Allow me to make a selfish request. Relax, it costs nothing. I'm asking any that are willing to go to my chase team YouTube channel and subscribe and to pass the word to others to do the same. We're trying hard to get up to 1,000 subscribers so we can allow ads for revenue and to be able to livestream without the use of a 3rd party app. Storm chasing is a rather expensive venture, especially with gas prices increasing, and right now it all comes 100% out of our own pockets. I would say an average chase costs in the neighborhood of $100 not counting the extra maintenance on vehicles plus equipment. For those of us where every dollar is important that can add up. I know right now we don't have a lot of videos uploaded to our channel but were trying to change that. Also why I'm asking for help here since it costs nothing. We do have a Patreon account for premium content but I'm not hawking it since I won't ask anybody to spend money.

Let’s go….

Just subscribed. Become the next Reed Timmer.

I may not get his porn stache. And thank you. We've gained 40 subscribers so far this morning. Puts us that much closer to our goal.

I do want to add this to avoid any hints of being misleading. All of our chase live streams are only broadcast to our premier Patreon account so just subscribing to our channel won't let you see it live. However, they are all uploaded to the general public page after the fact.

Already a subscriber. Where are you starting tomorrow? I think the SPC made their enhanced area so large because they are not certain where the jet support will be. I'm, sorry to drop it on this thread but I didn't want to start another thread yet

Done. Appreciate what you guys do. I rely on your severe weather forecasts more than those on tv.

I may be hanging close to Starkville. Just got to see where the discretes fire. This large enhanced area is prepping for a possible moderate risk upgrade.

I'm hoping for a bust but very worried about the hail and high wind threat as well

There is a chance it could bust. There's a warm nose in the mid levels that could squash storm development. Some models are keeping it and some eroding it. All depends on which one is right.

That’s pretty awesome what you’re doing. After a couple of close calls with a tornado I’ve been fascinated with them and would love to ride with a storm chaser and see how close we could get to one. I watch tornado videos all the time on YouTube and Pecos Hank is my favorite.

Again, thank all of you so much. When I was typing out my request to the places I posted it I was honestly hoping to maybe pick up 30 or 40 subscribers. As of right now we've picked up 185 and still going. Still a ways from 1,000 but y'all have put a considerable dent in it and for that I'm truly thankful. As I said in my original post I'm not going to link or ask people to join our Patreon site as I will not ask for money. Y'all responding as you have to this is extremely helpful, but if any are interested just shoot me a DM and I will give the details.

It would be cool if you could do your next few chases with your video accessible just for that feed for free with by subscribing to your channel. You would have to have a social media blitz at the same time. Just a thought

I can mention that to the team higher ups. It's something they would have to sign off on.
