when i was younger (high school/college age) and up thru the 2000's, I was fairly ate up with severe weather. I wanted to chase storms before it was popular.

After being involved with joplin for a week straight, i lost all interest in storms..
it was sickening. i didn't take a single picture during that week.
folks would send me books, articles, videos of the storm and aftermath and i never looked at any of it.

i hope everyone impacted is okay.
