I am still here, & I have pictures, I saw a real bad looking cloud that swirled & had already made a tornado, I it was a funnel cloud, but I think it was just the clouds swirling down toward the ground:


National Radar, I am the red dot & the red blob is a storm:

Ok, first glimpses of the ugly cloud:

Thows pointy clouds are swirling:

Now that whole cloud is rotating sideways:

This is the a picture of the storm on the tv, blue & red are wind going in the opposite direction, I live on the Plymouth/New Hope border & Was facing north/west for the pictures:

Wow! I think it?s a funnel cloud? That swirling cloud again:

It retracted & got all wispy a minute later:

After that there was heavy rain for about an hour:

& Then the sun started to come out & it was over:

Wow! That was cool to see :D.

There was a tornado from that could earlier & it sucked up half a house & the garage. The family was outside & saw the storm & was running into the house, they just got in & there was a BOOM that knocked them over & the Garage was gone! ? I herd that on the news?

bah tornados :] I live in flat prarie town of Estevan, Saskatchewan where its windy everyday and atleast once a month you can catch a glimpse of a tornado outside of town! Good thing we put money into a safe shelter few years back! Tornados are scary but lol not that scary my mom keeps all the photos and family heritage stuff in the shelter that way if the house goes up nothing really the insurance can\'t cover!

I lived in an area a long time ago that was prone to tornados and I saw a barn decimated in seconds...
Scary glad your ok...
Did you toilets and sinks all start making funny sounds when the funnel cloud appeared? Mine did.

I saw a tornado not long ago... it had a force of 0.000001 or summin crappy. :P Of course, there was wide spread panic, coz we don\'t get tornados coming this close to us, and everyone thought they were gonna die. :D

I do what I can :) Nah in all seriousness Tornados are scary, I have been lucky enough to avoid one for 18 years of my life, my parents were not so lucky when they first married. Destroyed the house, lost alot of family stuff which really is the most valuable thing! Glad your alright Zeraph!

lol I don\'t live too far from where you do zeraph.  Interesting place to live, aint it?

Title: Yes it is!
Post by: Zeraph on May 11, 2004, 12:03:31 pm

I think tornadoes are the only thing we have to worry about, no earthquakes or hurricanes, but there is flooding up north?

Anyway I love seeing tornadoes, they are scary but that?s what makes them interesting in my opinion, so that?s why I took the pictures.

I get more excited then scared but my little sister totally freaked out & started whimpering,
;( poor thing?

dude weird, but indeed glad you are okay... we don\'t wanna lose ps players thanks to a tornado, that would suck really bad.

hehe this just popped into my mind...

Would a kran be lifted by a tornado :P, i wonder...

Title: Ya
Post by: Zeraph on May 11, 2004, 04:22:02 pm

How heavy are Kran anyways, & I think it would be cool to see a tornado on ps, or maybe just a \'mini\' tornado as a spell would be nice, maybe a tornado blade lol, one with a tornado instead of the blade, but that would be hard lol! :]
