April 14, 2009: Hiawatha Tornado
This is an old picture from 2005, but I hadn't seen it so I suppose at least some of you haven't either.
It was taken in Hiawatha, Kansas, and shows the power, scary power, of a tornado. A couple weeks ago I was startled by high wind, thunder, and nickel size hail that made a hell of a racket on the roof. Having the shades drawn, I had no idea what it was and wondered if it was a tornado. Then I realized I've never heard a tornado, only people describing it as sounding like a freight train, so I wouldn't be able to tell if it was... until it was too late. Glad we don't get them here very often. Actually it's one of a series of pictures taken that day which can be found here.

I enhanced the picture, and look what I discovered flying amid the debris!

It's amazing what some folks will do for a good picture. Would you stand there with that flying lumberyard coming at you?

That tornado picture thrills me, in a very sick and twisted way.

Thanks Shel. (It's a movie quote from Twister Shawnee.)
And I want to know why the white car in the link is driving towards the thing - doesn't look like a typical storm chaser.

As to the car, it's probably some crazy person, like me.
