I know some storm chasers that fly around to film these things, Weather channel is my favorite station, I use to be glued to the tv when Dr.George Fishbeck did his documentarys back in the late 70's. Best news team ever was Jess Marlow, Christine Dunphy, Ted Dawson and Dr George.

This is just lovely.....The Chesapeake Bay is HUGE though , so hopefully it won`t be that bad....We had hurricane Agnes in the 70`s that wiped out my whole town when I was a kid.

I have actually seen this firsthand after a tornado in Iowa. UNREAL!
