Near a tornado winds a very strong and the roar can be deafening. Many people have reported feeling their ears pop as the pressure dropped. Up close it is sometimes possible to clearly make out the debris that the tornado picks up. The funnel may appear translucent, especially around the edges.
The videos linked below contains some up close footage of tornadoes.
Meteorologists chase tornadoes because they can conduct research to better understand and predict them. Many storm chasers, though are not meteorologists, and just chase for the thrill or because tornadoes fascinate them.
The idea is that studying tornadoes, which sometimes means getting close to them, allows us to better understand them. A better understanding of tornadoes may help us predict them, which would mean better warnings for people who might be in the path of a tornado.

Some of the weirdest things that have been sucked up by tornadoes include cars, animals, and household items like furniture and appliances. In some rare cases, tornadoes have even picked up and carried heavy objects like trees or roofs for miles.
