“HURRICANE, n. An atmospheric demonstration once very common but now generally abandoned for the tornado and cyclone.

It is also used in the construction of the upper decks of steamboats, but generally speaking, the hurricane's usefulness has outlasted it.”
Ambrose Bierce
“You can climb a mountain or jump out of a plane but can never tame a hurricane or tornado - that's for sure. It's one of the last frontiers that no one will ever conquer.”
Roger Hill
“This young man's very lucky to be alive. Traveling any distance in a tornado and surviving is a big deal.”
Harold Brooks
