Thrill Of The Chase

I love storms.  I guess I'm not alone, judging by the remarkable pictures posted by a multitude of amateur and professional storm chasers.  Not that I have any desire to be "swept up" in the thrill of a tornado, of course.  But there's something about a storm front coming through that's energizing.

Yesterday while having coffee with a friend, her husband considerately called to tell her a storm watch had been issued.  "Well, we were done with our coffee anyway," she said in a slightly disappointed tone.  "Yep," I said.  "Although my first impulse is to take pictures of the storm, not go home."

"Me too!" she said happily.

So we did.
