I have been here nearly 40yrs...and I am used to it, just not used to the current facilities we have here at the FAA.

I miss the good old Oklahoma T storms. South Carolina's pretty much sucked. Some ok ones, but not the super cells I grew up with. Korea never got a really good T storm, and Germany, well they are pretty non existant here.

As a kid I would climb on the roof and watch funnel clouds form. Thats a pretty cool sight. Of coarse I came flying off once lightening got too close.

Heck I even tried for weather when I joined the airforce. But they needed bodies in F-16 Avionics so here I am.

i love the cool breeze thunderstorms bring. i've never seen a tornado or even a funnel cloud really.

I wrote a paper on tornadoes not too long ago. May help some of you understand a tornado, somewhat.

We have been under a tornado warning here for the past 30 minutes. Everyone at work is hanging out in the hallway downstairs where my office is. I guess a tornado moved over the city but didn't touch down.

I remember when my best friend and I saw the movie Twister.
Afterward, we figured when they were chasing the twisters in that truck down the road with stuff blowing all over the place, at the part where they're trackign and trying to find the tornado, they should have seen a sign at the roadside pointing to an access road, that read, "TRAILER PARK --> THIS WAY" Then one of them would have screamed, "TURN TURN TURN!! It'll head THAT way!"
