Kada sam bila mala,

To je tvoja voda koja pomaže
da se stvori oblak

I started storm chasing in 2008

da jurim oluje 2008.,

"Mama, trebalo bi to da uradiš."

ogromnog oblaka koji se zove superćelija

These clouds can grow so big, up to 50 miles wide

Ovi oblaci mogu toliko da porastu,
do 80km u širinu

U leđa vam duva topao,
vlažan vetar

And then there are the colors in the clouds

A tu su i boje u oblacima

What really excites me about these storms
38
139886
3176
Kod ovih oluja me zaista uzbuđuje
02:35
is their movement, the way they swirl and spin and undulate,
39
143062
4217
njihovo kretanje, način na koji se
uvijaju, okreću i talasaju se,
uvijaju, okreću i talasaju se,
02:39
with their lava lamp-like mammatus clouds.
40

sa njihovim mamatus oblacima,
nalik lava-lampama.

ne mogu da se ne setim
lekcije mog dede.

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 razumem da to čemu imam
privilegiju da prisustvujem
privilegiju da prisustvujem
02:59
is the same forces, the same process in a small-scale version
47
167377

su iste sile,
isti procesi manjih razmera
isti procesi manjih razmera
03:03
that helped to create our galaxy, our solar system, our sun

solarni sistem, naše sunce
