"I just saw an interview on the Weather Channel of a woman shouting over the howling winds [with palm trees bending all around her] saying how much she loved the 'power' of the storm.
Some of us are also frustrated' by people who needlessly risk their lives "
So true, we have to remember there are real people out there who are "adreniline junkies". They get a rush out of storm chasing. There was a segment I saw once on how many people are addicted to cable t.v.'s "The Weather Channel". There are vacation trips where Europeans come to America and go on storm chasing "tours" to see tornados! Too weird for my comprehension. Different strokes for different folks.
Speaking of adrenaline jinkies.. How did Darwin Award Candidate NEWSBOY TODD make out. Last I heard his Van was being pelted with debris and he was watching the Holiday come apart in front of him, then his cell phone went out.
I work with a fellow whose wife if addicted to the Weather Channel. He's not complaining as it cured her of her previous addiction - the PTL channel - she sent them nearly everything he earned!

Shoot if they wanted a thrill, they could have rode with me years ago when I drove a cab that used to be a police car. That wuz fun!
