Too Close For Comfort

Posted by Algonkin in Video Clips on April 8, 2008 at 1:03 pm


I often wonder when these so called storm chasers will meet mother nature’s fury face to face only to end up dead. This clip demonstrates the braveness or stupidity (you be the judge) of these guys. And to top it off, they’re chasing the tornado with the car in reverse.

    posting 'first' is lame. The storm chasers are nature's paparazzi. The tapes they get of the tornado can be sold for $100,000 or more to major media outlets like CNN and the BBC.

    Agreed DanO. I removed it. Algonkin

    Are these guys mental? I have a feeling that Joel definitely didn't want to be there.

    These guys seem like amateurs. Not a good thing to have in a line of work like storm-chasing.

    But I do have to give them props for the footage.

    Great footage. I can't believe how close they got.

    Even if it's not the smartest move, it looked so cool I can see how they would find it hard to resist. Plus, there weren't any flying cows, which, from what I saw of Twister, are the true sign of a nasty tornado.

    I would like to do that sometime I think it would be fun. My baby sister was born WHILE a tornado was happening. It was a pretty cool time though.

    I was in total agreement with the stupid music- way to totally mess up the whole clip.

    I grew up with these things and seeing this did exactly what it used to do to me growing up: major rush, 'I'm-scared-but-can't-leave-dry-mouth-heart-pounding-wanna-see-it-wher e's-my-mom' sort of feeling. I miss them... and I don't.

    The music was unnecessary. I like how they didn't quite edit out the part where they drove through the stop sign.

    I got the feeling Joel was the less stupid of the two.

    They did a good job of keeping a safe distance, and were in the right place at the right time. That there is the Holy Grail for a storm chaser.

    Agreed; the soundtrack was totally unnecessary.
