I turn 30 next month, and today I saw my very first tornado. At first it was just a little pencil lead shape in the clouds. I really didn’t think much of it. It seemed quite harmless. Then, within about 10 minutes of watching, it slowly made its way down. We all watched in amazement as it picked up speed and strength. What an incredible force!
I took a few pictures of the scene. My kids were a little scared at first, but soon got really in to the progression of it. It was about 4-5 miles from our house, so we weren’t in too much danger. Luckily, it didn’t cause much damage because it just touched down in open space.
