UPDATE 2:58 p.m. - Our own 4Warn Storm Team chaser Reed Timmer is now home after a health scare while trying to intercept tornadoes on the Nebraska/Iowa border last week.
Timmer said he hopes to be "back to 100 percent" Tuesday.
He plans to update everyone on what happened and how he is doing soon
Timmer said he really appreciates all the support and well wishes he has received.
UPDATE: Reed Timmer has been released from the hospital and he is resting.
Doctors still want to do some further testing.
A member of the 4Warn Storm Team has suffered an apparent seizure and is in the hospital in Iowa Friday evening.
Reed Timmer is recovering at Mercy Medical Center in Sioux City, Iowa, according to his team member Mike Scantlin.
He is undergoing a series of tests, but currently he is resting in the emergency room.
Scantlin says Timmer is talking but feels nauseated.

Reed, if they don’t find the cause of your seizure, you can take steps to control your seizure threshold. The biggest one is getting enough sleep! Also most states have laws regarding not driving for a period of time after a seizure, be sure to follow that. (3-6 months usually.) It’s protecting your life and everyone’s around you. You can still chase, just have a driver, get more rest and lower your stress. Stay well, and slow down a bit. Fellow storm chaser…
