now the storm may be forcing them to shut down the live shots due to dangerous conditions at the moment... or the signal can no longer get out from the live shot due to the conditions
I wonder if they clamped down because of those dudes chasing the tornado a few years back for them got all fricked up. I think a few died

Mike Bettes & his crew got caught in the May 31, 2013 El Reno, Okla. tornado
they all fortunately survived... though that particular tornado did take the life of 4 storm chasers
Kelley Williamson... a storm chaser TWC was working with after the station itself stopped going out on the chase... died in a car accident while chasing a storm and reporting for TWC... he was actually live streaming at the time of his fatal crash
ETA: the crash that killed Kelley Williamson also killed 2 other storm chasers... including Randy Yarnall who was also doing contract work for TWC
Williamson blew through a stop sign and caused the crash

Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 PM EDT Sat Jul 25 2020
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Hanna, located near the coast of south Texas. The National
Hurricane Center has issued the last advisory on the remnants of
Gonzalo, located over the southeastern Caribbean Sea.
1. A broad area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave located
several hundred miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands is
producing a large area of cloudiness and disorganized showers and
thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear conducive for
development, and a tropical depression is likely to form early next
week while the wave moves westward at around 15 mph across the
tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.

The car Tim Samaras and his son and partner were in still haunts me.

Tim Samaras and his crew was a big part of the tornado chase TV shows that got huge on Discovery in the late-2000s/early-2010s
it was a sad day when Tim and his crew lost their lives
their death was a huge wake-up call to the storm chasing community... the chasers realized they were starting to take too many unnecessary gambles and that there were starting to be way too many chasers on the road
fairly sure that wreck led to the demise of a lot of those shows that documented storm chasers b/c they realized they were working too well and too many amateur chasers were now on the roads in areas where the road networks aren't too good for chasing

I just now learned that the family of the 3rd person killed in this crash... a 25 year old storm spotter from Arizona employed by the NWS... actually sued TWC last year for $125M over the accident saying TWC knew Williamson drove recklessly (running stop signs, red lights, etc.) in order to get footage for the "Storm Wranglers" show on TWC

Unfortunately, it is getting crowded again. It may be even worse that it was then. People are starting to complain about it again.
With the El Reno tornado, more than one chaser got in trouble due to not knowing the road they were on, or not looking at the map close enough. As close as many were for that tornado, they ended up closer than they thought. I-40 going into El Reno takes a turn to the southeast. They were running parallel to the storm until the interstate took that "unexpected" turn. A couple of chasers said they thought it ran due East, and that turn put them too close.
That wasn't the case with Samaras, though. He and his crew were further south than anyone else, and the turn of the tornado ultimately got them.
A great video from inside one of the outer vertices of the El Reno tornado, if you haven't seen it.

I don't know how I feel about this one.
The good and the bad of it is that TWC and other outlets are using freelance chasers more and more now. That is a good thing. The bad is that alot of them are not fairly compensated for their work/video and pics. A whole lot of networks will wholesale rip off chasers. Hell, some of the middle men who are supposed to be brokering the chaser's content aren't much better.

and? Like I said there is no record of hurricane force winds other than those dreamed up by NHC.
Same happened with Barry. Look it doesn't make a rats behind difference of 1 mph to those affected by Barry but it does for the record books. NHC own discussions said that they didn't find that level of wind but bumped it up just because there should be some somewhere in the storm for Barry.
I'm into facts not drama queen crap

Hanna really organized well.

The eye basically cleared out right as it was making landfall. As other have said, it’s a good thing she didn’t have another day or two over the water.

Yep she shaped up nicely

Watching it being nothing but a blob of storms with little to no rotation a few days ago to this point was interesting. Every single storm is different, and you can learn something from all of them.
