If you get your dumb ass blown off the roof you should be able to get at least one picture on the way down.

Preferably of your face.

;)

Enjoy yourself, I kinda envy the chance to witness it. Then again I want to see a tornado up close & personal too, so maybe I'm just crazy.

Trust me, when one comes right at you it's not a nice feeling.

I'm sure it's not, I don't want to get THAT up close & personal.

Just close enough to hear/feel it.

Had one go overhead and it touched down about 2 miles away. Can't say as I'd ever want to see that again.

I think i'd be cool to be the only person around in the building. Kinda like you are the king of the castle. :D

(or the captain going down with his ship) :p

I saw a couple in the works. The night of my HS Graduation party, I was watching some storms forming, and saw in a 20 minute span about 14 funnels drop out of the clouds. 3 of them dropped far enough that I thought they would touch, but they ended up going back up into the cloud. It was completely amazing. I only wish I had my camera with me at the time. Canon AE-1 at the time. Yes, it was before digital cameras were a viable option any decent pics.

Take a big sheet. Tie it to your wrists and ankles. Tie a rope around your waist and to something on the roof. THEN go up there....

Same here. I'd like to move down to florida some day. Build myself a little concrete bunker thingy in my lawn with some 1/2" plexiglass windows and then when the hurricane came I'd be golden. Put some tasty munchies in there, a good book, comfy chair. That'd be sweet :p

i ve been up to the roof a few times so far today and it has been a lot of fun. the winds gust to 50mph and it really blows you around. not to much rain. will be going back up there in a little when the winds get a little stronger here.
