Is stormchasing like what I saw in the movie Twister?

Not so much. Twister’s groovy, my chase partner Marcia and I watch it at the end of every chase season to laugh hysterically at inaccurate dialogue (“It’s a sidewinder!”). And sometimes we do shout, “It’s the POWER OF NATURE, baby,” while we’re chasing.

But Twister doesn’t accurately portray the real experience of chasing, which is less a wild adrenaline slalom than a scientifically based game of atmospheric chess. For instance, instead of maniacally pursuing tornadoes, you’re putting yourself in the place where they might form. You do this through scrupulous, careful forecasting and hundreds of miles of driving.

Once you get to your target, you hurry up and wait at gas stations, truck stops, and dirt-road intersections. Meanwhile, you fine-tune your forecast to find your tornadoes—which, also unlike in Twister, rarely drop conveniently one after another from the sky. Did you know most tornadoes occur over unpopulated areas and for less than 30 seconds?

Finding one in the 1500 miles ...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
