Today's supposed to be a good day for tornadoes. The smaller kind that we can get, that is. Thinking I should drive south, where it is possible to spot one.

Perhaps you should move, to be closer to the tornado. :P

  Tornadoes are unpredictable, hence there is no point in "moving closer to them."   :fp:

Yet storm chasers somehow manage to predict where the tornadoes will be. :nerd!:  :facepalm2:

  I suppose I could do that too, if I wanted to live in a van.  :P

I suppose it would have been too much trouble for Revere to announce, "The tornado is coming!  The tornado is coming!"

Living in west Texas most of my life and traveling all over the central USA, working in bands, I have seen many tornadoes in real life and I have been TOO CLOSE to three of them.

One time I was driving the band bus very early in the morning when we came right up on a small tornado (only a little wider that the width of the four lane Interstate highway). It stopped the huge bus in just a few feet, and spit it out, but there was a white Toyota that was passing me at the time and when it hit the tornado, it turned and went straight up and into the twisting winds.
About forty five minutes later after we had all settled down and began going again, we saw the Toyota sitting upside down in a field about a mile away.
The State Police and a number of ambulances were already on the scene, so I assumed that we would just be in the way if we offered to help, but we could see that they were treating two people who looked to have survived their tornado ride.
Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

  Actually, I read that the tornado touched down too quickly for a warning to be given.  :hide:

I do want to see one, but DD's post made me think.

  Me too!  Imagine coming upon one in the middle of the road like that, without warning!  :runaway:  :GA:
