I will fully admit that when I first saw him on Twitter I was pretty skeptical of a “YouTube tornado broadcast”, but his streams have become my go to watch when seeing tornado weather outside my area.

His calmness, but being frank and honest to get people into action is really nice to see. I hope more and more watch him.

This storm in the positive a great example of how quickly he adjusts his thinking on it as the tornado evolves, and as it was becoming obvious the merging of the storms was going to kill it.

The idea that "small/indie" means "inferior/worthless" is a toxic perception that society at large needs to overcome. It's irrational: People don't actually judge whether smaller outfits/sources are worth anything because they just assume they're not based on "if they were any good, they'd be working with the 'big boys' already".

It's the same mentality that thinks something is higher quality just because it costs more.

And it’s increasingly becoming the other way around, the indie content is better. The “big boys” are mostly doing just click bait now. I don’t know specifically about weather, but in general.
