Remembering Kelley Williamson · 4:55pm Mar 29th, 2017
Yesterday was a grim reminder to all storm chasers that the most dangerous part of the job isn't the storms, but the other chasers around you.
Around 3pm yesterday near Spur, TX, Kelley Williamson and his chasing partner Randall Yarnall ran a stop sign while chasing a tornado in the area. They collided with an SUV driven by another storm chaser, Corbin Jaeger. The crash left all three men dead at the scene.
Kelley made a mistake and it cost him, his friend and another chaser their lives. It's tragic, but was avoidable.
I had met Kelley a few times when he was chasing in the area i live in and we had a few conversations over facebook every now and again. I always tuned into his storm chase livestream and loved his professional nature.
Please keep these men in your hearts and prayers this week.
Thank you
Amen, brother. Amen to that.
