ClimatePatrol.com Nominations For Weather Stupidity
Instead of having a Darwin award how about one for weather stupidity. What do I mean by that? Well watch this video and you'll see what I mean.
Lets see what kind of rocket scientists you can find.

Oh yeah. They weren't drunk. Just stupid. A kid and his dad if I remember correctly. Mom screaming at one of them to get away from the window.

You can see part of the Gull Lake tornado from 1991 in the following video. It appears at about 2:24 in the video. Unfortunately they leave the best out. Hopefully somebody here can find the full video.
The Gull Lake tornado is I believe the one Mike was talking about.

You can add any video made by these idiots.
They pretend to be chasers but in reality they are thrill seekers. They are idiots and will eventually get killed. Their antics will end up being a black mark on real chasers. The ones that do it for research and not a thrill boner.
So I nominate these clowns as well.

Storm Chaser Arrested
| Quote From Source: | CRANE COUNTY--Chasing storms is what Brian Barnes does for a living. And it was while he was doing just that, that he says he found himself in a difficult and strange situation involving a Crane County Sheriff's Deputy. "I told him that I was helping out the National Weather Service in San Angelo, and they were relaying my reports to Midland. He told me he didn't care, and that I needed to go."
Barnes thought it was his obligation to stay put and follow the storms, a decision that landed him in jail. "He jumped out and put me in handcuffs. I turned around and I remember him slamming me up against his vehicle, and then it all got kind of scary."
Among the witnesses was Dennis Greer, who had a similar run-in, with the same deputy, just minutes earlier while he was shooting picutures of the same storm for the newspaper.
"His first words to me were, 'are you a blankety-blank idiot?' He told me if I didn't leave, I was going to jail, flat out."

I vote for the deputy as being the biggest dumb-ass in a weather related incident. Obviously this "officer" watches way too much Lee Ermey . I'd sue this deputy, his department, the county, the governor, lol...
They should take the warning labels off of everything and let stupidity sort itself out.

Just like those idiot chasers that play chicken with the storms this cop is an idiot and gives good cops a bad name. This is the kind of idiot that gets free lap dances, sits in a donut shop all day and does crap like this. Ego jockeys like him have no business with a badge or gun. They are a threat to themselves and everyone else.

If you want to include wind as part of the problem then this story could be a winner of the award lol. A priest takes a party balloon ride and is never seen again. You have to read the story to appreciate it.
| Quote From Source: |
A Brazilian priest is missing after he drifted out to sea while trying to set a record for a flight using helium-filled party balloons, authorities said on Tuesday.
Father Adelir Antonio de Carli began his flight suspended in a harness-like seat from 1,000 balloons of various colors on Sunday in the southern port of Paranagua. He had intended to fly 20 hours due west but unexpected winds carried the 42-year-old Roman Catholic priest out over the south Atlantic on a southeasterly course.
