    I could only imagine what a sudden overnight wake up call to the sirens going off would be like!

    First ya'd get Pat all like ... " Ahh mate , its only a car alarm ... go back asleep " .......

    Then ya'd have John running in ... " Sh** lads ! , tornado sirens!! , quick get everyone up! Wheres me laptop!?... Dave what did u make me drink last night my head is spinnin! " ....

    Then ya'd have Arron and Dave..... " Sirens ye?.... ah k cool sweet ... just gonna pop in for a quick shower so , shall be out in 10 mins ... Arron do ya have any spare dax wax , never know who we might run into down in the shelter?"

    Then ya'd hav Tom running down the hallway ... " Sirens , Tornado SIRENS!! .....Everyone down to the basement! .... Im just heading out to the car to get my camera ! "..... * PAt * .. "Tom ! , grab mine too! , think it would be a SWEET timelapse pal! "

    Then Paul strolling out like a zombie ... " k everyone , i looked out my window and from what i can see , we have a low wall cloud to our NSWNE , rotation on it is PHENOMENAL , the storm looks to be kickin it at 40mph so we have approximately 10 mins to get to shelter! * .... THis could be my FIRST NIGHT-Time INTERCEPT at ... 3.05... AM ! Boo yawh!! ... *COughs* ... Now ... EVERYONE TO THE BASEMENT lets go lets go .... LETS GO LETS GO ! * MAkes Car beeping noise * ... GO GO GO!

    ME " Ohhhhhhh MY GOD !!! ..... http://cdn.nwstatic.co.uk/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.png , " everyone set there cameras on record ! .... Dave what settings u gonna use?" .... * walks casually to basment *

    Isn't now the perfect opportunity for a independent/freelancing site to jump onto the free-market that's suddenly become avaliable by this. There's a hundred and one documentaries flying around but only the ITV one with Nick and Laura I think it was (apologies if I got the names mixed up) that has come close to replicating anything more true to form.

    A netweather team filming a docu-film in the same context would not only offer a more realistic contrast to what actually goes on in terms of planning for a chase, the actual chase itself and interception. But the more humanistic high and low points of a trip when things don't quite turn out as planned, be it through logistics or mother nature herself. I would much rather support a weather site and actual weather enthusiasts doing this, than paid "actors" more or less being asked to recreate a scene for added effects.

    Hey,

    The BBC had Great British Weather on earlier this year and have a new show coming out in a few months.

    Not sure if there's the audience to justify a UK version. Speaking for a TV point of view.

    If you want to develop the idea let me know as I'm and ex tv bod who helped on the above.
