I'm so glad I don't live in a place that gets tornadoes like that
We had a smallish one a few years ago here that formed over a river. shyt wasn't even that big but destroyed a lot of places and neighborhoods
(8:30ish mark a guy is recording inside his car on the highway as it hits him)
and I was hysterical praying in my basement that I wouldn't die
And that shyt was like 10 miles away lol

Okla. tornado chasers’ final screams: ‘We’re going to die’
Respected weather tracker Tim Samaras and his son, Paul, were among three storm chasers who died Friday night after a twister headed straight for them.

Discovery Channel/Discovery Channel Tornado pursuer Tim Samaras, who previously hosted the Discovery Channel's Storm Chasers series. He had been studying destructive weather for 35 years.
Moments before they lost their lives, the terrified voices of veteran storm chaser Tim Samaras and his son, Paul, could be heard shouting, “We’re going to die” as they desperately tried to outrun a massive Oklahoma tornado
"They were screaming, 'We're going to die, we're going to die,' " recalled Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Betsy Randolph, who heard them over a radio scanner used by authorities.
“There was just no place to go. There was no place to hide,”she said, according to USA Today.
Samaras, 55, along with his son, Paul Samaras, 24, and chase partner Carl Young, 45, were killed Friday night by a tornado in El Reno that turned on a dime and headed straight toward them.

The twister packed winds up to 165 mph that somersaulted the tornado chaser’s vehicle and sucked out Paul Samaras and Young.
Tim Samaras was found inside his car with his seat belt still on.
His truck had been crushed into a twisted gnarl of metal and shattered glass.
Marion Cunningham/Discovery Channel Chase partners Carl Young and Tim Samaras. Young also died in the tragic tornado pursuit.
The elder Samaras founded TWISTEX, the Tactical Weather Instrumented Sampling in/near Tornadoes Experiment, to document and measure the characteristics of cyclones.
A scientist, Samaras had spent 35 years trying to understand destructive storm systems and was well-respected in the weather-tracking community.
Unlike many storm chasers, he was not considered reckless.
GENE BLEVINS/REUTERS Storm chaser Tim Samaras displays his 1,680-pound, 1.4-million-frames-per-second camera. His goal was to expand the lead time on tornadoes, which he said is about 17 minutes.
Indeed, he had missed the catastrophic tornado that ripped apart Moore, Okla., on May 20, killing nine children and 13 others, because he and his team determined it was just too dangerous to pursue.
In an interview with the Daily News two days later, Samaras said he gave wide berth to the Moore monster, which measured EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, the highest tornado rating.
Samaras and his colleagues were dedicated to studying destructive weather so that lead times for tornado warnings could be increased.
CHARLIE NEIBERGALL/ASSOCIATED PRESS Tim Samaras, 55, was not known to be risky. He skipped out on chasing the massive tornado that flattened Moore, Okla., because it was too dangerous. Samaras shows probes he uses to measure tornado strength after a May 2006 twister in Ames, Iowa.
“Right now, the typical warning time is about 17 minutes,” Samaras told The News.
“Wouldn’t it be great if that lead time could be 30 minutes? It would be really cool to increase that amount of time.”

There is an opportunity for a new Black History first ...... I looked up "Black tornado chaser" and "African American tornado chaser" ...... there are apparently none..... somebody from thecoli should make that leap... I figure if you do at least 3 chases you get to be the considered the first .. 
.. You'll get radio, TV, and magazine exposure. Do speeches and then whatever your real goals are can likely benefit from your risk taking personality ....
