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.
