Neat take! I've always liked tornadoes (as in, the funnels that spin down from the sky, not the destruction and devastation they cause). Fascinating how still clouds can rotate and produce a fast-spinning funnel of air. Or, rather, the funnel of air is pushed down by pressure. I can't even imagine what being in an F5 would be like.

Volcanoes also fascinate me. As do hurricanes, mainly because they can produce tornadoes. Earthquakes are strange as well when you think about them. Mother nature is scary, but beautiful at the same time.
