Random but... I cannot tell you how grateful I am for Reed Timmer, storm chasing legend.
Here is why:
- the guy legitimized storm chasing and created a brand new field of meteorology (extreme meteorology, cool AF right)
- weather was my first special interest EVER, and his storm chasing show from the 2000s GOT ME HOOKED
- the guy is clearly neurodivergent and stims a LOT on his show Storm Rising on Disney+ (My husband has a hard time watching with me because Reed gets all excited and claps and he's loud and then I do it and it's a thing)
- he makes himself accessible to fellow weather nerds/fans. he does livestreams for almost every big storm and I've gotten to discuss weather with him on multiple occasions
- he created a bomb ass storm chasing app (RadarOmega) that is the only tool I need to chase, amazing
- I just love him he's my idol, he's crazy, and I want him to be my best friend ok that is all.
