Important events of tornadoes

For most people, the sight of a terrible storm is undoubtedly a scene of hell on earth, but for some people, it is their dream to experience a tornado at full speed.

The tornado corridor extends from the Rocky Mountains to the Appalachian Mountains. Since 2000, the couple have taken nearly 65,438+0,500 people to the Midwest to watch tornadoes at close range.

Storm chasers, after the weather forecast shows that extreme weather may occur in a certain place, will immediately jump on off-road vehicles and gallop to the target location, record the scene with cameras or video cameras, and follow tornadoes, hail, lightning, rain and snow.
