Storm Chaser Arrested In West Texas
Judge Slaps Restraining Order on Weatherman, Tells Him to Stop Harassing Tornadoes
A man who worked with the National Weather service was finally apprehended today after a long history of harassing tornadoes.
Brian Barnes was accused of stalking a number of different funnel-shaped clouds and attempting to take pictures of them.
“I felt so violated,” said one tornado that requested anonymity.
Tornado activists urged judges to impose a strict sentence on Barnes, saying that tornadoes are “too often the subject of leering, unwanted attention and, like any other residents of Texas, are entitled to their privacy.”
Barnes maintains that the photography was consensual, saying the tornado’s swirling, sensual movement was “clearly a sign of arousal.”
“At no point did the tornado say, ‘No pictures.’ If it had, I would’ve stopped,” said Barnes.
The case is expected to draw widespread attention from other weather phenomena with at least one hurricane hoping that “maybe now people will stop flying over me and taking pictures of my eye. ”
