Tornado


We saw 1/2 of a tornado two days ago. About 2 miles from the house, a funnel cloud started coming out of the clouds nearly 2/3 of the way to the ground. It just dissipated and went back up into the clouds and the storm passed over us, just pelting us with hail golfball-sized hail. We ate dinner in the storm shelter. Fun times in Kansas!
(It looked similar to this picture, but the funnel was darker)

Too close for comfort. Remind me never to move to Kansas.

Very Cool shot.Thats the life of a Jayhawker lol at least there you can see and or hear them coming.(I know I was born in Kansas)Here they just drop out of the sky,the only prewarning you get is after the hail,get real small or they'll drop on you.

Scary! I came across some tornadoes when I lived in north Texas during military training. I was really close to my dorm room.
