I’m heartbroken to hear of the passing of Joel Taylor. My heart goes out to his parents. Long before his Discovery fame, Joel and his parents accompanied us on a trip to Hawaii while we taped our show Atmosphere’s. His passion for tornadoes was infectioushttps://t.co/tXUiUF5aUo

Just hearing about another loss in the stormchase community, Joel Taylor. I didn’t know him well, but I’d met him a few times in the Alley. Words seem a inadequate method of grief and remembrance. RIP Joel. pic.twitter.com/Q585NJATVi
