I am fascinated by tornado's, such that it is on my bucket list to one day go chasing to see these things which have fascinated me for a long time. I grew up in a school district where a high school was leveled by an F5. Fortunately is was on a Saturday and no one was in the school at the time. The effect of this tornado was that anytime we had a tornado watch, the buses at my school would line up and we would get to go home for the day. I never have actually seen a tornado, and thus, in a weird way, I have all these good feelings of having a day off to play with tornado's.
Fast forward 40 years and I find that I work with heating and cooling systems and thus am well versed with many principles related to air, temperature, and water working together. I also got my training in chemical engineering, which gave me education on thermodynamics, physics, chemical reactions and physical reactions.
Often when you are working on a problem, the fixedness of the rules of the game that you work within have the ability to fix your thinking. I think that might be why I know how tornado's are formed and it seems that no one else does.
So in my posts that follow, I will describe my theories as to why.
