OKLAHOMA CITY – Tributes from grieving family and friends poured in Saturday for three University of Oklahoma meteorology students who died while storm chasing in Kansas this weekend.

A tight-knit community of weather lovers and storm chasers is grieving after the three students died in a car crash late Friday while returning to Norman, Oklahoma, from storm chasing in Kansas.

The loss of the students, Nicholas Nair, 20, of Denton, Texas; Gavin Short, 19, of Grayslake, Illinois; and Drake Brooks, 22, of Evansville, Indiana, prompted many to express their grief, but also to remember why they loved them.

Leigh O’Neil, a geographic information science major at OU, said the three students were the “kindest, smartest people” she’d ever met. O’Neil said a selfie of the three mugging for the camera that they sent to their friends Friday is a perfect representation of how funny they were.

“You couldn’t be around them without laughing your ass off,” she said. “They truly would do anything to help others out, even before their own well being. … They are already missed greatly. Their loss is insanely painful for us all.”

Fatal collision occurred during rainstorm in northern Oklahoma

Nair, Short and Brooks were driving southbound on a wet highway when their SUV hydroplaned, left the roadway to the right and then came back onto the highway and stopped. The 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan was struck by a semi traveling in the same direction, according to Oklahoma Highway Patrol.

Gavin Short, orange shirt, and Nicholas Nair, left of Short, are pictured with their friends. Short and Nair died in a fatal car crash while coming home after storm chasing in Kansas.

The three were pronounced dead at the scene about 85 miles north of Oklahoma City. Tonkawa Fire Department officials and paramedics worked nearly five and a half hours to remove them from the wreckage. The semi truck driver was transported to a hospital in Blackwell but has since been released.

The accident took place around 11:23 p.m. Friday night, just three hours after the students witnessed a small tornado north of Herrington, Kansas, according to their Twitter accounts.

Evan Short, 17, Gavin Short’s younger brother, said Gavin “lived more in his 1.5 years at OU than in his first 18 years of life.”

“I can find solace in the idea that now he can live among the clouds which he loved so much,” Evan Short said.

OU’s College of Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences issued a statement saying that as finals weeks approaches, counseling was available “as we all grieve this unthinkable heartbreak.”

“Our community in Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences is close-knit, and our School of Meteorology is very much a family. Now, more than ever, we must come together in kindness and heartfelt support for one another. Please join us in offering thoughts and prayers for those most impacted, and providing them with privacy,” the statement said.

Gavin Short, 19, is pictured holding a storm chaser sign he was gifted with at Christmas in December 2021.

Meteorological community mourns OU students’ death on social media

Those in the weather and meteorology community took to Twitter Saturday to express their condolences over the news.

Chris Dixon, a fellow OU meteorology student, was part of a separate group of students storm chasing Friday. He saw his first tornado over Andover, Kansas, but woke up Saturday to hear that three peers had died.

“Words cannot describe this rollercoaster of emotions from one of the highest points of my life to one of the most close-to-home serious ones,” Dixon wrote on Twitter Saturday.

A well-known storm chaser and OU meteorology alum Reed Timmer called the students friends and said they are close to his heart.

“My thoughts and prayers go out to their families and friends,” Timmer said.
