Into the eye of the Storm
There’s a change in the sky. the clouds are gathering and there’s a rumble and howl in the distance. It first appears on the horizon — a funnel of violent air that rips through everything in its path. It’s a tornado, one of nature’s most destructive forces. It can pick up cars, rip trees out of the ground and demolish houses. Most of us would panic at this point, and take cover. But Warren Faidley grabs his camera, jumps in his car and heads right for the storm. Warren Faidley is a storm chaser and makes his living by capturing them in photographs or on video.
Warren’s photographs of the wild beauty and terrifying effects of extreme weather conditions have been used on posters and promotional material by celebrities. Some sell for up to $20,000. Also, his video footage has been shown on television around the world and he’s even worked as a consultant in Hollywood on the feature film that depicts his way of life, Twister.
Faidley’s first chase nearly killed him. “When I was twelve I was swept away by a flash flood. I was conducting my first ‘chase’ along the banks of a swiftly flowing river. Suddenly, the bank gave way and I fell into the floodwaters. I was carried under water and held my breath. Then my foot found a rock, and I stuck my head above the water. That had a profound effect on my life — I knew I had to live life to the fullest.»
He soon moved on to more profitable pursuits. “About a year after my near-death experience, I decided to ride my bike into the centre of a large dust devil, a much smaller type of tornado. After that, I formed a gang of kids and we’d chase after these mini-tornadoes. It was experiences such as these that gave me the confidence that eventually led to my first job, collecting deadly scorpions. Heavy rain storms drove them out of their hiding places and I dodged lightning bolts, collected the scorpions and sold them to an old man who put them into plastic paperweights to sell by the side of the road. Eventually, some parents found out about my near drowning, scorpion trade and dust devil adventures. The majority of the local kids were banned from hanging out with me.»
He says: “Chasing is extremely dangerous — especially when I started and there was no on board radar to show us where and when the tornado would hit. Recently, I was fleeing a terrible storm in Texas. The winds became so intense my chase truck could hardly move; rocks were being lifted and smashed into the windshield. I was literally being sucked into the tornado!» Of course, he survived to tell the tale.
Some motion picture companies have made inquiries into making a film based on his adventures, but Faidley says: «I’m not committed to anything yet. I’ve devoted my life to chasing and turned it into a milion-dollar career. I’m going to be very careful about giving it away.»
Faidley’s photography has been greatly admired. He explains, “As an artist, I’m always looking for that perfect shot. Someone once said: ‘Artists seek perfection in their work to make up for imperfections in their lives.’ That fits me. I’ve given up on any kind of serious personal fife or family and dedicated my life to my work. Chasing involves so many things I enjoy in life: adventure, danger, travel, science, friendships and, of course, the excitement.»

Перевод первых двух абзацев:

В небе что-то меняется. Облака собираются, и вдалеке слышится гул и вой. Сначала на горизонте появляется воронка яростного воздуха, которая сметает всё на своём пути. Это торнадо — одна из самых разрушительных сил природы. Оно может поднимать автомобили, вырывать деревья с корнем и разрушать дома. Большинство из нас в такой момент запаниковали бы и спрятались. Но Уоррен Файдли хватает камеру, прыгает в машину и направляется прямо к шторму. Уоррен Файдли — охотник за штормами и зарабатывает на жизнь, фотографируя их или снимая на видео.

Фотографии Уоррена с дикой красотой и пугающими последствиями экстремальных погодных условий использовались на плакатах и в рекламных материалах знаменитостей. Некоторые из них продаются за сумму до 20 000 долларов. Кроме того, его видеоматериалы показывали по телевидению по всему миру, и он даже работал консультантом в Голливуде над художественным фильмом, который изображает его образ жизни, — «Смерч».
