Moonlit Tornado

[IsaacNorman]

That's pretty epic. I never knew that Lake Tahoe could even get tornadoes or waterspouts.

[TroySundt]

thats just about the scariest thing i think i've ever seen.

[JustComments90]

@julogden, that is not a contrail, contrails would not rope out and reform.

[Ingichs]

moonstruck tornado.

[julogden]

It's not a tornado, it's a jet contrail.

[tfd829]

@julogden That's what it looks like to me too.

[vfIskullangel]

Yeap its real. I see the cloud and everything. I could be wrong though but I have no reason to believe its a fake.

[MrDavidhaller]

its a piece a barbed wire fence fake you can see barbs in the photo lame

[AJTwister97]

also i know the website for this. isnt it "Tahoe Twisters"

[AJTwister97]

that is a fast waterspout

[skullz1312]

It's because the light of the moon pretty much goes through the spout, and since its water anyway, it doesn't show the area that got lit up becuase its not a high tech camera. Thanks for posting this though man, I gotta say, some people don't put thought into what they see. :P

[g3raamte]

think about it,,, how the hell will you capture a video of a tornado moving behind the moon??? its not possible unless the moon was inside the earths atmosphere

but fuck knows really you could be right.... but it just looks so fake moving behind the moon,,,

[rockpunkqueen201]

pretty yet scary

[73bubbie]

It's not going behind the moon people. It's the Brightness of the moon and the zoom out that makes it look like that. I f he were to zoom back in you could see it.

[ferrarimike23]

Wow the moons alot closer then I figured

[jesusisALL17]

not real if it were than how did it go through the MOON????

[MrsSammySpears]

thats so scary/pretty

[FloridaSeverWeather]

may be an airplane contrail but it may be an actual funnel i wasnt there to tell that

[alexdisant]

Is this tornado broken in 2 ?

[AMVDialupDiaries]

This is awesome footage! I can see it isn't going behind the moon cause I see bits of the tornado in the moonlight.

[bookworm1960]

The phenomenon here is is normal, the high brightness of the moon overloads the camera, hiding narrow or small objects passing in front of it..

[StormChaserTaylor]

Oh my gosh that's awesome.

[minawa21]

fake

[MrMeMoir]

oh it's real...

OR

the lame thing you were recording was a reflection of something in the glass, which is exactly what it looks like.

[crackertheberdie]

@MrMeMoir umm its real. its a waterspout over lake tahoe. why would i fake this?

[themiz661]

its not behind the moon its infront of it

[PranksterOfAz]

@themiz661 NO! REALLY?

[AnimeCutePrince]

Not to be mean, but how could the moon be that close?

[TheDeville67]

it looks like a jet cloud

[Rachiann]

wow mother nature have strange but beautiful ways of showing herself no doesnt she?

[crackertheberdie]

the tornado was breaking up and getting weaker which made it look like it was behind the moon. trust me this is real

[Kalphiter45]

@maxolsonsk8 You're retarded.

[maxolsonsk8]

@Kalphiter45 um no im not im a certified storm spotter that means i know a damn about tornadoes sow about you hut the hell up and learn about tornadoes like i did

[Kalphiter45]

@maxolsonsk8 You're too stupid to even use a period to end your sentences.

[maxolsonsk8]

@Kalphiter45 half the other people dont  just drop it

[Kalphiter45]

@maxolsonsk8 You're losing the argument so you're telling me to drop it. Idiot.

[PupuTheClown]

I'm 9 dude and I have a spotter's license, I inform tv-radio stations when threatening weather enters my area.

[maxolsonsk8]

@Kalphiter45 you are one of those guys who has nothing better to do than be a jerk to little kids so im not going to respond to any more of your comments

[XyZxYz1293]

@maxolsonsk8 The moon is bright like hek the tornado is skinny thats why its invisible to see in front of the moon...im 12 and smater than u :P

[maxolsonsk8]

@XyZxYz1293 okay the frekin things real just lay off i was just sayin wat i thauht i watched it again its real and no ur not smarter than me i just idnt look at it closely ...okay so its all over the tornado is real and it was an amazing video clip

[Rory757]

Maxolson, think more options before you say for sure is fake. Most likely the intensity of the light surrounds the part of the tornado going over the moon. You can see the upper part of the tornado reappearing at the end of the video.

MrMeMoir, reflection on the glass? lol, is clearly the moon, i would have thought the tornado itself to be the fake thing, like a wool string, but doubtful because the zooms he made would have make it a difficult trick.

[Rory757]

Florida, maybe an airplane contrail? A vertical one (are you suggesting a diving airplane??) & moving horizontally? lol. Besides, contrails typically occurs at heights in excess of 24,000 ft or so, can't remember, while tornados form only a couple of thousands I think, above ground level (AGL) (10,000 MSL more or less).

I BELIEVE YOU MAN! :)

[maxolsonsk8]

@Rory757 okay its real

[massonmussoluver]

that looks beautiful but scary

[fishmeats]

very nice shot! loved it!

[animalcrueltyhater1]

[animalcrueltyhater1]

geez where was that?

[Francelyn88]

the moon had a phone call!

[llyndalee]

wow
