@markuks It ain't going to be good when that sucker hits the ground and start chasing they ass.

[Antagonihiliste]

it's the same mechanism than tornado , a vortex is generate by the mouvement of air between two layer of air (cold & hot).

its like a window for air through the clouds.

but these funnels dont touch often the ground, and they are weaker than a real tornado..its like to compare a Lada to a ferrari.

I remember coming home from Alton to get my prom tux. This was May 4th, 2007, 5 or so in the afternoon. Coming towards Bunker Hill on Brighton-Bunker Hill Road I saw two of these on my left and right. Kinda freaked out at the moment they occurred, but they really didn't pose too much of a threat. I'm glad I am a meteorology major (soon to graduate from WIU)!

Sounds like TaylorTayBooya doesn't know what cold air funnels are. Perhaps you should read up before you show your ass by stating that it's fake.

Cold air funnels occasionally touch ground and cause damage. One destroyed several barns in Wisconsin some years ago.

Wow . . . I was always intrigued by cold air funnels, had seen a few but had no idea how they really acted, when close-up. Thanks!
