he's probably more stupid for recording his speedo at 120mph and then showing his face and posting it on the internet

We get worse winds than that in England regularly. In fact, we had a tornado here in Lincoln last Sunday.

That was an F1 at best, no snapped trees. Still the guy is a fool.

Nope, you just can't fix stupid. I would consider others in vehicles as stupid as he.

Just saw the video.. and what an idiot! Definitely agree this how NOT to chase a storm.

While there are no official guidelines to chasing, I find this one the best example to lead on:
Chase Safety

I've been closer than this fellow to a twister but not because I tried to be. I find it hard to believe anyone chases these things. It's sort of like snake-handling.

Anyone want to see a tornado, come stay with me a week in Hale County, Texas. I can almost guarantee you'll see one in the spring. Bring a camera and a backbone. I have the storm cellar.
