Reed and company are becoming increasingly more unhinged as the need/desire to one-up themselves hits critical levels. Road laws are bent by everyone, but running red lights because MY STORM is across the line.

He did it twice during the stream, too. I was disgusted to see such behavior, especially attempting to screw around with the camera to hide the fact he was running reds.
Sadly, it seems he won't actually suffer consequences for this.
I think part of your job as a storm chaser should always be to make the world a bit more safe, either by warning others or as a first responser. Running red lights doesn‘t contribute to safety at all…
The disease of being a live streamer has many effects on mental health and decision making, to be honest. I would love a lot of chasers a lot more if they weren't streamers.
I have never understood Reed's fan base. They're rabidly loyal for someone that seems like they have never matured & has always been unhinged. Seems to have the same maturity now that he had at age 18-20 when he chased the 1999 Moore F-5 w/ no shirt on.
The Way the Livestreams are Produced are based on Hype Mongering and $ Creation. People tend to donate more when People doing dangerous things on stream. Or suddenly a disaster struck and the Streamer starts Hero Mode.
Idolisation can be become kinda toxic, seen with Y'alls and Velocity Fans
And i pull my Hat for Stuff Reed and Crew has produced in 2024 . Greenfield for Real the Best i seen in the last 10 Years a Masterpiece Group Work.Mike Scantlin did the Drone Piloting. Also Westmoreland ,amazing filming. But not all is awesome
He has consistently done this sort of shit for a long time. Like driving the wrong way and almost hitting someone during Andover. It caused me to lose any respect for him and the like. Many big name chasers blatantly disregard laws and the safety of those around them. Such a shame.
I watched it Live , and i could not belive Reed did this too.He is a person People look up to esp Young Chasers who see him as huge Idol. He needs to called out for it.
Not a Fan of Drama at all but thats a Red Traffic Light Flag too much for me. Glad i'm not the only one being pissed about it
I dont know whats going on in his Life now. I cant tell , but what i see from the public figure he is something is not right with him mentally speaking , concerned.

"Traffic was light and they were probably not endangering anyone" okay but if you were just sitting at a red light would you go through it? Is that something you just do regularly? Unless you're a first responder, tracking a storm does not give you permission to forego basic traffic safety.
Even as a first responder (I was a first responder when I was younger), you still have to obey basic traffic laws, even with lights/siren going. This includes slowing WAY down at intersections & at red traffic lights.
