Tornado my arse!
Bloody sirens went off...

Funny timing, as I called home they just heard what was going on and told me to duck for cover...

So I went out with my camera and got some pics... Film's going to go to the shop tomorrow, but here's a digital snap:



I fiddled with the color on the 2nd one a bit; both pics were a lovely teal color but I thought maybe whitening it out might help. It didn't.

I think got better shots out of my film camera, but it was a very low-lying cloud. (it wasn't exactly rotating, but we in Minnesota will pee our pants over the smallest snowflake and then run around saying it's a category three blizzard...)

'course, radar shows round 2 coming this way, so I might be going out again...

1. That looks like a supercell with a wall cloud...
...funnel coming out of the wall cloud. If it's remotely green take cover.

I've survived two F4's in Alabama.

3. Green is a good indication of a Tornado.
Scary! Scary! Be Safe.

5. Just saw on the news, yeah that's the funnel system all right.
I'll be safe. But what's to fear?
