Stormchasers feel a sort of familial kinship to one another, so the

someone of the caliber of Tim Samaras and his crew is not just a loss

lightning) research.

that is a subtle and fitting picture to reflect on their lives & deaths; we
have a pretty respectable meteorologist, Mike Nelson, on our Denver TV news,
who had known Samaras and covered his work, even traveled with him; he gave an
extensive and emotional on-air tribute; i'm sure other sites are covering this
but here's a local perspective
