Tornado Warning / rotation in West Lafayette, IN

Happened to be in Lafayette for the weekend and I caught a Tornado Warning with rotation and a possible funnel cloud forming right outside my apartment. Originally the warning was issued for the northern part of the county and the sirens were sounded up there. Later the wind changed direction and the storm came my way and the sirens sounded near by. After the rotation passed, it rained like crazy for about 15 minutes. My porch flooded and water was leaking through my living room window. Ended up flooding part of my living room.
I had never seen a rotating storm before so I thought it was pretty awesome.

where was that, it looks like your looking at 52, and is that by jefferson commons?

[bmeiser]

You are correct. This was filmed from the front of Jefferson Commons (now called College Station) facing 52

when you said "some of the sirans were going of" looking at the lights befor that you had your cam on the tornado you can see the dabree and the funnle

[bmeiser]

You might have been seeing something else. The funnel never ended up touching down.

I can hear an FS 2001-DC on Morehouse, a 1000T on Navajo, and possibly a faint XT22 in Purdue.

@naynay857 You saw a shelf cloud coming. Not a wall cloud.

[bigazzpimp407]

@model2siren Too bad you don't know what a wall cloud is. It's a shelf cloud.

[bigazzpimp407]

@poopsyproductions It's most definitely NOT a wall cloud. It was a shelf cloud. No rotation whatsoever in this video. Alot of moving scud clouds and high precipitation.

[jjones324]

is this when it tore down some of the trailer park across from the fire station?

[SuperDuperSonicSpeed]

What date was this?

[poopsyproductions]

That funky cloud looks more like the shelf cloud, but it could've been the wall cloud. Actually as i'm watching it it does look like the wall cloud.

at least you didnt see it from the trailer parks right down the road, that shit sucked!
