Nice.

We're all going to die!

Guy Incognito		2004-06-03 07:46:01 AM

great picture.

i'm surprised they didn't mention Uncle Frank and Aunt Betty were in visiting from Hastings, but didn't go to the reunion because Betty's lumbago was acting up. small town journalism at its finest.

Damn!!

/needs to go to bed now!! .. g'nite farkers!!

I read that as tomato as well! I'm glad i'm not the only sleep deprived farker that needs to go to bed... but I just woke up, damn...

PfizerX		2004-06-03 08:04:51 AM

I thought it said tomato too.

/Gary Condits bit part ensues.

LittleSmitty		2004-06-03 08:08:17 AM

I saw a 30 second clip of an F3 tornado that had lightening shooting out from it in all directions. Definately the coolest inclimate weather video I've ever seen

perisoft		2004-06-03 08:10:14 AM

Jesus, that is *the* quintessential tornado pic. Absolutely stunning!

I wonder how good it looks blown up though... that said, it was probably a fairly good camera if it dealt with the light that well.

In other news:

"The tornado picked up some of Jim Clark's farm equipment and rolled it into another field half a mile away."

Feskan		2004-06-03 08:10:49 AM

In Oklahoma, our only form of entertainment when it's not football season is tornados and, of course, cow tipping.

TheProtong		2004-06-03 08:11:01 AM

Jo Anne started snapping photos of the tornado from about a mile away, and kept photographing the twister as they drove closer.

Mind you, I am not from Nebraska, however if I was driving along and saw something like that, I'd turn the car around and drive off in the opposite direction, most ricky tick.

von fapowitz		2004-06-03 08:11:42 AM

I for one welcome our new tornado overlords.

Me too!!! And its morning for me, Ive been up for almost 3 hours!!! I swear the screen changed or something...

Killroy69		2004-06-03 08:15:00 AM

I also read Tomato. The caption under the pic. The "r" and "n" close together "rn" looks like an M.
/Not sleep deprived at all.

Very beautiful, I'd like to buy ahouse with wheels there.

ekidwell		2004-06-03 08:23:15 AM

Count me down as another "tomato" reader...

Md37		2004-06-03 08:23:24 AM

Please, some one wake me when they get a F5.

I work in Moore, OK. Thank you.

asleepatthewheel		2004-06-03 08:23:31 AM

Awesome pic, terrible writer. I hope shes not counting on a Pulitzer for this article.

Wheres the farm report, there's always a farm report.

Auntie Em?

Justin Case		2004-06-03 08:23:57 AM

Should have warned about the NSFW pic.

Chapped		2004-06-03 08:26:36 AM

I'd hit it ... no, wait, cool tornado!

forcebender		2004-06-03 08:27:49 AM

Awsome ... so want to go tornado chasing, just everyone I ask to go with me gives me unusual looks, like I'm crazy or something. Don't they know tornado's are controlled by aliens???

Ku_No_Ichi		2004-06-03 08:28:34 AM

another "tomato" here.

stoatbringer		2004-06-03 08:29:25 AM

Tomato.

BLIAD THE IMPALER		2004-06-03 08:31:26 AM

Clear skies reported later in the evening,
with the exception of this mysterious message....

Professor_Nutbutter		2004-06-03 08:33:09 AM

Chalk up another "tomato"...

suprslicr		2004-06-03 08:33:42 AM

/sacrifices all her tomatoes to the aliens

Killroy69		2004-06-03 08:35:15 AM

Tomato tornado.

METEORITE + TORNADO = MARKETING CAMPAIGN FOR DAY AFTER TOMORROW

Cleffer		2004-06-03 08:40:02 AM

A tor-nado was caught on film and all I got was this lousy picture.

master_of_none		2004-06-03 08:41:46 AM

Photoshop.

master_of_none		2004-06-03 08:43:26 AM

As in- it's fake.

machinesquad		2004-06-03 08:44:04 AM

Bobbylishus I also read it as tomato... well actually first as tomado, thinking it was a similar spoof of explode to asplode.

cuzman		2004-06-03 08:44:21 AM

Thats pretty

/Runs around in circle whilst peeing in pants

Jeb3diah		2004-06-03 08:48:32 AM

Soccer tornado.

ZeioMan		2004-06-03 08:49:13 AM

That's nothing compared to the pictures that they had for tornadoes in a recent issue of National Geographic. Those were much more up close, and much more personal.

Anyone else find that National Geograpic is the best "Sitting on the John" magazine ever?

heirloom_tomato		2004-06-03 08:53:39 AM

I have been caught on film once or twice.

Will N. Dowd		2004-06-03 08:59:18 AM

That tornado looks rather weenis-like.

Chariset		2004-06-03 08:59:41 AM

Are you sure it wasn't just a landspout/dust devil?

Browncoat		2004-06-03 09:02:46 AM

Feh. Prety paltry compared to the dozen or so I saw tearing through downtown Los Angeles last weekend.

Killroy69		2004-06-03 09:03:46 AM

Thanks Jeb3diah. Another one for my cool movies collection.

I should compile them one a single DVD one day...

Ludwig Von Meatwagon		2004-06-03 09:05:32 AM

That soccer dust devil video was wicked! It reminds me of a similar dust devil we saw on the beach in Hawaii at a canoe race..It picked up a 22' long canoe and was spinning it around like a lawnmower blade, with people diving out of its way. It was strange.
