- Reed and the Dominator team journey north to Kansas. They meet Tim Samaras, Paul Samaras and Carl Young from team Twistex during the storm chase before coming face-to-face with a mile-wide wedge tornado. The intense rain from the storm turns the roads to mud and traps the Dominator in the tornado's path. Features the May 27, 2013 tornado east of Cora, KS.
Season Two, Episode Nine of the award-winning series Tornado Chasers, Remastered in 4K Ultra High Definition video.
Tim Samaras and crew had no idea they only had 4 days left on this earth. Should be a lesson to all of us to do what we love and live every day like it's the last because we never know.
true
@M Strafford yeah they are
@M Strafford they were the first three storm chasers to be killed by a tornado and that tornado that killed them also killed an amateur storm chasers. The tornado was the 2013 El Reno tornado which is the widest tornado on record
@M Strafford not reed timmer it’s the twistex team we’re talking about
@M Strafford welcome
Tim Samaras was so good that Reed Timmer, a PHD in Meteorology, asked him what he would do. Legend!
Parker Koppes
tim had such instinct and wealth of knowledge in tornados. he was one of the best, if not the best chaser there ever was
Pizza Sub no news 9 ok tracker are the BEST
Bruh your English makes you sound like a 9 year old
Ace21 what is wrong about it? A 9 year old wouldn’t use commas or periods.
@@slopcrusher3482 i was talking about Asap Playz, but my phone doesn't tag the, when i reply
Holy crap..
Seeing Tim is almost emotional for me.
Rest In Peace legend!😭
I cried when i heard about this heartbreaking
ATenChinThor rip
Did reed timmer die?
Garret Rumbo no. Tim Samaras and his son and another chaser that was with them did.
They were the Twistex crew
Reed is still alive
same
Watching Reed and the boys yell at storms and eat vinegar chips will never grow old.
Especially when "Mister Lightning hater" is with them 😂
Oh, sameeeee, I have been running out of stuff to watch and decided to watch these guys
Dude he is so cool with the crap he does
Omg lol I was just thinking abt going and getting them. Also did Reed die?
@@IsopRBLX No. Why would you ask that? He has been very active on the channel and twitter.
@1:28 I love how Gizmo did his best impression of a tornado in an attempt to lure Reed into staying home.
Really sad to see Tim and Carl on some of their last days. Also really cool to see them doing exactly what they loved, though
They will always be remembered
Jops I I I I didn’t know they passed omg
Yep and seeing them in the same vehicle that they lost their life in. So sad. Just a few days later after this chase.
freespeachrulez that’s such a shame rip how did they die just out of curiosity?
@@callumsimpson954 the El Reno tornado.
Man..seeing tim, carl and Reed together for one of the last times really pulls at the heart strings 😭

More like THE last time

Paul Samaras And Carl Young Are Part Of TWISTEX But Richard Henderson Wasn’t In This Episode
@@mitchelljohnleslie1696 He was still a chaser killed by the tornado, and it seems literally nobody cares about or remembers that

I love it when Reed loses his mind.
Oh my God same! It's funny and it shows that he loves what he does! He's so passionate about storm chasing
@@Gorysstories "DRIIIIIIIIIIIVE !!!!!!!!!!"
One word is worth a thousand sometimes :')
Him screaming “EAST GOOOO EAST GOOOOOOO!!!!” Like this is the best thing I’ve ever come across
Seeing Tim and Carl on their last couple days gives me chills. Such great people. He is watching over us. God Bless and rest easy, see you on another sunny day
Amen
Damn, seeing that Cobalt with Tim... Rough man RIP.
R.I.P TIM SAMARAS AND TEAM TWISTX I MISS HIM SO MUCH NICE TO HEAR HIS VOICE AFTER YEARS AND SEEING HIM IN ACTION IN THIS VIDEO 😐😔
Hey Reed, you are awesome for archiving this show on youtube for generations of stormchasers to come. Double thumbs up.
Your right 😉
It breaks my heart seeing Tim and his team. I've been a chaser 22 years and Tim was one of the reasons why i got into storm chasing.
We miss you.
Love ur pfp
:(
ur a conservative nvm
bsdverse a completely ridiculous comment.
@@yama667 Idiot.
So much emotion seeing the Twistex team in this episode. I love the passion they shared.
Recently had to go to Oklahoma on emergency. Took my family to see the Memorial on Reuter Rd. It was very muddy and very wet. I was in my F150 in 4x4. I was telling my wife about how they were in a Chevy cobalt. We were all over the road doing a measly 25-30. I can’t even begin to imagine what they were experiencing going 50-60mph+
I saw a picture of the cobalt. It was wrapped around a pole of some kind. A truly horrific scene.
@@mary4011 yeh I wish I wouldn't have looked up the wreckage. The car wasn't even recognizable. It was essentially pancaked. Absolutely horrible.
Reed = The reason they invented Automatic Volume Leveling on TV's... He's an awesome chaser + good guy. Keep it up man.
Anyone else watching in 2020? Literally have no idea how I stumbled upon this series but I just got done watching the one from Moore
Same, and I'm not upset about it either
Yeah same
The weather channel always brings interesting shows. I grew up in Iowa lived in NE, KS and TX working and this is ALL REAL fyi.
U need to see s1
Me! I'm Brazilian and I'm crazy about tornadoes since 2007, when I started watching them. This gets me so nostalgic!
Really sad seeing Tim and Carl! It’s such a shame they lost their lives a few days after this episode. But they died doing something they loved and that El Reno tornado was insane. Such gentleman. Good episode though!
I’m glad that Reed had a chance to speak to Tim and Carl and have a kind exchange before what happened in El Reno.
Gosh. And that's the car Tim and crew died chasing in. Sad.
We will miss him
We will miss them
Did Reed die ???
@@xxhuliii4976 Reed? Not that I've heard of. Tim Samaras, his son, and their partner did. In the El Reno 2013 tornado.
@@xxhuliii4976 nope. still very much alive.
two thing:
1. Gizmo was PISSED Reed left her behind.
2. It's never easy knowing Joel is gone for good, but seeing the Twistex team again makes me even worse for the wear emotionally
I knew one of Joel's cousins. His death caused a shitstorm. She's still upset about it. I also met his grandmother. Nice lady.
Wow Tim Samaras few days before he and his team left us.
Rip tim
Dude, when Tim and the rest of the TWISTEX team walked up, I about cried. I miss them so much... 😔
@Reed: Money can't really do any kind of *JUSTICE* for what you have done by trying to *DEDICATE* your work to *Carl, Paul, and Tim* in this video. You have kept their *LEGACY ALIVE* and for that, you have a huge *THANK YOU* for me. God bless you man!!! ~ JonseyG 👲💖
The genuine love and appreciation that Reed has for other great people in the field is a joy to see. RIP Tim, Carl and Paul.
Oh man! Got chills when I saw Tim’s car. RIP legends Tim, Paul & Carl.
icon stfu 😐😐
@icon dude stfu, not real smart living in a state where you’d lose your house everyday by tornadoes. So you better be lucky that people like Tim, Paul, Carl, and even Richardson did actually chase storms like tornadoes for data to save ungrateful people like you. Otherwise, you can perish within an category 4 hurricane.
@@LIAA23423 learn English bum
@icon I know this is two years ago but you’re an insensitive prick bro. They were never intending to get as close as they did, they weren’t chasing to get as close as they did, they were dropping probes and gtfo. A subvortex landed right near them with EF5 winds. They didn’t stand a chance even if they were in an armored car it would have gotten sucked up. Id like to see you race a tornado with 200 mph+ winds. What a pos you are dude.
Man there they are Tim, Paul, and Carl. It's heartbreaking. When I first saw them I choked. You just never know.
I just got so sick to my stomach with tears in my eyes knowing this is the last few days of Tim, Paul and Carl. Such a legend! I remember when he first started posting online his chases and photos. I was so enthralled with meteorology and he made it interesting and fun to learn.
Thank you for bringing back these episodes. They're very sad though as we remember Joel, Tim, Carl and Paul in their element.
Wow seeing Tim and Carl just out and about storm chasing is just so extremely sad! These guys were so loved by the chaser community and their fan base. Horrible tragedy
@ZionHillCalling There are no PHDs for surviving great white sharks. These people did this for a living, they knew everything there was to know about what they were doing, and a storm took them by suprise.
And yes I know these people didn't have PHD'S but they did have plentiful training and worked with the NWS
JoAnn Hempen - stfu no idea
@ZionHillCalling really, have some respect for twistex they were researching lightning strikes when they were caught off guard by that wedge if they were chasing they would be using their proper tools
@@Night_Star6248 what did they say? They deleted their comment. Must have been stupid.
@@trumptrucka something very disturbing in my eyes if I put down a have some respect comment down
El Reno was a monster tornado there's no other way to describe it but that shot of Tim Samaras standing next to Reed and the dominator gives me chills every time cause if Tim had of had a vehicle like the dominator instead of the car they had he'd probably be alive today
Seeing this scene with Tim and Carl, it reminds of a scene in a season 3 episode of Storm Chasers. The one where Reed and his crew got their very first intercept near Lincoln, Nebraska but the tornadoes winds blew out their windows. Tim and Carl and their colleague drove up to them afterwards to make sure they were okay. Full respect ✊
The way Tim Samaras was backlit was eerily ethereal.
Damn, rest in peace Tim, Carl, and Paul, they passed in the El Reno, OK tornado that occurred four days after this on May 31st, 2013. God bless their families.
You take your life in your hands doing this stuff
So.......are we going to really ignore how cute that puppy is at the beginning?
Tim is a great guy got interested in tornado because of him. Asked him questions in FB but took the time to answer me. I was still living in NY when I spoke to him. Didn't realize that I would end up buying a house in tornado alley Lubbock Texas.
What's your address?
@@muckrak3r Ah why? And if you must know, I live by the VA!
@@seekingtruthnwisdom5552 I was being silly lol
@@muckrak3r 😏lol...😁
Oh my goodness. Seeing Tim, Paul and Carl in this episode is really heart wrenching... These were there last days
RIP Tim, Carl and Paul
these guys were the reason I wanted to pursue storm chasing despite being in a country that rarely gets tornadoes, we miss you Team TWISTEX
R.I.P tim and carl. They were really brave men, and its sad they got stuck in mud chasing a tornado. The tornado changed path and was going there direction. They were trying there hardest to get unstuck. You guys will always be remembered.
Is it just me or was that tornado's development eerily similar to the infamous one they'd encounter four days later?
Not just you.
Definitely. Anti climatic at first, then sudden and violent
You know that there is a tornado any minute when somebody says, "The roads are drier the dry".
I grew up watching you guys, just stumbled on your stuff again 10 years later. Thank you for all the lessons and memories you've given me. Much love. Rip Tim and the TWISTEX team. Broke my heart when that happened.
Reed just casually screaming “EAST EAST GO NORTH” and he calls them violent but like did you expect the tornado to be like “Aight boi’s I feel like being nice today” like my dude
you can actually pinpoint the second when lots of people's hearts broke!
5:12
edit: and 20:53
Stranded is right. We’re stranded between humor and grief when we watch Reed’s last videos before the Twistex team died. Really brings up the emotions.
Been watching reed since I was a kid maybe 8 or 9 on discovery channel I'm 21 now and still watching him
Same, im nearly 17 now
That was eerie seeing Tim, Paul and Carl. If they only knew.
RIP HEARTBREAKING
Sad thing of this is Tim, Paul, and Carl lost their lives four days later in the El Reno tornado. Nice to see them enjoying chasing them in the last few days they were alive. RIP Twistex. Thanks for sharing this Reed. I have seen another storm chaser(I cant remember who)has them in a video inside a McDonalds a couple days before they were killed.
Every year on May 27th I watch this tornado chasers episode. Emotional to see Reed meet Tim, Paul, and Carl for the last time 4 days before they lost their lives.
Ugh this is probably the last time Reed saw Tim and Carl :(
It’s nice to see how Reed chilled out some in later years,
Was watching reruns of his first season in Discovery’s Storm Chasers, and I was struck by how:..pardon my saying so, but how cocky he seemed back then.
I guess wisdom really does come with time & experience
Wow. Just four days before we lost the TwistX team. Gave me chills to see.
Rest In Peace, Tim, Paul, colleague Carl and TVNWeather driver Joel Taylor, we will miss you forever...😭
Rest In Peace Tim Samaras, Paul Samaras, Carl Young & Joel Taylor
🙏🏻
RIP Tim...Carl and their team...
And.. It was 4 days before team Twistex's death..
My heart sunk a little when Tim and Carl came on screen. RIP Legends! :'(
RIP JOEL TAYLOR AND TWISTEX
What happened to Joel ?
He overdosed on a cruise ship sadly last year
Talitha Smith >
17:10 to 19:25 is the funniest thing ever lmao! Reed is the best! 😂
lol for real that was funny as fuck.. but also right after that when Reed is talking about the coyotes.. that was funny as hell too.. the way he was acting and looking.. that was funny to me
The reason I say that is because a tornado chasing day would be the craziest day ever for me.. I wouldn't be talking about anything else.. and here Reed is talking about coyotes and clearly showing his excitement for that.. and that's all because tornado chasing is so normal for him lolol..
11:28
Not gonna lie 11:23 scared the shit out of me
Party poster 555 Eaaaaaast !!!! eaaaastttt!!!!!😂
5:53 this is Tim alive days before he was killed by the killer tornado el Reno
Lol "We're about to intercept on foot!"
All these chases bring back a lot of memories.
Rest in peace Tim Paul & Carl :(
and Richard
For some morbid reason I’ve always loved these vids, I’m am especially saddened over Joel Taylor’s passing.
In loving memory of: Tim Samaras, Paul Samaras and Carl Young. R.I.P. :'(
I'm stranded at a Walmart with a flat waiting for my check tomorrow so I can fix my car so it's been a marathon of storm chasers
Rest in peace Tim Samaras
watching this knowing what happened a few days later really breaks my heart. rest in peace to tim, paul, and carl. they seemed like really cool guys
Wow. Little did Reed know that that would be the very last time he ever saw Team Twistex alive.
So your telling me these legends only got 5,600 likes but over 400,000 views 😱🤦🏾♂️
Shows how unpredictable tornados and weather will always be. Tim Samaras and crew were some of the absolutely SMARTEST and SAFE chasers out there. That Tornado tripled in size in a minute flat. So scary
Rest in peace Tim and Carl.
I took an online animation class with Paul back in 2007 or 2008. We kept in touch and talked often over facebook. Never missing a message to each other on our birthdays. I was absolutely SHOCKED when I learned what had happened. I honestly had no idea who his Dad was, what he did, or that Paul was involved in this stuff. I only knew Paul as a "classmate". May they rest in peace.
Seeing these we lost is just as sad as it was the day it happened. RIP. I miss them and I miss joel too..
TRULY AMAZING FOOTAGE, You could touch that forming Tornado, Great to see Tim & the gang again, Thanks @Reed #KeepDominating
My heart literally aches anytime I see tim and Carl
Tim and Carl and the other storm chasing casualties, thank you for your work and helping us further our understanding of storm cells and how to improve our warning time.
I'm in the UK and love these videos. Such a tragic loss of Tim and crew. Reed sure takes some risks.
To do this one day is on my bucket list or in my head anyway. I am disabled so wouldn't be easy.
I remember seeing one video by an English girl nicknamed the butterfly because she had a severe skin problem
Eerie seeing Twistex days before their death in the car it happened in and knowing what the car looked like afterward. RIP Tim, Carl and Paul.
So eerie knowing Tim, his son, and Carl die in that white car in 4 days time from the Reno tornado. Rip team Twistex.
I forgot Tim, Paul and Carl (Team Twistex) was in this video. Can't believe it's going to be 6years in 5 more days that Team Twistex passed away. What's crazy is that there hasn't been a tornado as big as El Reno since 2013. Rest in peace Tim, Paul and Carl.
I miss Tim, he seemed really nice
When Tim and Carl ran up it teared me up! They were good men, pleasant men and that goes for Paul to! Rip Tim, Paul and Carl
Who the fk chases tornadoes in a midget Chevrolet Cobalt? Play stupid games and win stupid prizes. There's a thin line between bravery and stupidity
@@compactg2918 I know this is half a year ago but you’re an insensitive prick bro. They were never intending to get as close as they did, they weren’t chasing to get as close as they did, they were dropping probes and gtfo. A subvortex landed right near them with EF5 winds.

@@compactg2918first off you really don't understand how that tornado caught everyone off guard and it wrapped around to the south, which is usually a safe direction to go. If you look at Trip's GPS location of all the chasers that day you see they weren't even actively chasing the dang thing.
Two wheel drive suv..... perfect choice for chasing tornadoes in the mud and gravel said NO one. Still. R.I.P twistex , absolute legends. Will not be forgotten
RIP Tim, Carl and Paul!!!!
DNGDave
Rest In Peace to the entire Twistex team. The entire weather community misses you guys.
R.I.P. Tim
R.I.P. TWISTEX 😪 rest well Tim
"We need to get in the car!!" you're the only one outside the car Reed! Lol
cgtigrad the camera man was probably out too lol
If he only knew that was the last time he would ever see Tim:((
He probably saw him after this storm
I like your dog 🐕
If the intro of this series get any longer, it can count as its own episode, god damn :P
Pretty sad and shocking to see Tim just appear during this chase. Knowing he was killed definitely sent a shiver down my spine. Even Reed was super excited to see him and shame his hand. Just goes to show how much he was respected and trusted innthe chasing community
R.I.P Team Twistex
Carl Young ,Tim Samaras and Paul Samaras.
At least you all passed away doing the thing you guys love. ❤️ ❤️❤️
Rest In Peace Tim and Carl and the other amazing soul
Tim and Carl Samaras may no longer be with us, but they were the most legendary storm chasing duo out there before Reed and crew came along. The Samaras brothers were killed in a tornado. Their car got flung and they didn’t survive. R.I.P., fellas.
I had been watching this show for a few years, and the TiV and this day hit me like a truck. I might live in Canada, but this hit me.
Same
i’m heartbroken knowing that tim and carl were enjoying their last days on earth without knowing that four days later they were gonna lose their lives in one of the most powerful tornadoes in history.
we miss you guys
im so sad because of the death of Tim and Carl. They got me into learning about these monster tornados. RIP😭😭😭😭
