This tornado...

Dang!

Glad it missed your place. That looks absolutely terrifying. We don't get many tornadoes in MI, let alone giant behemoths like that one.

I'm glad to hear you're okay!

When I lived in Minnesota, we had a tornado come near I lived. Scary stuff

Wow...that's quite an outbreak and a big wedge to boot!

Anyone catch the Fujita on that beast or was it more wrap than funnel?

You guys really get some cool weather

just a shame it's some what on the destructive side.

They are calling it an F3. It did considerable damage when it moved north from this location and struck the town of Windsor. This particular funnel was on the ground for 45 minutes, which is unusually long. There were somewhere between 5-7 funnels that touched down nearby from this storm cell but the others were small and did minor damage.

An F3? Phew, that'll do the job, nasty one...what a wedge. What did you see of it?
5-7 from one storm? That's quite an outbreak

Is it just me or has it been quite a severe season so far, hardly seems like a week goes by without hearing of an outbreak. :hmm:
