- silenthill22Salvaged from archive7 May 2007, 00:00I've lived in tornado alley my whole life and still haven't seen a tornado in real life even tho every single year at least 4 come close to our house. These people are crazy. I'd be speeding thru every red light in the opposite direction. hahaha

- UnregisteredSexOffenderSalvaged from archive7 May 2007, 00:00All I gotta say, is that these storm chasers are crazy!!!! You'll find me hiding in a storm shelter or my basement, because mother nature is a beast that can't be reasoned with!!!! FUCK A BUNCH OF THAT!

- Tha 216 SouljaSalvaged from archive7 May 2007, 00:00Fucking Amazing.. Not much you can do but stay far away and watch. Keeps you in awe, great footage.
- brownbearclanSalvaged from archive7 May 2007, 00:00I'll never understand the desire to go chasing those things. I'm with everyone else, I'll be running in the opposite direction.
- CurmudgeonSalvaged from archive7 May 2007, 00:00As tornadoes go, that one wasn't particularly violent. If you can stand next to the field that's being torn up, it's a pretty small tornado. The truly violent ones get up to a mile wide and just rip up everything anywhere near it. The only way to estimate wind speeds during truly violent tornadoes is either by the damage, or if you have footage of it, to identify an object in the vortex and see how far that object moves from frame to frame, because nobody has built a wind gauge yet that can withstand the big tornadoes. You'd certainly never stand 50 yards from a truly violent tornado and live to tell about it.

The better the shot the more money they will get from certain eductional programs or Amazing video show for using it.
- sfoanSalvaged from archive7 May 2007, 00:00I've always wanted to witness a tornado, I think it would be fun, but I'm sure it gets boring after a few times. Kind of like earthquakes.
- speeddriftSalvaged from archive7 May 2007, 00:00I'd be scared some tree or cow would drop out of the sky and SPLAT on my head.
- pacinolifeSalvaged from archive7 May 2007, 00:00I had an F3 about 25 minutes North of me and it tore up a mobile home community and killed a family unfortunately. If it weren't for the tornado chasers guiding most of the community to a safer location it might have been 10 times worse so I guess we have to give thanks to these people who risk there lives to save some. Feel sorry for that town that got demolished in Kansas by that monster F5. I can't wait to move back to Miami from Dallas which is in tornado alley because I rather deal with a predictable hurricane any day over these sporadic wind monsters of doom.
