Well one things for sure, I never want to be a storm chaser lol, I'd end up freaking out in the middle of the job lol. At least by the looks of it no one was hurt

That's insane... you wouldn't catch me doing that. Neat though.

It's a yearly ritual for the chasers to get out and land some nice twisters in oklahoma and kansas, the professional chasers know thier business when dealing with these F3 to F5 bad boys.the amature's some times don't fair very well when chasing, I just don't want to see a tornado here this year

I was actually viewing their videos; it's astonishing how close they come to these giants. Also, be sure to check out their live tracker - it's a pretty neat system.
