I've always been fascinated with severe weather, living in MN I've had to hide from tornados a few times, and even saw one FORM, rip up a farm field, and then die within 5 minutes, all about 5 miles from where we pulled off the road.
3 years ago my friend and I went chasing a big storm with a bunch of radios (ham, CB, his military one) and a bunch of other equipment hoping to actually see something, but it didnt quite break and we gave up.
Maybe this summer I can get my friends together for another mission or 2
