The Twister

Not if you're not near it...it's not like a hurricane. It can go down a street and one side will be flattened but the other side untouched.

 

Thanks Chrissy ! Amazing !

 

With a tornado close enough to photograph, there would have to be some "straight-line" winds. Sometimes there is a "calm" before a tornado or even a bad t-storm, but that's not what this photo is showing. Even though the wife said the tornado was a ways off, the photo still looks too "calm" to me. Just my feelings.

 

ill ask Ken to remove it

 

Don't do that Gary - got us talking and that's a good thing

Read "Tornado myths" in Wikipedia. There's a section that talks about the myth of tornado's skipping one building and hitting another and so on. Tornado's missing something isn't what folks thinks it is.

 

Also, the tornado was moving away from him.

Basically, the pic is real it just looks different then the actually reality of it.

 

I saw this on the news also. I've never been that close to one but what it wasn't a noisy rascal.

 

I thought the cloud formation that dropped is interested. I've seen a lot of funnels dropped out of clouds out on the plains country in West Texas. Happens occasionally when the dry line starts moving eastward. Don't remember seeing one where the picked up debra and the white made such a distinctive contrast line between the black and white. When I first saw the photo i thought it was fake but I rally don't know.

 

we were down in our neighbors basement when this monster paid us a visit
