expert of Hunt Storm has dead by the storm

Samaras and his son, two of the world's leading storm researchers, fell victim and died in a strong storm in the US last week.

The tragedy occurred with Tim Samaras and his son when they watched tornadoes in the city of El Reno, Oklahoma state on May 31, National Geographic reported.

"They unfortunately died when doing the work they loved , " said Jim Samaras, Tim's younger brother, writing on Facebook.

"Data from the devices helps us understand the processes inside the storm and their formation, so that we can more accurately predict when they appear to announce early warning , " Tim to speak.

Tim's devices allow scientists to observe inside storms. He uses 6 high-resolution cameras to provide 360-degree viewing angles. A special camera, designed by Tim, is capable of capturing lightning at a rate of one million frames per second.

Tim's passion for typhoon formed when he watched a movie about a storm when he was 6 years old. During the past two decades, he has often moved through the "Hurricane Corridor" in the United States, a region with the highest density of storms in the world.

The National Geographic Association awarded 18 rewards to Tim Samaras to acknowledge his contribution.

"Tim is a brave and creative scientist. He dares to follow storms and lightning to better understand them. Although we know that it is a dangerous job, Tim's death is still a word. Deep reminder of the risks that experts will face when working for us , ' commented the National Geographic Association of Tim.
