engineer with ground breaking projects that blew the storm chasing and scientific communities away at the same time. He was seriously a legend and so many are heart broken tonight.


Spotter Network is already lighting up tonight, if you are a storm chaser help keep this alive in memory of this great guy. We are very sad that this happened to one of the best people on the planet doing this. Thoughts and prayers are with their families. Please be VERY sensitive on social networking, it is the least you can do.
