SOMEWHERE NEAR NORMAN — Celebrity storm chaser and “extreme meteorologist” Reed Timmer has come home to Oklahoma, and his armored Dominator chase vehicles are in (get this) a climate-controlled garage.
They won’t be parked for long. Spring, extreme weather and tornadoes are coming.
The Michigan native calls Norman home after 17 years of study, including a Ph.D. in meteorology, at the University of Oklahoma. But he is not disclosing where his new place is exactly, after a bizarre stalking incident.
A man in Georgia got hold of a picture of the 5,000-square-foot warehouse after it was inadvertently, temporarily posted online, and used a reverse image search to determine its location. He drove up to Timmer’s new digs, which include a residence, and knocked on his door.
Startling. After that, the photo was taken down and replaced with an interior picture, showing one of the Dominators. Timmer’s life and times are exciting enough without unannounced, unknown visitors.
It’s hard to blame the Georgian.
