This is right up my alley, altho none of the answers were fitting for me...
I am fascinated by storms...& for the past 5 years have been a trained weather spotter on the local civil defense team. Hubby & I are out sitting on a hill on the edge of town, overlooking the town, watching & reporting the storm movement...we stay in place until one of 2 things happens...the storm passes through with minimal danger to the people OR we need to take cover after the siren blows in town...we stay in contact with the command center & other spotters by radio...
It can be awesome...and it can be boring...but as long as the threat is there...we are out there!!
