      Looks AI-ish to me. Does someone want to do the guesswork?

          As someone who wanted to do storm chasing/meteorology, I approve.

            Honestly, I'm moreso disturbed by the choice of crocs for storm chasing. Don't you need to, like, potentially run to your car and whatnot?

                Ok it makes a lot more sense that they're actually professional storm chasers who chase storms together.

                  are these things dangerous? the whirlwind i mean. they don't exist where i live, i have never seen one irl.

                  i would kinda just want to walk towards it to see how strong it is. it that a doable thing?

                    It can destroy whole cities. They are likely 2-3 miles away or more. It is way WAY bigger that you are imagining.

                      Ever been right near a freight train crossing as one blazes by at high speed?

                      Imagine ten or twenty at the same time.

                      Tornadoes are incredibly loud, and just... sound like destruction... the ground, the air....everything is shaking, rippling, like bombs going off continuously.

                      It is difficult to capture this with video or audio, because... they are so loud, and hit so many frequency ranges, that you'd basically have to be sitting inside of an arena concert subwoofer to... get the audio experience replicated.

                      That and... basically everything fairly close to them has a tendency to be obliterated.

                      They can rip a telephone pole (basically shaved down tree trunks in areas of America tornadoes often hit) out of the ground, and then throw it through a house, like, clean through, and then clean through the next house, and then embedded 5 to 10 feet into the ground, at an oblique angle.

                      Tornadoes move around fairly quickly, and ... basically everything that gets too close is... blenderized.

                      If you're within say 500 meters of one, you should either be hiding in a cellar or bunker, or you should be driving away from it as fast as possible.

                      Notice how this tree... is nowhere near where it got uprooted from.

                      This tree managed to get broken off, thrown just so that it landed upright, braced against a power line.

                      Nearly 2 metric ton vehicle thrown about a kilometer through the air, hit the town water tower, bounced off, kept going for another ~ half kilometer.

                      ...

                      Please do not walk up to a tornado.

                                I was terrified of these when I was little, but fortunately they’re not that common in Yorkshire. I made the decision to focus my worry on the Bermuda Triangle instead.

                                      That is a fantastic description of the sound/feeling of a close tornado. It really is like a freight train turned up to 11 with added constant groaning explosions.

                                        I was terrified of these when I was little, but fortunately they’re not that common in Yorkshire. I made the decision to focus my worry on the Bermuda Triangle instead.

                                        That's how they get you. You're occupied thinking about Bermuda Triangle and walk right into quicksand!

                                          It can destroy whole cities. They are likely 2-3 miles away or more. It is way WAY bigger that you are imagining.

                                          There are other people past the car looking at it, so probably real.
