Anyone chase tornadoes?

I was working in a restaurant many years ago, and there were tornados touching down all over the place. Now, I live in Maryland which isn't a big tornado state. We have maybe 3 sitings per year. Anyway, this particular afternoon, it was raining hard and they had been calling for tornados all day. I was standing by the front door of the restaurant and say one going down the middle of the road. It was actually funny. There were no cars on the road, but the tornado seemed like it was a car, chugging down the center of the road. Since that time, I have also wanted to spend a vacation tornado chasing. I'll have to wait until my youngest gets a bit older. She's 5. But I would love to take the whole family.

Being as i know you are scared of bridges, the best bit about last year was thundering over a very open bridge in pursuit of the tornado. We flashed over that bridge at the speed limit and all because the radio announcement had given a warning for some miles beyond. Still, it was all exciting stuff and included the pair of us following a brilliant lightning storm, across at least 2 states heading back up to Minnesota. It's envigorating stuff - this year we'll see one for real :)

I have never even seen a real tornado, but did witness the live fury of a full force Hurricane. I was in Cuba in the late 90's when Hurricane Michelle hit and it was a wonder to behold first hand.. Sure gives you an idea of Mother Nature's power.

Good luck in Tornado Alley. Last summer I was driving through there and I saw seven tornadoes in one day. Watch to see which way they're going, and make sure that you're not in its path. Other than that I think you should be alright.
