Saw my first tornado...

[JayC]

And I must say I don't care to repeat the experience. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif Surprisingly, I saw it after the tornado warning had expired! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif It had a definate shape. It was a perfectly formed funnel cloud. I watched it go down to the tree line of the woods behind the house. Shortly after, it raised back to the sky and floated by. Shortly after that, I saw it kinda of bob up and down and continue on to where it was hard to make it out. It was only a couple miles away. I was listening to the scanner and there are reports of trees down, a possible touchdown, and a house that had its windows blown out. No damage here, though. I am convinced it was the funnel that I saw.

I saw one up close and personal in '73-74. Don't if I ever see another one that close.

I looked out the window a couple minutes ago. I was looking to see how much rain we got as we got another severe thunderstorm. As I looked, I saw one of the brightest rainbows I have ever seen! It was just beautiful. It looked as if one side landed right on the road and the other off into the distance. It was so bright it reflected on the road! To the north, things were clearing up and the sun shown through the clouds. Everything glistened. To the south, were yet some more tornado warnings and it was really dark. Bolts of lightning could be seen. The rainbow was in between the two. The whole scene was one of beauty.

I KNEW it was the tornado that I saw! I saw it just as it was beginning its rampage. It was on the front page of our local paper. I'll post a link:

I hardly ever use it. It is a real piece of junk. The max resolution is 640 x 480! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Actually, I think the camera would get separation anxiety from the box if I left it out too long. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
