This is my favorite show and I've really been looking forward to this season since this was the worst one in forever. That first episode was more boring than expected though. Not much happened for one of the worst outbreaks ever.

I remember following all the guys on that "tracker" site Discovery has. Most of them weren't really in the areas of the big tornado that hit Smithville or Tuscaloosa. Like Reed and his gang stayed in Mississippi most of the day. They couldn't get any footage of the monster when they weren't there.
I remember watching live streaming of one set of chasers. They were in Northport all day. One guy kept saying they needed to stay, that things would eventually get bad in Tuscaloosa. The other bitched saying they were wasting time sitting there. So they decided to drive up 82 to Columbus to catch the storms. They missed the Tuscaloosa tornado due to that.

I think with Tornadoes that size there really isn't a lot you can do as far as filming. They are just too large and powerful to get close enough for dramatic footage. Once the tornado has passed there is so much destruction that roads leading into the affected areas are impassable limiting what the chasers are able to get on camera.
