Understanding Tornado Intensity with the Fujita Scale

Preacher No, that was a good size twister. What was it, an F-3?

Bill Solid F-2.

Melissa See, now you've lost me again.

Bill It's the Fujita Scale. It measures the intensity of a tornado by how much it eats.

Melissa Eats?

Bill Destroys.

Lawrence The one we encountered back there was a strong F-2, F-3 maybe.

Beltzer Maybe we'll see some F-4's today.

Haynes That would be sweet!

Bill 4 is good. 4 will relocate your house very efficiently.

Melissa Is there an F-5? What would that be like?

[silence falls over the group]

Preacher ...The Finger of God.

Melissa None of you have ever seen an F-5?

Bill ...Just one of us.

Nickname Origins in a Storm Chasing Crew

Melissa I was just wondering why do you call Billy "The Extreme"?

Dusty Cause Billy is The Extreme.

Preacher Bill is most out-of-control sonofabitch in the gang!

Bill No, I think I came in 2nd.

[Gives Jo a look, who smirks back]

Dusty Oh, I've seen The Extreme in high gear.

Jo You guys need to come up with some new stories. I'm gonna go clean up.

[Leaves to take a shower]

Dusty So we get this one near Daleton right?

Rabbit Oh, god.

Dusty And we are way too close. And Jo's got the vid on it right, she's filming it. And all of the sudden outta nowhere, this shitty lookin green Valiant comes pulling up right in the way.

Beltzer And this loser stumbles out of the car, he's got like a bottle of Jack Daniel's in his hand...

[points to Bill]

Dusty He is naked!

Rabbit He is buck naked.

Beltzer Naked!

Bill NOT naked! I was not naked!

[laughter]

Beltzer He was without apparel.

[whispering into Melissa's ear]

Bill Half naked.

Dusty Naked. Ok, so Jo's yelling at him to get out of the way, right? And he just strolls up to the twister, says have a drink', and he chucks the bottle into the twister, and it NEVER hits the ground.

[laughter]

Beltzer The twister caught it and sucked it right up!

Bill Honey, this is a tissue full of lies. See, there was another Bill, an evil Bill, and I killed him.

Dusty I LOVE THIS GUY!

Analyzing the Tornado's Path and Movement

Jo What're you doing? What're you doing?!

Jo Are you sure?

Bill Oh yeah, it's definitely a sidewinder...It'll move left.

Melissa Is that bad?

Bill Wasn't there a road back there–?

Jo You're right. Go, go, go, go, go!

Eddie Uh, Dr. Miller?

Jonas Shit, shit, IT'S MOVING AWAY! God!

[Looks up and sees the tornado's new heading]

Eddie Looks like they're gonna intercept.

[Sees Bill's team down a different road]

Jonas Dammit, Tony, I thought you told me this thing was gonna stay on the same heading!

[Looks with his binoculars in surprise at where Bill's team is]

Corporate Ambition vs. Scientific Integrity

Bill Jonas! Son of a bitch!

Melissa Who is that honey?

Bill Jonas Miller. He's a nightcrawler. We all started out working in the same lab, but Jonas went out and got some corporate sponsors. He's in it for the money not the science. He has a lot of high tech gadgets, but he's got no instincts, and he doesn't have Dorothy.
