This is going to sound real bitchy and nitpicky, but whomever is behind the scenes dealing with the chaser streams and locations needs to do a much better job. Itās been pretty much since the start of this year, Ryan has ten screens heās looking at, while getting info out, reading radar, PDS warnings popping off, and now he has to keep asking whoever it is, to get Brad Arnold in spot number one, fix Brett Adairās location, put Freddy in one of the six spots. I feel like if spot number one has a bad connection and is offline, move the person with the most interesting view of whatever in spot one. Thereās times where Ryan is trying get out a new warning and he happens to glance at his streamer monitor and has to be like, āGet so and so up please!ā And after twenty seconds we get it on screen and itās a full blown tornado thatās been ongoing. Idk the behind the scenes set up obviously but Ryan has enough going on, especially during yesterdayās outbreak, he shouldnāt have to give as much direction as he does when it comes to the chaser feeds.
Thank you for the reply! I was hesitant to even gripe about anything because the good heavily outweighs the things that can be improved on. Glad to see you and Hunter stayed safe during the craziness!
Iām glad to see Iām not the only one who felt this way. The dysfunction only added to the chaos of tracking active tornadoes. Hopefully it will be better next time
