This drone video and the Andover, Kansas tornado drone video are going to greatly advance Leigh Orf's supercomputer research into tornado-producing thunderstorms. Both tornadoes have such great contrast at times that aspects of how a tornado forms and continues to "work" can be picked up on frame-by-frame.
The use of drones has not only changed storm chasing, but I believe the footage that is gathered can lead to tangible understanding of what has only been conceptualized and theorized up to this point. Orf's work on the supercomputer has picked up on a lot of what is seen in these videos, particularly as he renders the storm he's working with (the 2011 El Reno-Piedmont EF5) in higher resolutions. I do believe it will eventually lead to a much better understanding of the "how" of tornadoes and tornado-producing storms.

Notice how very little engagement there is on Chicago Midwest Storm Chaser's posts? He's earned that. While what he's showing today is legit, I'd be careful with following him. He may be one of the most hated people in storm chasing and on WxXwitter.
What did/does he do?
ETA: nvm I now see you answered somebody else

You literally can't get much better than the forecast for this one.

Heavy winds and hail right now. So much rain I can’t see more than a few feet out the back door.

Not many severe thunderstorm warnings that list "Frognot" as an "other location" affected by the storm
We tried to steal the Frognot town sign in h.s. It was bolted multiple times to the sign pole and wasn't going anywhere.

the bottom of the storm skimmed by the family farm on the way out of Collin County

Might be some hail near The Colony based on that radar.

We understand there is a lot of chatter about ratings for various reasons.
Please understand that as damage severity (and by virtue, tor rating) increases, extreme care is taken to ensure assessments are accurate and thorough.
They're the first office I've seen actually address what they knew would be the fallout if that tornado earns an EF3 rating.

Those storms are producing an outflow boundary that maybe halts things for a minute like last week

They in a tizzy over that car lift with the bolts pulled up?
I have been out for a while so I have not seen any updates

Apparently one of the deaths in Iowa yesterday was a storm chaser. Sad but not surprising since there are so many amateurs chasers out there.

I always like being outside when an outflow boundary comes over.
