At the end, it was like a finger, trying to find a way to touch the ground against somewhere to go do some more.

Tornadoes are terrifying to me.

Someone once suggested I watch these videos to get over my phobia of them. I wonder why it is considered a phobia, unless it is because it does affect me so bad when there is severe weather and a tornado watch around me. I mean, having 95% of a town wiped off the map (Greensburg, KS) and seeing how many people get killed each year is enough to make fearing the things the smart thing to do. I'm trying my damnedest to replace the fear with something else. So, I go ahead and watch the videos.

I have reoccurring tornado dreams: they're never "scary" just sort of beautiful in a way. I have *no* idea what that means from a dream/physiology standpoint....

Including the person filming. Haven't they ever watched the movie, "Twister"? Where those things can turn on a dime?

This guy has either never seen Twister

Or seen it way too many times and envisions himself as one of the chasers.
