Tim Samaras and Carl Young, together with Samaras' son were killed in the infernal tornado of yesterday in Oklahoma.
The famous hosts and weather chasers were two of the surviving members of the cast, since Matt Hughes committed suicide two years ago.
The tragic event followed a post by Samaras letting people know that they feared losing their life as the storm approached.
The contribution of scientists and even amateurs to metereological advances in knowledge and understanding are usually underestimated by those who watch the program, who see Samaras and his colleagues' as mere stunts.
The reason why Samaras has perished, some believe, was due to the fact that the dangerous tornado suddenly veered course to the north and directly into the path of Samaras' vehicles.
Samaras was a well respected and beloved storm chaser who went out of his way to help others in the same profession if they were harmed or in danger. He was liked by everyone for his serious commitment to the science of metereology.
It is almost unexplicable how unlucky he was, since he was extremely conservative about taking chances and always put safety first.
We will miss Samaras and his crew. Rest in peace Tim, and the ones who perished with you.
