Smo majhno ribiško pleme,

When I was a little girl,

Ko sem bila majhna,
00:30
my grandfather took me to sit outside in the sun on a hot summer day.

me je dedek peljal sedet ven
na sonce na vroč poletni dan.

00:35
There were no clouds in the sky.

Nebo je bilo brez oblačka.
00:39
And after a while I began to perspire.

Čez nekaj časa sem se začela potiti.
00:42
And he pointed up to the sky, and he said,

In pokazal je proti nebu ter rekel:
00:45
"Look, do you see that?
10
33979
2848
"Poglej, vidiš to?
00:48
That's part of you up there.

Tam zgoraj je del tebe.
00:50
That's your water that helps to make the cloud
12

2915
To je tvoja voda, ki pomaga ustvariti oblak,
00:53
that becomes the rain that feeds the plants
13
41861

ki postane dež, ki hrani rastline,
00:58
that feeds the animals."

I started storm chasing in 2008
17
57328
2701
sem leta 2008 začela loviti nevihte,
01:12
after my daughter said, "Mom, you should do that."
18
60029
3868
ko je moja hči rekla: "Mami,
ti bi to morala početi."
ti bi to morala početi."
01:15
And so three days later, driving very fast,
19
63897

In tako sem se tri dni
zelo hitre vožnje kasneje,
zelo hitre vožnje kasneje,
01:22
I found myself stalking a single type of giant cloud called the super cell,

70108

znašla na zasledovanju velikanskega
oblaka, ki se mu reče super celica,
oblaka, ki se mu reče super celica,
01:29
capable of producing grapefruit-size hail
21
77368
4451
ki lahko naredi točo, veliko kot grenivka
01:33
and spectacular tornadoes,
22
81819
1993
in spektakularne tornade,
01:35
although only two percent actually do.
23
83812
6306
čeprav se to zgodi v samo dveh odstotkih.
01:42
These clouds can grow so big, up to 50 miles wide
24
90118

Ti oblaki lahko zelo zrastejo -
do 80 kilometrov v širino,
do 80 kilometrov v širino,
01:47
and reach up to 65,000 feet into the atmosphere.
25

v atmosferi pa dosežejo višino
tudi do 19 800 metrov.
tudi do 19 800 metrov.
01:51
They can grow so big, blocking all daylight,
26
99328
2374
Lahko so tako veliki, da
prestrežejo vso sončno svetlobo
prestrežejo vso sončno svetlobo
01:53
making it very dark and ominous standing under them.
27
101702

in je zelo temno in zlovešče,
ko stojiš pod njimi.
ko stojiš pod njimi.
01:58
Storm chasing is a very tactile experience.
28

2902
Lovljenje neviht je zelo čutna izkušnja.
02:01
There's a warm, moist wind blowing at your back
29
109728
4267
Topel, vlažen veter ti piha v hrbet ...
02:05
and the smell of the earth, the wheat, the grass, the charged particles.
30
113995
6702
... vonj zemlje, pšenice in trave,
nabiti delci ...
nabiti delci ...
02:12
And then there are the colors in the clouds
31
120697
3397
In nato so tu barve v oblakih,
02:16
of hail forming, the greens and the turquoise blues.
32
124094

ko nastaja toča: zeleni
in turkizno modri odtenki.

02:21
I've learned to respect the lightning.
33
129284
3278
Naučila sem se spoštovati strele.
02:24
My hair used to be straight.
34
132562
2134
Moji lasje so bili včasih ravni.
02:26

(Smeh)
02:28
I'm just kidding.
36
136120
1624
Samo šalim se.

(Smeh)
02:31
What really excites me about these storms
38
139886
3176
Kar me res navduši pri teh nevihtah,
02:35
is their movement, the way they swirl and spin and undulate,
39
143062
4217
je njihovo gibanje - način,
kako se zvijajo in vrtijo in valovijo,
kako se zvijajo in vrtijo in valovijo,
02:39
with their lava lamp-like mammatus clouds.
40
147279

s svojimi lava-svetilkam
podobnimi mammatus oblaki.
podobnimi mammatus oblaki.
02:43
They become lovely monsters.
41
151297
2732
Postanejo ljubke pošasti.
02:46
When I'm photographing them,
42
154029
2533
Ko jih fotografiram,
02:48
I cannot help but remember my grandfather's lesson.
43
156562
3733
ne morem, da se ne bi spomnila
lekcije mojega dedka.
lekcije mojega dedka.
02:52
As I stand under them,
44
160295
1992
Ko stojim pod njimi,
02:54
I see not just a cloud,
45
162287
2207
ne vidim samo oblaka,
02:56
but understand that what I have the privilege to witness
46
164494
2883
ampak razumem, da imam čast opazovati
02:59
is the same forces, the same process in a small-scale version
47
167377
4450
enake sile, enak proces v manjši različici,
03:03
that helped to create our galaxy, our solar system, our sun
48
171827
6318
ki je pomagal ustvariti našo galaksijo,
naš sončni sistem, naše sonce
naš sončni sistem, naše sonce
03:10
and even this very planet.
49
178145

in celo naš planet.
03:14
All my relations. Thank you.
