I'm almost fully recovered and still living with my crew. Tyler is out chasing while I decided to cook us something to eat.

I turn on his livestream and leave my usual chat message.

"Hailey in the chat! Say hay Tyler" Boone says holding the camera. "Hay Hailey! We broke the big booms"

I laugh and continue watching, I like a couple of fans comments and join the live for a few minutes.
When Tyler arrives he hung his hat on the rack by the front door.

Lilly waved and as she walked past the hallway. Tyler walked in and put his arms around my waist, I winced slightly at my still sore side.

"Oh sorry" he apologized kissing the top of my head and sitting at the table. Boone thanked me and started eating.
We all enjoyed our meal and they told me about the tornado.

"When will you start chasing again?" Boone asks. Tyler put his hand on my knee underneath the table knowing it was a tad bit sensitive for me. "Soon, I just need to get back in the groove again" I reply.

"To be honest until your ready too chase again we could use you as a weather station here at the house" Tyler suggested. "Will I get my own livestream camera?" I joke.

"That's a really good idea, we could call it 'Hailey cam' " Boone says waving his hands when he said the name.
"Well we just need the equipment and project Hailey cam will be in progress" Tyler says nudging my knee.

Tyler sets up a radio and my camera around all my weather equipment. They make their way out to where they'd be chasing.

"Howdy folks! Tyler Owens signin in for another live chase! Today we've got our usual chasers along with something new we like to call Hailey cam!"

I pop on screen and wave.

"If y'all don't know my amazing girlfriend Hailey, she got injured in the EF5 that almost took out the town, since she's in recovery she's gonna be our weather graph lady, she'll let us know where and when it's coming from"

After a couple minutes our chase had begun, the adrenaline rushed through me even though I was on my living room couch.

"What's our wind speed Hailey?" Tyler asks. "About 25 miles per hour" I explain reading the graph in front of me.
I watch as they drive into the tornado and scream excitedly.

I laughed with them even though i wasn't there. It sucked having to sit out while they chased but I couldn't do anything about it.

"Woo! Hell yeah! That's how you wrangle one!" Tyler shouts. I laugh and he tips his hat at the camera.
The fans were loving every second of it all and I enjoyed it a lot.

"Okay Tyler we've got one fresh out of Oklahoma City, but my graph won't reach" I explain. "Pull the antenna too the right" Lilly instructs.

"It's light but it's there, it's a quick and easy EF1 as of now" I explain. "Well let's chase it!"

I was genuinely missing chasing. I watch in sadness and excitement at the same time.
"Woohoo! Look at how beautiful she is!" Tyler shouted grabbing the camera.

I stared intently at the screen. "Okay Ms. Hailey, we out of cells yet?" Tyler asks. "Looks like it, y'all can head towards me" I explain.

I wave goodbye and get taken off the stream. I sigh and put my equipment away. When Tyler gets back I'm sitting on the couch scrolling on my phone.

I guess he noticed my expression because he looked at me weird. "You ok?" He asks. I nod and continue scrolling.
"Your not though" he mentions.
