Sve je međusobno povezano.
Kao Indijanka iz plemena Shinnecock,
odgajana sam s tim uvjerenjem.

As a Shinnecock Indian, I was raised to know this.

Kad sam bila djevojčica,
00:27
When I was a little girl,

djed me za vrućih ljetnih dana
vodio da sjedim vani na suncu.

my grandfather took me to sit outside in the sun on a hot summer day.

Na nebu nije bilo oblaka.
00:35
There were no clouds in the sky.

Nakon određenog vremena počela sam se znojiti.
00:39
And after a while I began to perspire.

And he pointed up to the sky, and he said,

Pokazao je na nebo i rekao:
00:45
"Look, do you see that?
10

"Gle, vidiš li ono?
Ondje gore je dio tebe.
00:48
That's part of you up there.

Tvoja voda pomaže stvoriti oblak

That's your water that helps to make the cloud

2008. godine počela sam loviti oluje
01:09
I started storm chasing in 2008
17
57328
2701
nakon što mi je kći rekla: "Mama, to trebaš raditi!".
01:12
after my daughter said, "Mom, you should do that."

Tri dana kasnije, vozeći se veoma brzo,
01:15
And so three days later, driving very fast,
19
63897
6211
zatekla sam se kako pratim jednu vrstu
ogromnog oblaka zvanog superćelijski oblak
ogromnog oblaka zvanog superćelijski oblak
01:22
I found myself stalking a single type of giant cloud called the super cell,
20
70108
7260
koji može proizvesti tuču veličine grejpa,
01:29
capable of producing grapefruit-size hail
21

i spektakularna tornada,
01:33
and spectacular tornadoes,
22
81819
1993
01:35
although only two percent actually do.
23
83812
6306
iako ih tek 2% doista i proizvede.
Ti oblaci mogu postati veliki, do 80 km širine,
01:42
These clouds can grow so big, up to 50 miles wide
24
90118
5144
i dosegnuti do 20 km visine.
01:47
and reach up to 65,000 feet into the atmosphere.
25
95262

01:51
They can grow so big, blocking all daylight,
26
99328
2374
Mogu postati toliko veliki
da zaklanjaju svu dnevnu svjetlost
da zaklanjaju svu dnevnu svjetlost
01:53
making it very dark and ominous standing under them.
27

te je zato pod njima vrlo mračno i zloslutno.
Lov na oluje je vrlo opipljivo iskustvo.
01:58
Storm chasing is a very tactile experience.
28

02:01
There's a warm, moist wind blowing at your back
29
109728
4267
Topao i vlažan zrak puše vam u leđa,
osjećate miris zemlje, žita, trave, nabijene čestice.
02:05
and the smell of the earth, the wheat, the grass, the charged particles.
30
113995
6702
Tu su i boje oblaka
02:12
And then there are the colors in the clouds
31
120697

kod nastajanja tuče, zelena i tirkizno plava.
02:16
of hail forming, the greens and the turquoise blues.

I've learned to respect the lightning.
33
129284
3278
Naučila sam poštivati munje.
02:24
My hair used to be straight.
34
132562

Moja kosa je prije bila ravna.
02:26

02:28
I'm just kidding.
36

Šalim se.

02:31
What really excites me about these storms
38
139886
3176
Kod oluja me najviše uzbuđuje
02:35
is their movement, the way they swirl and spin and undulate,
39
143062
4217
njihovo kretanje, način na koji se
kovitlaju i okreću i valjaju,
kovitlaju i okreću i valjaju,
02:39
with their lava lamp-like mammatus clouds.
40
147279
4018
sa svojim okruglastim oblacima, mamatusima.
02:43
They become lovely monsters.
41
151297
2732
Postanu ljupka čudovišta.
02:46
When I'm photographing them,
42
154029
2533
Kad ih slikam,
02:48
I cannot help but remember my grandfather's lesson.
43
156562
3733
ne mogu ne sjetiti se djedove priče.
02:52
As I stand under them,
44
160295
1992
Dok stojim pod njima,
02:54
I see not just a cloud,
45
162287
2207
ne vidim samo oblak,
02:56
but understand that what I have the privilege to witness
46
164494
2883
već razumijem da imam čast svjedočiti
02:59
is the same forces, the same process in a small-scale version
47
167377
4450
istim silama, istim procesima u umanjenom obliku,
koji su pomogli stvoriti našu galaktiku,
naš Sunčev sustav, naše Sunce,
naš Sunčev sustav, naše Sunce,
03:03
that helped to create our galaxy, our solar system, our sun
48
171827
6318
pa čak i ovaj naš planet.
03:10
and even this very planet.
49

Sve moje veze. Hvala.
03:14
All my relations. Thank you.
