Once upon a time, there was a meteorologist named Max who lived in Tornado Alley. Max loved studying the weather and using his Doppler radar to track storms.
One day, Max noticed something strange on his radar. He saw a large supercell forming and a wall cloud that looked like it could produce a tornado.
Max quickly issued a tornado warning and told everyone in the area to take cover. People rushed to their safe places and waited for the storm to pass.
Soon, Max spotted a funnel cloud touching down and turning into a tornado. He rated it an F-3, which meant it was a strong tornado.
As the tornado moved away, Max noticed another type of storm forming over the water - a waterspout! He had never seen one before and was amazed by its beauty.
Max continued to watch the storm and issue tornado watches and warnings, making sure everyone was safe.
The end.
