Tornadoes.... (video added)

Wow my first ever tornado I've seen it was scary. It touched town a few times I took a video of it but can't upload it yet. We dont get these here! Here is a pic of it starting.

Couple more pics of the storm. It dumped 4" of hail in like 30 seconds everyone had to pull over.

Just had 4 touch down here in Illinois where I'm from.
Did not know it at the time, but there was one on the ground less then a half mile from our house.

Great pic!

Us guys out here in Cali simply do not get these around here. It's a rare occurrence and to actually get a pic of one starting like that is amazing.

The only twister I have ever seen is a dust devil.
 
I tangled with a f2 or f3 once back in high school. It was night time and raining so i didnt even know it was there until it was to late.

You know that scene in the movie twister where the house rolls in front of them on the road and they drive through it? Yea, i did that except it was a barn, i was in a trans am, and i went through the ditch instead.

I still can't watch that movie without getting chills.
 
should have hit the turbo boost. J/k I am a big Knight Rider fan. That must have been very scary. I live in PA and luckily a tornado is a rare occurrence around here. A month ago we did have a tornado watch though but nothing happened.
 
It was crazy watching the clouds swirl. I was literally speechless. Mouth hanging open and all.

Its exciting but hella scary huh? We, like you guys, dont get them hardly ever, thank God, but it does happen. I video'd 5 or 6 in about 30 minutes a couple summers ago all just kind of above our town, was hella crazy, didnt damage anything if I remember correctly....If I could find a charger for a LG5000 phone, i might still have the vids...
 
An EF3 is an awesome thing to behold. The destruction they cause is unbelievable amount of damage. there is no doubt in my my mind why they are called "the Finger of God."
 
Here is the vid I took I put the song on it cause I was cusing and what not lol. Only song on youtube I recognized.... Sorry for turning it sideways...

Nice.

I like how the cloud spit out some lightning just as the funnel dissipated at the end.
