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».
