You Might Need A Change Of Shorts After Watching This Tornado In Kansas

May 25, 2016

Especially if you’re watching from somewhere inside that farmhouse on the left.

Sticking around to capture footage of a tornado instead of hightailing it the other way is probably near the top of the list of things you shouldn’t do. I mean, just ask Cary Elwes.

But for American meteorologist and storm chaser Reed Timmer, it’s a way of life. Check out this dandy he had the stones to stick around for Tuesday evening just outside of Dodge City:

We’re not saying we don’t appreciate the footage, as seeing something that terrifying up close is definitely satisfying when you’re over 1,500 miles away. But damn, son. Be careful.
