“Tornadoes are too small to see using weather satellites, so Samaras can’t rely on these tools to fint a twister. Instead, he waits for tornadoes to develop.” (Các cơn lốc xoáy quá nhỏ để có thể sử dụng vệ tinh thời tiết, vì vậy Samaras không thể dựa vào những công cụ này để tìm lốc xoáy. Thay vào đó, anh ấy chờ cơn lốc xoáy phát triển.)
