Storm Chaser Andy Gabrielson - RIP

[Kevin]

Tough one...reports now confirmed that founder and chaser at FindTheTornado.com, Andy Gabrielson, was killed this afternoon in a car accident in OK. Apparently a drunk driver going the wrong direction on the interstate was involved. Another fatality as well.

Andy undoubtedly one of the best around...had been to this area many times as well for chases...most recently on May 25th. RIP....

Local media report of the accident...

To say this is tragic would be a monumentous understatement....thoughts and prayers to his family and hope that He gives them peace during this unfathomable time.

SpotterNetwork has asked their users to turn on their GPS beacon for 24 hours...and in KS now this is noticeable...



Amazing...probably all you need to see to know how well he was respected and liked in the chasing community...

Here's an updated view...totally cool....

TWC is going to be doing a live tribute at 9 PM. Andy was frequently featured on there during chases.

Severe Studios is reporting the alleged drunk driver was the second fatality in the accident...

Wow, I have only heard good things about Andy over the past couple years. He was, by far, one of the most successful storm chasers out there...prayers for him and his family.
