Last Tuesday, Lori Mehmen looked out her front door in Orchard, Iowa and this is what she saw. She had a digital camera handy, and somehow managed to take this photo before crapping her pants and taking cover. This, my friends, is why always having a camera nearby is handy. Oh, and no one was injured during this tornado, fortunately.

Gotta love the Midwest.........

My Webber smokes a bit but that is rediculous.

very cool pic

Without question, this might be the best picture ever posted on the forum.

It's open for debate, but there are few that are equal.

I dunno, that one of Steve dancing is tough to beat.

Holy crap! I'll keep my earthquakes thank you.

WoW . . .

#4, you weren't around when E-Chick posted.

Apologies accepted.

is it just me, or does that look like a nose, lips, teeth, and a tongue?

That brings up an interesting point. I confess I'm not a "regular" forum haunter - whatever happened to E-Chick?

I saw that pic and wondered why

there's no debris flying around

such a large tornado.

normally you'd see a couple cows and a fuel truck flying around...

Aunty Em, Aunty Em!

The Flag looks like it's fluttering on a normal June evening.

While this advancing monster courteously leaves the lights and power running.
