After the accident, the @TORUSupercell windsonde team dedicated three windsondes to the OU3 (Gavin, Nic, and Drake). Only two were launched in 2022, leaving the third for 2023. We launched the sonde into a tornadic supercell west of Seminole, TX on June 2nd. #TORUSLItE #RIPOU3

I hope that you can feel the love we send you and your families from St Louis. ❤️❤️ #RIPOU3

@PeterWx428 I concur #RIPOU3

It's been a year since Nic, Gavin, and Drake all tragically passed away. While I may have personally never known Nic, Gavin, and Drake, they all were very wonderful people from what it seems like. #RIPOU3

#RIPOU3 In memory of the 3 OU storm chasers Drake Brooks, Nicholas Nair, and Gavin Short, they sadly passed in a freak car accident on their way home from campus. Fly high💔🕊️🕊️ #tornado #RIP #wxtwitter

Be kind. Be a light to others and to the world. Never stop chasing. #RIPOU3

The the excitement quickly wore off the next morning when we found out that 3 smart young men with bright futures were tragically killed on their way home that night. A year later, and it still feels raw to lose such passionate chasers. Rest easy Gavin, Drake, and Nic #RIPOU3

There are 2 notable anniversaries today. Today is the 1 year anniversary of the sad passing of 3 OU storm chasers,Drake, Gavin and Nic. They were tragically killed in a car accident on the way home. Today is also the 1 year anniversary of the Andover KS EF3. #wxtwitter #RIPOU3

One year has passed since we lost Gavin, Drake, and Nic and I lost three of the best people I was lucky enough to call close friends. I think of them and will miss them always. #RIPOU3

Although I didn’t get to know Drake very well, I was excited to see him more often because he was going to be living with some of my friends this year. Unfortunately, they were taken away from us too soon but I will always cherish the memories I have with them #RIPOU3 ❤️

I miss these boys so much. I can't believe it's been a year since I last saw you 💔 #RIPOU3 @nic_nairwx @GavinShortWX @Wx_DrakeBrooks
