Chapters
So have you ever experienced a hurricane? Have you been? I have not yet, but that is actually on my list of things to do. Yes. So I actually have a coworker of mine. He's real influential in kind of my love for weather. And he and I will actually go chasing. We went this year. He got us really close to a tornado and I was actually uncomfortably close. So how close was that? I would say about 50 yards. 50 yards? Yeah. It wasn't on purpose. It just formed right out of the blue on the leading edge of a storm. How big was that one? It was actually almost like a dust devil, I would say, but it was a real tornado. Okay. Okay.
