WhiteKnight77 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 For our Eurpoean friends, what you see here are supercell thunderstorms. They spawn tornados (whirlwinds) that are very destuctive and yet strange in nature. They can completely demolish a house and let one standing just 5 feet away. The 3rd pic looks to be an F1 tornado.

RooK Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I've never seen cloud formations like that, but then most of our severe weather arrives after it's dark. Closest I've come to a tornado is seeing some remnants of one across the road that had destroyed a barn a mile away. Some small debris and wood was still twirling in it, but it was mostly gone. As a side note, some guys were having a cookout at the house that had the barn destroyed and had a cooler outside with beer in it and it sucked the ice out but left the beer. They now have an annual "Twister party" at the same time each year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
