"My heart is like a puppy chasing a tornado.. young, dumb, and full of love. I always wonder why they run away when they come, I never seem to think of what would happen when I finally catch one.. "
We're not in Kansas anymore toto - eUë

The "Walk."
Video by Jalynne Dutton
It isn't just that it's "knee" bends as it "steps" forward: It's that you can also see her "hands."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
To give you an idea of what I see/sense when I look at this: Here's Gramaw.
Tumblr media
Now. I don't want to stir up anymore "Native American Legend = Dead Man Walking Tornado" misinformation. I will say many native cultures believe that storms are intelligent "Entities" of some sort that can be spoken with and reasoned with. Some don't believe the same. Many believe there are spirits in the sky and that storms are either part of that spirit, a spirit of its own, or are caused by a spirit (such as Red Horse or Thunder Spirits / Frog Medicine.) And some natives even do believe that "If you see a man in a tornado you are about to die" because they were taught as much, but taught so after someone with authority came into contact with that misinformation and co-opted it.
But to believe there are spirits, entities, beings, or even "man" in the clouds/in the sky/inside storms/inside twisters, is not a set of beliefs that are totally outside of the scope of all native belief systems.
I for one think if you *sense* an entity in a storm, you should take cover. If it feels like the storm is watching you, if you get that eerie feeling, just get underground. Even if you don’t believe in spirits or supernatural things, understand that That feeling is produced by neurochemicals, and those neurochemicals had about a billion more years of "experience" with surviving natural selection at any point. So listen to that feeling, because the ancient people that didn't develop that neurochemical reaction to bad storms probably didn't survive and reproduce like your ancestors did. Trust your neurons.

🌪️Top Gun Twisted 🌪️
A Top Gun Maverick- Twister AU
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Premise:
Jake, Natasha and Bradley are three scientists and storm chasers at the top of their field. Jake, though he doesn’t ever talk about it, lost his parents in a storm when he was little and has dedicated his life to fixing the warning system ever since. He’s a natural in the field and has even been described as knowing what a tornado is thinking by the way the blond always seems to know where the storm is headed.
Natasha meanwhile is all about the readings. A meteorologist major, she is their human barometer, always keep track of the pressure, the wind strength and potential for destruction.
Bradley is a bit more by the book and cautious than the others but is just as brillant as his teammates. He’s worked harder to be respected in this field, taking a few more years in school than Jake and Natasha but he is the most well liked of the three and therefore is the one sent out for grant proposals. Not everything in storm chasing comes as naturally to Bradley but he makes up for it with his knack for directions and navigation, and of course his resilience.
The trio works great for a while until soon their styles just don’t seem to be meshing as well. Natasha and Jake can’t seem to realize that they both are falling for the other and start to turn harsher (much to Bradley’s chagrin as he is subjected to listen to both sides of their ridiculous arguments).
One day during a chase, Jake insists that a tornado is going to turn. Bradley disagrees and Nat sides with the older scientist. Hurt, Jake takes his car and heads the other way, convinced that he is right and leaves the others behind. Without the combined efforts of their trio, the team ends up in a dangerous position and all three almost lose their lives in the storm. Bradley is livid at Jake’s selfishness but Jake is mad that his opinion was dismissed so much because it didn’t agree with Bradley’s textbook. The two come to blows and Natasha is tasked with diffusing the situation.
The next day Jake announces he is leaving for good. He asks Natasha to join him but the woman just shakes her head and says she is staying with Bradley to finish their commitments to the lab. Devastated and broken-hearted, Jake leaves the two and starts his own research team.
A few years later Jake is informed by Dr. Simpson that a benefactor is willing to sponsor their lab. This generous man is only known as Iceman in the science world and Simpson informs Jake that Ice’s money is only theirs if Jake agrees to partner with a few other scientists. Jake is reluctant at first but their lab fees are adding up and he could use the funds. He agrees and heads out to Oklahoma with his best friend Javy, and scientist Fritz to meet this new team. It ends up being Natasha and Bradley’s squad.
It seems that Iceman managed to get a hold of some of Jake’s designs on a sensor that if put in a tornados path, could collect enough information to help increasing the warning system. Bradley and Natasha are now trying to put it together but they need Jake’s help to finish it up and eventually test it in the fields.
With the chance to give people more time to get out of a tornado’s path (something his parents never got) Jake has no choice but to agree to help.
Unfortunately for him this decision puts him back into the path not only of some of Mother Nature’s deadliest storms but also with the woman that broke his heart years ago.
It’s going to be a bumpy ride

i consider tornadoes to be a pretty legitimate risk when it comes to natural disasters in europe, but people tend to not have much of a grasp on them occurring outside of tornado alley in the usa. i follow this guy for a couple years now and he is a huge recommendation to follow if you are interested in tornadoes. i am grateful that he did such a well-researched video on tornadoes in europe, and i am also kinda glad that the areas he marked as most active, are the same areas i personally have considered to be remarkably active compared to others. definitely worth a watch!
