There should be a special (often postumous) Darwin Award for people who stand their ground, capturing killer tornados not more than a half mile from their position.
@shoq tornados tended to leapfrog over my hometown so I've been around them quite a bit. Yes they can zigzag and go up and down but if you know the direction of the front and the stormline you have have a general idea which way they're heading. Hell you could be a half-mile behind where it's already been. They rarely backtrack
@lakelady All true, but there is no compelling reason to take such risk. Taking cover should be the priority, not catching dramatic photos. Most know what tornados look like. There’s not much reason or sense to risking any life just to take a picture of one more instance of one, imo.
