apparently its very still but the idea of standing in that uber calm and have total raging chaos around you intrigues me as does extreme weather especially wind and storms, a charged atmosphere like that is just amazing. Dont get me wrong i know many people suffer through extreme weather and i feel for them but its the actual phenomena and power that intrigues me not the destruction to life and property. Any comments or experiences would be great, also i am thinking of a tornado holiday so any advise or experiences there would be welcome too.

I understand exactly what you are saying......
Have you ever heard of one of these??????
multiple vortex tornado is a tornado that contains several vortices rotating around and inside of and part of the main vortex. These multiple vortices are very similar to eyewall mesovortices found in intense tropical cyclones. The only times multiple vortices may be visible are when the tornado is first going through genesis. They are responsible for most (if not all) cases where narrow arcs of extreme destruction lie right next to weak damage within tornado paths.
I am amazed at what the weather can do!!!!!!!!!!!

I've never been in a tornado but my ex-wife has been. She said she looked up and saw a car spinning around in the vortex.
I lived through Katrina and it was awful. The wind blew like mad for hours with no let up and I saw huge trees falling over like dominoes.

You can't "stand in the middle of a tornado". Forget it. They don't have eyes. Hurricanes, yes. Tornadoes, no. Don't believe what you see in the movies.

I've seen on TV that people have done this with the really, really big ones. But, the normal sized ones, no. The center is too small.
