I get this all the time....Black clouds with storms producing tornadoes. Where I live is apart of what's called Tornado Alley-basically where the most tornadoes are produced between April-October. You get to see some weird clouds and weather.

Yeah....the thing is when they tornadoes produce they are so beautiful and yet you want to be several miles (km) away...The biggest one was called an Ef5 (based on the Fugita scale) it was a mile and a half wide with winds up to 315 mph!! And some are even bigger than that but I don't remember what the wind speed was. There was on in Oklahoma that demolished a town....It was Greensburg, Kansas...Image The top is before and bottom is after....this is all within a 6-8 hour period!!!!!

yeah...that was a devastating tornado. Biggest one on record. You're right. When being a storm chaster, you get to see this amazing feat but after you see it you have the question of "is this system going to any towns or is it staying in this field? But they are way cool to see over water!!! Image
