The Local Malcontent said...: That second vid IS impressive.
Don't think I'd want to be around there, then, and making a decision to outrun the funnel as they did.

I'd have to disagree with ya, Mike- rather have a hailstorm than be in a tornado.; April 30, 2009 at 9:34 PM
Mike said...: Well, the large majority of tornadoes are out in open country and other than a few scars in a wheat field, there's usually no or very little damage.

Hail, on the other hand, is generally over a wide-spread area, damaging homes, vehicles, etc in urban areas and can devastate crops, ruining a farmer's income for that year.

You can run from a tornado, but it's hard to outrun a hail storm.; April 30, 2009 at 11:20 PM
Barb said...: Scary things. I don't think I could ever live down there in tornado country.; May 1, 2009 at 10:18 AM
