S1E10 The Other Side - Canton, TX Outbreak (Part II)

April 20, 2021 • Weather | Storm Chasers | Tornado Trackers • Season 1 • Episode 10

In Part II of a special two-part series, the Tornado Trackers share Jeff's perspective of the surprise regional tornado outbreak that ravaged Canton, TX on April 29, 2017. After he and Gabe become separated, Jeff finds himself running for his life from a mile-wide EF4 tornado. Just when he thinks he is out of harm's way, a second large tornado touches down leaving him racing to safety again.

In this episode, Jeff discusses how a previous traumatic event influenced his response to the aftermath of the Canton tornadoes. It is a reminder that every chaser brings their own life experiences with them on the road, and that those experiences can unexpectedly impact their reaction in certain situations.

Gabe also clears the air on where he and Jeff's understanding of the day stands, and reveals which breakfast food is the most powerful force for relational healing.
