2. Those of us who live in Oklahoma and other states in Tornado Alley

appreciate the people who study these storms, chase and report on them to give us sufficient warning. The death toll in these storms would have been much higher without all of you. Mr. Samaras was one of many who put their lives on the line during storm season to help save lives.

That El Reno storm was a monster, we were watching it from our safe place on campus, I've never seen one move like that one did. I'm not a meteorologist but you tend to have more knowledge than most when you live here. Never knew what a "dry line" was until we moved here. I am more than grateful for all of the people at NWS, NOAA and the other professionals who work on our behalf.

RIP Mr. Samaras.
