    Discrimination in any form, including in the housing market, is not only morally wrong but also illegal. When it comes to buying homes, everyone should have the right to equal access to housing opportunities regardless of their race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status, or disability. Here are some key points to emphasize when explaining why it is never okay to discriminate against people when it comes to buying homes: 1. **Fair Housing Laws**: In the United States, the Fair Housing Act was enacted to protect individuals from discrimination in housing-related transactions. This law prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status, or disability. 2. **Equal Opportunity**: All individuals should have the same opportunities to purchase homes in the neighborhoods of their choice. Discrimination denies individuals the ability to live where they desire and can perpetuate segregation. 3. **Ethical Considerations**: Treating others with respect and fairness is a fundamental ethical principle. Discrimination based on race or any other characteristic goes against these principles and harms individuals, communities, and society as a whole. 4. **Legal Consequences**: Discrimination in housing is illegal and can lead to severe legal consequences for individuals, businesses, or organizations found guilty of such practices. Penalties can include fines, lawsuits, and damage to reputation. 5. **Creating Inclusive Communities**: Building inclusive communities where people from diverse backgrounds can live and thrive benefits society as a whole. Embracing diversity enriches neighborhoods and fosters a sense of belonging for all residents. 6. **Education and Awareness**: It is important to educate people about fair housing laws and promote awareness about the harmful effects of discrimination. By spreading awareness, we can work towards a more just and inclusive society. In conclusion, it is essential to uphold the principles of fairness, equality, and respect for all individuals when it comes to buying homes. Discrimination has no place in the housing market or any other aspect of society, and we must strive to create a world where everyone is treated with dignity and fairness.::

People like Reed aren't just chasing tornados to take cool pictures and videos, they're doing scientific research, capturing data to add to the collective scientific community that works on tornado research and, most importantly, warning systems. Our current warning system has progressed specifically because of tornado chaser's research, resulting in warning time averages increasing from literal seconds to now 10-13 minutes. Experts understand tornados more than ever and that's a direct result from chasers gathering research in the field. That's not even touching on the fact that they're often the very first responders on the scene. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of videos of chasers assisting and saving lives. This is the real deal and it's more important than many people seem to realize, obviously.

    Also, there's the fact that he's standing next to a tornado and is trying to also communicate with his passenger, and probably can't hear very well with wind roaring in his ears. Logically, that would explain why he's yelling over the sound of the roaring. As he's hearing it first hand and talking to his passenger at the same time. And logically, you'd have to be pretty loud to be able to communicate over it...

    I think the "Insane" Part came from its pure thin but powerful drill bit motion while also moving relatively slow and a retrograding path along with its photogenic appearance and the tornado being enshrouded in a cloak of debris.

It’s brutality, has somewhat of a hypnotic impact, that captivates you, not only in seeing its strength, but in seeing the beauty it possesses, which truly makes it stunning….. my prayers go out to you all, praying everyone stayed safe, for those who may have been injured, praying for your speedy recovery.

Him and members of his unit got called to Tinker Air Force Base, I could be wrong on the spelling, but it was in southern Oklahoma City. He took pictures and talked about finding limbs in the debris. Had an impact on both of us. And after his service was up he went into Federal Disaster Response. After that 1999 storm over always had interest in tornadoes.
