I'm a meteorologist, and I occasionally chase tornadoes. I take pics from the car with windows up, because I don't fool with lightning. I can stay a safe distance from a tornado. Lightning is a different animal.

You ever come chasing down around B.R. Holler at me . I can video and still shoot.

My biggest fear is lightning. Had a couple close calls when i was young and it stuck with me ever since. Anyone who knows me can tell u im deathly afraid of it. If i see a cloud turning dark in the direction i have to go i start game planning. I had it pop really close to me one time in toledo bend. So close that you could smell like the atmosphere burning. Weird. Then one time stopped at a stop sign south of lc 2 horses standing under a chicken tree got popped. One dropped dead and the other took off across the field with his mane on fire. Came back later and he was dead in the field. Been terrified ever since.

Sounds good! I can't believe I haven't seen a waterspout in all my beach time. I'm sure it'll happen.
