摘要

The sky was black, and getting blacker. The hens began to go round in circles, and the horses ran out of the barn. Uncle Henry and the men were shouting, clutching on to their hats. Bundles of weeds blew past, then whole small trees. A wide black column loomed on the horizon. The wind howled like an express train, and Dorothy and Toto were struggling to get through the gate. But no sooner were they safe in the farmhouse than the windows fell in, and the whole house took off into the storm, tumbling through the inky clouds…That was the moment Tim Samaras got hooked on tornadoes. He was six, and watching "The Wizard of Oz" only because his mother had forced him to. He never forgot the big, black, beastly monster rampaging over the plain. But he also thought how beautiful it was. The word "beauty" often sprang to his lips when he talked about them. Beauty in the towering, narrowing funnel, the continuous roaring, the smell of grass fresh-scythed by the wind and earth torn open by it: the sheer power of what Mother Nature could do. No video game could touch it. No movie, either.
