Storm Talk

There is an amazing wealth of subjects out there to be geeky about. For a small subset of geeks, asking about the weather isn't just making small talk; it's an invitation to launch into a detailed analysis of the "thermodynamic properties of tornadic and nontornadic RFDs." Um, okay... I'm sure that makes sense to someone out there.

This dude I know named Matt Grzych (don't even bother trying, it's pronounced "grish") has just started a cool little blog called "Storm Talk". He's got some sort of sick fascination with spinning clouds, a.k.a. tornadoes. I'm a Florida boy; I love hurricanes, but tornadoes scare the shit out of me. Some sort of left over paranoia from childhood. Anyway, this guy will actually go chasing after tornadoes and the insane storms that produce them. Per his profile, "Rear flank downdrafts continue to interest me... so there may be lots of RFD talk in my blog. " All right! I'm interested in rear flanks... What's that? ...I'm being told that he's not referring to boodies. Shoot! And I was all excited to read the papers he's published on them!

Anyway, head on over and check out the sciency coolness of some bad-ass storms at Storm Talk.
