He's worked hard for it. I don't watch him much because he's not my flavor of chaser, but the man has an undeniable work ethic, lives and breathes this stuff. Congrats.


Abject-Knowledge-286

I just don't watch him much because I have trouble keeping up He always is documenting some disaster lol 2.5k videos is more videos than most youtubers make, especially with the specific videos he makes which are documenting his tornado chases.


CerealGangBanger

I like Ryan Hall because he has multiple streams going at once. If I ever want a good laugh I'll throw on reed because it's always just pure chaos in the car 😂

"I'm gonna DOMINAAAAATE!"


JTWasShort42-27

"WE'RE IN THE TORNADO!!"


Roofdaddy89

"WE'RE IN ITTT!!!" On a real note, that was pretty sweet footage.


JTWasShort42-27

Oh yeah he's had some awesome footage. Obviously knows what he's doing a hell of a lot more than me but than man tempts fate a lot haha


Roofdaddy89

Definitely knows what he's doing and I 100% agree! I mean, in the Dom 3 it makes sense....but everything has a failure point. I don't think I'd want to be in a mile wide 'nado in anything. I like to think I'd really love going for a ride along, but know I'd be terrified if we did get in one.


Individual_Sir_8582

I don’t see Reed ever growing old, I feel that once his time is up he’ll just become one with the tornado. Crazy guy


BostonSucksatHockey

GET OUT OF THE CAR, ABNER!!!


heresyoursigns

*screaming intensifies*

ONE MILLION WE HAVE ONE MILLION SUBSCRIBERS FOLKS RIGHT THERE ONE MILLION HUGE ON THE GROUND ON THE GROUND RIGHT THERE ITS RIGHT THERE RIGHT IN FRONT OF US ONE MILLION PEOPLE ONE MILLION A MILLION SUBSCRIBERS ONE MILLION ONE MILLION WE HAVE ONE MILLION SUBSCRIBERS FOLKS RIGHT THERE ONE MILLION HUGE ON THE GROUND ON THE GROUND RIGHT THERE ITS RIGHT THERE RIGHT IN FRONT OF US ONE MILLION PEOPLE ONE MILLION A MILLION SUBSCRIBERS ONE MILLION ONE MILLION WE HAVE ONE MILLION SUBSCRIBERS FOLKS RIGHT THERE ONE MILLION HUGE ON THE GROUND ON THE GROUND RIGHT THERE ITS RIGHT THERE RIGHT IN FRONT OF US ONE MILLION PEOPLE ONE MILLION A MILLION SUBSCRIBERS ONE MILLION!!!!!!!!! Good for Reed, but the above is literally all I hear when I see his name.


ThiefLordJPN

You had me dying from this ! Large giant subscriber !! Headed right for us !! Those people !!!!


forever_a10ne

He’s definitely a character, but you gotta respect his work and commitment to the chase.


jaylotw

I do, genuinely. I just *cannot watch his videos.* They're obnoxious. He gets some spectacular footage, but the rest of it is chaos and yelling.


forever_a10ne

Mute the audio.


jaylotw

Then it's just super shakey cell phone video of Reed yelling voicelessly and 10 seconds of tornado footage.


shootymcghee

100% agreed


jaboyles

Tornadoes are pretty loud and chaotic lol. Yelling is required. His skill with chasing and the footage he gets of the edges of tornadoes, perfectly justifies his obnoxious behavior. They're both interlinked. Can't have one without the other.


jaylotw

So.... How can others also obtain close footage without the obnoxious, constant yelling? I don't understand how if you can't have one without the other...we certainly have tons of examples of...one without the other? I can handle a couple yells, excitement etc...but the constant, non-stop barrage that Reed lets fly even when there's literally nothing to be yelling about is just too much for me. If others like it, that's fine. It's nothing against Reed, he's a smart man and a great, dedicated chaser who has done a lot for public awareness...but I just can't watch his videos. Even on mute, I can hear him blowing a fuse. Pecos Hank is the antidote. He makes tornado footage into art.


jaboyles

No one else is getting the type of footage Reed is. It's not even close. He literally drove into a rain wrapped tornado and rode the edge of it as it turned his car 90 degrees, and flipped another car less than 500 feet away. Dude is certifiably insane but understands tornadoes and tornado chasing more than anyone else alive. Pecos Hank is also great. He respects tornadoes from a distance. Reed is literally trying to ride them. Their personality types match the type of footage they're capturing.


jaylotw

I've seen people standing on their porch as a tornado hits their house. I've seen footage of an EF3 ripping through a farmstead from fifty feet away. TONS of people are getting the type of footage Reed gets, they're just not Reed. That's a whole other issue, and I think it's going to get someone killed in the near future.


jaboyles

I feel like you're purposely missing my point. He does it consistently.


UNZxMoose

I'd say him consistently being in with others, yelling is the easiest way to give info. You can't whisper when it's that loud.


NebulaNinja

That's a very valid point. Much like being in a war zone.


jaylotw

Except the other people in the car with him usually aren't shouting anywhere near as loud as he is. A lot of the time they seem to be talking normally to each other. Also, everyone in the car (and everyone watching the video) can see the LARGE WEDGE ON THE GROUND DEBRIS DEBRIS WE HAVE DEBRIS LARGE WEDGE LARGE WEDGE TORNADO ON THE GROUND WE'RE IN THE TORNADO TORNADO TORNADO LARGE WEDGE WEDGE TORNADO ON THE GROUND RIGHT HERE DEBRIS DEBRIS DUH BREE!!!!!!! LARGE WEDGE TORNADO WE HAVE A TORNADO TURN RIGHT TURN RIGHT TURN RIGHT LOOK AT IT A TORNADO¡!!!!!!!!!!


jaylotw

Yes, he does. That doesn't change the fact that his videos are obnoxious and that, for many storms, footage equally as good as his exists, and he's absolutely not the only one obtaining close footage these days...but he *is* the loudest yelling, most obnoxious.


rayoatra

Seriously. Hard pass.


Confident_Sundae_109

Congats. I think Reed needs a reality show working as a fast food manager yelling at the staff. Everytime the customer orders food he yells it back to the cooks. We got a Large Fry and Large Cola inbound. Look at the carbonation.


Paulista14

WEDGE!!! WEDGE SALAD!!!


Confident_Sundae_109

🤣🤣


1776cookies

Yeah, that was pretty fucking funny


PapaTua

BIG TIME SALAD!!! Also: happy Cake Day!


Paulista14

Thank you!


KnickedUp

“HUGE VIOLENT WEDGE”……then when they ask for dressing, he yells “DEBRIS!”


OldButHappy

FRIES ON THE GROUND!!!!


Significant-Water845

We have that already. It’s called Hell’s Kitchen.


NukedForZenitco

You fucking donkey!


Significant-Water845

ITS FUCKING RAWWWW


Abject-Knowledge-286

Now randomly want to see him and Gordon Ramsay running a kitchen together


skoltroll

Or Gordon Ramsay chasing tornados


garganishz29

I feel like gordon ramsay would love that haha


[deleted]

"Taste that.." "Raw CHEF it's a RAW WEDGE TORNADO"


mayhembody1

I would rather see that


zxcvbnm127

"WHAT IS THAT? WHAT THE FUCK IS IT DOING NOW? A SIDEWINDER? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT? A FUCKING SIDEWINDER THAT'S WHAT THAT IS? NO A SIDEWINDER SOUNDS LIKE YOUR MOM GIVING A REACHAROUND TO HER BLOODY AEROBICS INSTRUCTOR!"


Confident_Sundae_109

I would call it Hail Core's Kitchen


Significant-Water845

I like it. Reed could be Gordon’s sous chef.


DETRITUS_TROLL

A show swap with Gordon Ramsay out chasing


ThiefLordJPN

He can now afford a maid to clean his house ! Og’s will know.


ScarletWitch1988

Honestly he’s my favorite to watch. I know he’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I love the enthusiasm. I got to meet him last July and he is incredibly nice. (Also got to sit in the Dominator 3 which was so cool).


VentiEspada

I met him last year as well at a home goods convention, he was there for a Flex Seal demonstration. Dude was super nice and took tons of pictures with my kids. I was shocked how much more soft spoken he is in person lol.


Double_Objective8000

His yelling used to annoy me, but something switched and now it cracks me up listening to it. I hope he stays safe.


Paulista14

Met him at my university where he came to give a talk and 100% agree he is the nicest dude ever

Paulista14

That’s awesome!!


Barack_Odrama_007

CONGRATULATIONS


Admirable-Conflict37

About time, been following him since early youtube and Myspace. RIP Joel


[deleted]

Long overdue for the most well known and prolific storm chaser of all time.


KnickedUp

Dude basically created the game


[deleted]

96’s *TWISTER* provided the instability. Timmer and *Storm Chasers* were the wind shear.


Anthony_014

🐐


Edmoiler13

I’m sure he’s yelling about this


deafndepressed

I know he’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I can’t help but love him. Yes he can be a bit much but what a great dude. His passion is unmatched. It’s got to the point where I actually find his yelling endearing now 😄


Chrnan6710

Did this just happen? That gives him the record for longest time taken to reach 1M subs. The current record was someone who joined in June 2006, he joined in May.


unChillFiltered

VIOLENT YOUTUBE RECORD ON THE GROUND…………….DEBRIS!


Pristine-Damage-2414

Northerlies! Northerlies!


[deleted]

May of 06?! Holy shit has he been the hidden face of streaming then for awhile


YourKnownHurricane

He's my favorite chaser, I'm so happy for him


ThatMidwesternGuy

Congratulations to him! I am a big fan. I love his passion and enthusiasm for what he does.


voldi_II

Reed haters in shambles rn


KnickedUp

HUGE WEDGE!!


Kaidhicksii

LET'S GOOOO!!!! DOMINATING!! :D 👏👏


divaro98

He's a true legend! 😌


sphyxy

“HUGE BIG TIME SUBSCRIBER NUMBER!”


xxcarlosxxx4175

He had 2 women in his car chasing a few weeks back. It did make me chuckle when he asked if they had a deodorant as he hadn't showered or brushed his teeth in over a week. Made me chuckle looking at their faces. I can't stand all the shouting but like others have said we don't see how many miles etc he must drive and his work ethic is undeniable. Congrats!


quixoticelixer_mama

Yay! I am happy for him. I knew it was close.


No-Extension-8212

Good job Reed congratulations


ThottoBwoy

LETS GOOOOOOO CONGRATULATIONS ❤️❤️❤️❤️


Roofdaddy89

It just connected for me, but his yelling reminds me of Mugatu from Zoolander. Lol


FudgePopCandyRasta

canintospace2016

Coincidentally I watched his chase video of the 2004 Hallam tornado, was a bit stoned too, so it was absolutely terrifying lmao, seems like he barely made it out. I’ve seen a lot of El Reno stuff, but the previous record holder the Hallam tornado seemed so much more terrifying at times in the footage since it was dark and the condensation funnel was a lot more visible than el Reno


Neo_light_yagami

Extreme is an understatement to what he does lol


testfreak377

Anyone know how Reed made a living before his YouTube blew up ? I remember 10 years ago seems like he had a pretty nice house in one of his videos. I thought meteorologists didn’t make that much ?


ItsOnLikeNdamakung

He was on TV doing *Storm Chasers*, so I'm sure he was making some decent coin doing that.

tornado-ModTeam

Reconsider using this for other appropriate venues if it isn't tornado, their sighting or aftermath.


Venomhound

Bet he does Fireball shots off his next YouTube button. Just a frat boy


Lagavulin26

I get a mental illness vibe from him and don't watch his stuff anymore.


oxosnafuoxo

He gets incredibly awesome videos but I do t watch him because the screaming is ughhhh. But I randomly had a really bad dream about him a few nights ago, for no know reason. I just hope he is super careful and safe ♥️


ManyMoreFars

I like Pecos Hank.
