We look back eight years ago at the El Reno tornado that changed how storms are researched, chased, and analyzed. The storm claimed the lives of three very well chasers, men who had made their careers out of keeping others safe. The El Reno tornado was a record setting storm in terms of wind speeds, width, and structure. The 2021 Atlantic Hurricane season has started and all is quiet (for now) while TS Blanca is churning away in the Eastern Pacific.
