  3. THE DESTRUCTION! • We also need to know what the tornadoes do and the destruction of them. • The way tornadoes are measured is on Enhanced Fujita scale. Usually it is called E.F. • Tornadoes are similar cyclones they have five different categories.

  9. The Start • As we checked the monster for the millionth time, we were filled with excitement and we were a bit scared but the excitement of it over took it. The monster was our truck. • We geared up ourselves and then we went…

  10. Here Stormy, Stormy • Uruhh, it has been 5 days and I’m already bored. I don’t know how long this is going to take. I keep joking about going on this trip and not even seeing anything. • The storm footage that I saw before was actually quite creepy. I imaged myself turning the monster around and pretty much running away.

  11. Hurry up! • Now it has been 5 boring weeks of driving around doing nothing but siting and waiting. NOTHING ELSE!!!! As you can probably tell I am not happy, I am very bored. At the moment I am considering of abandoning this and going back to my normal job. • OH MY GOD it has been 7 completely boring weeks. We are actually starting to try and turn around at the moment. I don’t know how the other storm chasers stand it. I guess they are probably used to it and we haven’t exactly had much experience, but still it is boring. We have swapped over with the driving and the navigating several times.

  12. WE ARE GOING! Stuff this we are going! This is boring and we haven’t even seen anything.
