Is it just me or does every clip from the midwest showing a tornado also have the compulsory whooping, screeching, near-orgasmic comments from the chaser-crews? I saw a clip a couple of years ago that was phenomenal...some guy was set up on the side of a highway on sticks as a tornado came RIGHT at him...he quietly held his shot as the thing came within what looked like a hundred yards or so, chewing up the real-estate...I even heard him whispering into a cellphone at one point to someone "I think I'm going to have to get out of here"...That was amazing...
Now, I see Ma and Pa Kettle in the pickup-with the twister about a mile or so away in the background-hootin' and hollerin' like there's no tomorrow - The news readers always seem to have tongue-in-cheek comments after these clips...Maybe these are Rosenblum-trained shooters...
I'm trying to figure out if they're excited because A) It's an incredible act of nature or B) They're going to make some $$$ or C) Both
Seriously, shooting a twister is something I'd like to do one day before I croak...
