Did anyone see that programme last night about those American Freaks that the government and news broadcasts spend thousands of dollars on going around states in large jeeps with state of the art equipment chasing tornados, and lightning.
Some people have all the luck?
What i would not give to do that all my life, but the funny think was they where all going down this long road about 40 miles long. With about 15 chases on the tail of this storm. Just before they hit it all the amatures stop and get out of there old fords to admire it. While these professionals carry on till they are on top of the storm and a tornado started then they are driving through this town and the roof of a large house blows off nearly kills them and they are all saying "Wow, i bet that looks good on camera" and "Mummy would be proud". They stop and turn and a bolt of lghtning hit a pylon and the flash and bang nearly blinds them and the pylon nearly hit there car and they are all screaming.......
"Yeah ha" and giving each other 'high fives'. Don't you just love the americans.
