Though No matter how much progress will ever be made, and though it’s always forgotten with time, the truth that we seemingly always wish to forget is that our race, try we may, will never fully conquer the world we inhabit,

As there will always be something bigger, Something more horrific than anyone can imagine,

And it comes from the sky.

🌪️ Welcome to Vortex! a Work In Progress Storm Chasing Simulator which aims among many things to capture a more human side of the impact of severe weather and its consequences on landscape, community, and more then anything the hearts and minds of the people it effects—the wonders of nature, and what happens when those who seek it out are faced with the might of its wrath. 

🌾 Situated Between the county lines of Tuscaloosa and Jefferson lies the rural farmlands of Cyclone County, Central Alabama. A strong spirit for the southland, the townspeople of this part of the country have seen their fair share of dark days, yet fighting back to their feet when the clouds roll back, its seemingly apparent that almost nothing can falter the pride the people born and raised to call it home have for this stretch of land.

🌅 In a world of brilliance, awe, confusion and unforgettable misfortune, The sky is all but your best friend. Under the heat of the Sun, and surrounded by the twinkling stars which come out in the Moonlight, With The showers it provides to keep life moving on, and what you look up to for answers when you can’t find them in yourself, there’s no argument in that fact.

But what the sky can give—

can take away all the same.

⛈️ Witness the fingers of god as they dance across the landscape of what weather enthusiasts across the globe have come to know as “Dixie Alley.” Stare into the eyes of death as you fight a war with the wind to measure its speed, survey its destruction, and for those who desire something more—Drive spikes into the clay to plow though the Shadow to which the Valley of Death resides—With No Guarantee that the price for your Hubris will not come back to take you with it when it ascends once more.

Some may call it crazy, Some may think it’s insane, And though those whom know better may be correct, The secrets our planet keeps from mankind are to alluring to simply dismiss.

“The Sky’s The Limit.”
