Some where in the west( Earth)

Scienctists are in disbeleif of the year insanely quite tornado season that was said to be the worst on record.

The years total count was expected at 1,850 but so far for the past 4 months have only produced less then 25 of that count and all were registered under SF2.( Strenghtened Furgitia Scale.)

Rescent signs of the unexpected weather patterens may have something to do with the suns 11 year cycle.

But on the bright side people all over the pains are happy of no threat from tornadoes.

Equestria

A S

A large outbreak of tornadoes rage through the west flatting several towns, injurying 62 and killing 3. Weather Mantaners have this to say.

We are exstremely conrerned for the weaher effects of this and for the past days was not created by any weather distract in a 1,000 mile radius and we are investitgating the uncontrolled weather patterns.

Canterlot

My lady we must do something of this problem.

Many lives are going to peices by the strange weather that we don't know how is being made.

I understand mayor.

I'll send out royal forces to help in the recovery prossess.

Some where in a field outside Ponyville

I was sitting infront of 5 computer screens. Watching as the imagen on each one changed.

I was sitting inside a Dow truck (Dopplar On Wheels) watching the weather to get a base line reading on the atmosphere.

I Knew that the weather was crontroled by the ponies of Cloudsdale and I knew that they could change it at anytime.

I was scanning the upper atmosphere where normal weaher would from.

Twilight sat outside with my laptop watching the scans in amazement of such a divice recording the weather changes.

She climb up into the cable to se more of the screens as I was raising the trucks Weather mass tower.

So how do you like being in a Dopplar truck.

Its great. I can learn soo much more about equestria's weather in real time.

I pointed at one of the screen showing a green and yellow mass.

See that. Thats a rain storm. The color show's the rains strenght from low green, med yellow to heavy red.

Fasinating...

Alright, lets pack up and get back to the fire house to upload the data.

Alright...

You do know I can still drive and you control the radar.

REALLY!

After getting everything packed up, Twilight getting comferable in the operators chair we went back to town.

Which dispite it's size has path ways solid enough and big enough to drive me vehicles on. We pulled in the firehouse and lowered the elevator to the labs. That I added when remodeling the lab thats no the size of Cantorlot's ball rooms combined.

After parking the truck we went back up stairs where Applejack and Rainbow Dash were doing so practice firing with their proton packs.

Hey guys.

ALR

Sup.

Getting some practice in for the packs I see.

Ya, but thats not why here.

Whats up?

Well you know about th crzy weather Equestrai has been having.

Yes

Well me and the others at cloudsdale have being tying to find out why its been happening and scent you have Storm Chased tornadoes we want to know if you be able to help us.

Hmmmm alright, but I need a way to get my vehicles up there.

That wouldn't be needed we have a ground station already up. You can just drive it them there.

Alright

We got back in the truck as Rainbow Dash lead the way.

ALRIGHT EVERYPONY MAKE WAY FOR THE BIG GUY.

We pulled in hocking the horn if anyone didn't listen with the ambre lights flashing with the dish rotating. I saw it was like a camp site with tents set up and several peasguses.

I stopped and turned off the truck.

Most to some of them were shocked at the site of me and large blue object. The rest look normal, Maybe because they saw me at the Gala and Nightmare night accidents.

A large pony walked up to greeted me.

Welcome to our little station Ben.

Thank you

Rainbow Dash says that you can aid us in this drastic times.

Well shes not wrong. All I got to do is set up and I'll be ready.

I turned back to the dow, turned the key starting the engine and lights again. Starteling some.

I hoped out and opened a large latch to another door that showed the entire inside of the trucks cab.

Twilight was even amazed at it.

I went over to a key borad next to the window, punched in a few letters starting the dish up.

It lower to point straight around as it began to rotate letting out a little win after the pass.

The screens light up in data charts, weather graghs and dopplar read out.

I pulled 5 levers down lifting the truck in the air with 5 large metal bars and finally raised the 40 foot tall tower.

She ready to go. Now we will be able to keep track of any storm activity around the next 1,000 miles.

And to make sure its a uncontroller I programed the radar to detect your workers if they spawn cloud even and if their not near the storm then We'll know.

For several hours I stared at the screens waiting for something to pop up.

Twilight bring me a drink at times to keep me stable.

Anything yet?

Nope, And this is the one part of the idea of storm chasing that no one likes... Waiting.

And question. how do your worlds tornado normal get formed.

Well a peagus must find a clear area where no wind is at. they fly in a circular form at the ground or the sky. They concentrate the wind to form the tornadoes size and shape then whats ever near it gets sucked up.

And for the past several days hat hasn't been the case.

Pretty much Dash said trotting over.

Anything yet?

Not much. At times a small rain storm that only lasts for about 5 mintues.

But I have been watching this one storm in paticuler.

I clicked the mouse showing a large ball of red and yellow.

A strong rain storm thats been getting a little stronger.

Owww, ALRIGHT WHO THREW THAT...!

We turned to see one of the workers on the ground rubing her.

You alright? Dash asked.

Ya but somepony dropped a heavy snow ball at me. She said pointing at a large white ball.

Thats some werid snow.

WAIT THATS NOT SNOW.

They turned to me in confusstion as I tusted my pocket knife breaking the ball into 2 perfect parts.

See these rings inside there water thats been frozen over and over again.

Its a baseball sized peice of Hail.

On cue another hail stone smashed through a nearby table.

Soon it was raining hail stones the size of grape fruit.

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! Some one shouted.

Me, Twilight and Dash ran back to the dow.

I quickly closed the dishes hail guard sheild to protect it as we piled into the cab.

After 3 minutes we walked out to see large hail stones and crators around us.

Several ponies coming out from a near by shed, under tables and even from underneath the truck.

Alright everyone it over now.

I opened the hail guard as a new scan came in.

No it's not.

Everyone looked over at me as I turned on a large screen outside the truck for everyone to see.

See that storm with the blue center... thats what just hit us.

Now look theres 18 more of them behind it.

Everyone's faces dropped at the sound of more stronger storms coming.

I need to get back to town and ready the sirens

Cantorlot

REPORTS OF TORNADOES ARE BEING REPORT JUST OUTSIDE THE TOWN LIMITS OF PONYVILLE...
