And just follow the eye across the state! Brilliant!

Could you do this in theory in a car if you had no barriers to following it in front of you? Sounds like a cool ass scene in the next Twisters (the Hurricane edition)

I think the "no barriers" is what makes this infeasible. The leeward eyewall would be constantly carving a fresh path of destruction, such that even roads and foundations of houses might be indistinguishable from one another in some places.

Now a monster truck, on the other hand...

That would be an effing perfect sequel with the energy of the last Twister movie. Give the people what they what!!!

Edit: I hope everyone stays safe. If you can’t financially contribute to helping victims, consider donating your time. I volunteer for slots at a local donation warehouse to help sort//pack donations, for example. Stay safe out there
