Tornado video

Spending about seven of my first twelve years on the edges of tornado alley (Lubbock, TX and Denver, CO) left me with fascination and awe for tornados. Reading Heavy Weather (and of course the movie Twister a year later) opened my eyes to the interesting technology and science of the storm chasers in the 90's.

The other day I was watching a replay of a Nova episode from last year on the subject. It's interesting to see how the science is progressing.

This week National Geographic has some new video (beware slow loading flash) from a probe that scored a direct hit on an F4. Neat stuff! It'd be cool to be working on tornado probe technology.
