Great article and great pictures! I think the weather is changing-too-fast-phenomenon for modern science. There are simply too many variables to make it all simplier.

What is it about those broadcast news meterologists? Does it say in their contracts that they must maintain a statuesque or brawny silhouette and keep their teeth radiating a certain footcandles of whiteness?

Those pics are amazing. I don't know why but I love this feeling that you get before the storm. You know, everything gets quiet and dark, people suddenly dissapear and you're all alone. It's kinda nice.

F0 – aha. I have seen on the National Geographic channel how tornadoes are ranked, but never actually seen or felt one. I live in Europe, we are tornado-free here. And it is very reassuring to know so, I might say

Just a note
It was a tornado – F0 = not very powerful.

Jean- Most storm chasers are not paid in any form. There is a large number of hams that are involved in storm spotting – nearly 80% of reported storms are spotted by hams (amateur radio).

I think the pay for being a storm chaser must be really high, other wise I wouldn't imagine why someone would deliberately risk their lives. Maybe just for the adrenalin rush?

You bet there is no tornado in the UK. It is also so could there that there is no hot air mass to collide with the cold one. Moreover it rains all the time, clouds there didn't learn how to store water But joke aside, living with the thought that a tornado can srtike anytime kinda' makes you a bit paranoid every time you see a seriously dark cloud, doesn't it?

Thats scary. In the UK we don't have as many unpredictable whether changes. On one hand its very scary but on the other very exciting!
