Tornado Hunter

by Jeff

Image text: The Fujita Scale was replaced by the Enhanced Fujita Scale in 2007, but I think 'EF-5' sounds stupid, so I vote we just use the new measurements for assigning numbers but still call them 'F-whatever'.

This is a riff on the show Discovery Channel show, Storm Chasers, in which they try to get as close to a tornado as possible with their highly tuned instruments.

This comic is a cross between Storm Chasers and a typical animal hunt in which the animal is shot and mounted as a prize.

The Fujita Scale is a hurricane rating system in which the size and strength of the tornado is rated based on damage on the ground from the tornado and wind speed.

  1. The Fujita and Enhanced Fujita scales are tornado rating systems, the Saffir-Simpson scale measures hurricanes.
