1. what a fucking dumbass -
See, this is why I should be in charge of the cosmic smite button. If people are that willing to court death, I'm willing to let 'em have it!

2. It's hard to NOT stand there and look though.
I understand where you are coming from though. They COULD put the camera in front of the window and get to safety, not stand there and say stupid shit. :eyes:

3. I totally get the whole morbid curiosity thing -
but I lived in tornado alley for years. When you've got a family at home that depends on you, getting your adrenaline fix by filming a tornado is just about the dumbest thing you can do. I kept thinking of the TTU Wind Science and Engineering Research vids I've seen of 4x4 pieces of wood being driven almost completely through a wall. You can't hide from that kind of wind power just by shutting a door. It's monumentally stupid. If you're really that much of an adrenaline junkie, go sky diving or bungee jumping. Or troll GD for a bit. But filming a tornado just a few hundred yards away? That's just asking for death.
