A massive tornado in Kansas may seem like one of the most unlikely places for a proposal, but for this experienced storm chaser, it was a real and exhilarating way to show his love for his boyfriend. “The 2 loves of my life,” he captioned the photo.
“It was at that moment where I knew everything I wanted to do from then on out,” Krastel, 27, told NBC News. “Every meteorologist has a weather story from when they were little that defined their path.”
But watching tornadoes from far away wasn’t satisfying for Krastel. He wanted to be in the thick of them. And so began his adventures as a storm chaser — someone who runs toward and documents cataclysmic weather events such as thunderstorms and twisters. Krastel estimates he has chased approximately 70 storms in total.
Disastrous storms brought Krastel and his now-fiancé, Chris Scott, together. Scott used to watch storms with his father and his favorite movie as a child was 1996's “Twister," a film about a storm-chasing couple on the brink of divorce who must join forces to create an advanced weather alert system during a record outbreak of tornadoes in Oklahoma.
