1. those things can change direction in a sec,
leap over buildings, and come at you a 90 mph. The LAST thing I would be doing would be standing there with my mouth open.

Any depression, low area, and I am diving for it.

5. That Tornado might look close but
its probably a good mile off, you have to be very careful about it but you can safely watch it from that distance, but you have to be ready to bolt and know where to go in case it does start coming at you. But I'd say 85% or more of the time a tornado is going to move northeast so if you set yourself up right you should be fine.

10. Or more!!
Every storm is different. :rofl: Professional Tornado Chasers have lots of tech today and some even use armored cars and can have a tornado pass right over then, like in discoveries show Storm Chasers.

6. You might as well through me in that batch then
because when ever there is a tornado I'm the one standing watching it. lol One of the "bucket list" items is to go storm chasing with a professional.
