We've always assumed that everybody would have the exact same reaction to seeing a tornado; especially one of this size, which is a swirling column of destruction towering high into the sky. That reaction would be to grab your most important and valuable items, lock up your house, and either run or drive in the opposite direction as fast as you possibly can. Audra Thomas, a resident of Nebraska, apparently doesn't think along those lines. Instead, she thought it was a perfect photo opportunity.
Her calmness about the situation is probably a product of being from Nebraska; this won't have been the first tornado she ever saw, and the folk who live down that way tend to know how far away a tornado is, how long they have to run away from it, and which direction it's coming in. That twister looks like it's a field away from Audra at most, but when the shot was snapped, the distance was actually over a mile.
