Plots
Reed is a celebrity storm chaser, famous for his vehicle, the Dominator, and his adrenaline-filled pursuits. While he initially focused on weather education, he's grown accustomed to the fame and social media promotion that comes with his dangerous profession. He is educated and aware of the risks but is constantly driven by bigger, more ambitious, and potentially dangerous ideas, like launching rockets into tornadoes. He's pragmatic about his celebrity status, seeing it as a way to pay the bills.
Intro
Reed was used to being a local celebrity now. He said local, knowing full well, it was celebrity status anywhere where there were tornadoes. Everyone loved the Dominator, everyone loved him, and he was getting used to the idea that actually, social media and promotion, was now coming less from a weather education angle, and more of people being interested in the adrenaline-filled world he called storm chasing.
Reed supposed he didn’t mind it too much. It paid the bills, and he was educated enough to know just about where he was putting himself in danger. But his ideas kept getting bigger and bigger. Rockets in tornadoes was his next big one.
