I've been iknown to drive hurriedly to the place where a tornado has been reported. Never got to see one on purpose, but it is the kind of thing I'd love to do.

Welcome to the Cellar, Wally.
We always have room for one more crazy SOB. You're crazy, you know? Didn't your mother tell you you're supposed to run THE OTHER WAY?

Great picture!
I opened the post with trepidation, wondering if perhaps it referred to chubby-chasers.... |

Awesome! The sound of wailing sirens still sends a chill through me. Down here, no one understands why.
As for chasing, that isn't an option since I live where I do, now. The damage path on the storms I see tends to be wide enough that the only option is for the storm to chase you! |

Living in Kansas for the last 15 years I've seen plenty of wall-to-wall wall clouds but I've only seen 1 tornado -- in Colorado. And it was struggling to rise from dust-devil stage to F1 category. But if there are warnings, I'm headed to the basement (not The Cellar )

Thanks to all for the warm and enthusiastic welcome - much appreciated.
Heh - in the photo above, you are actually looking at less than half of the tornado. This is the most dramatic I have ever seen. I wish I could say it was mine, but alas, it is not. I'm a couch chaser now - too old to run like hell anymore. If you liked this pic, here is another that should make you pucker - as dramatic a wall cloud as has ever been seen (by me anyway), |

Pushing my luck
Here is a photo of the April 10, 1079 F4 tornado that nearly destroyed Wichita Falls, Texas. Diameter at ground level is nearly 1.5 miles.
