@tudssquadbuisness I ran out of room during my last response, but in case you're still interested...the type of tornado that shows the visible funnel working it's way downward towards the ground from the parent thunderstorm...but is invisible in the middle...and then the bottom part shows up with all the dust and debris is known as a "truncated funnel". They can be darn dangerous...and you'll think that no danger is around you, but then the circulation hits the ground.

@WickedTornado ok

@tudssquadbuisness That statement made absolutely no sense at all.

@DisturbedFrankeh No, I live in so. Ariz, and there are a few places where we do ocassionally get tornadoes....sort of "mini alleys" if you will, but I also grew up near where this vid was shot. My favorite midwestern alley is roughly O'Neill to Gordon Nebraska...and this vid is just southeast of O'Neill. There are certain places around tornado alley where you can pretty much be guaranteed of seeing tornadic activity every year...and this is one of them. Northeastern Colorado is another.

@WildTornado yup, ever since your mom showed me hers theyve fascinated me

[DisturbedFrankeh]

@WickedTornado I see. You're right though; this funnel looks like it roped out and reached into the closest thing it could find, which was the base of the storm. Maybe the inflow dragged it back up? I'm still a novice >_> That's really cool though that your prime chasing grounds are in Az, I'd give a leg to go out and see their incredible storms. I remember the day of the BIG Haboob in august that brought volatile air so far northeast, I caught the most photogenic storm all summer for N.E. NY :D

@tudssquadbuisness They DO reach the ground. It's the rotation that's generated up inside the thunderstorm that works it's way downward to the ground. But sometimes the "condensation funnel"...the part you actually see....doesn't form all the way to the ground. This vid was a perfect case in point.

@zythepsarian You got penises on your mind a lot, little buddy?

@supermanbran123 I'm a native Nebraskan living in Az. Last season as a chaser, I stopped to gas up in O'Neill Nebr, not far from this area. A real hard-core cowboy, of which there are many up there, stopped for gas next to me. He struck up a conversation once he saw my chase vehicle. He was telling me of a house he knew of near Ewing and said quote "there's a house thats been OBLITERATED by tornadoes around there 3 times in the last 40 yrs." But understand, that it's not that common to get hit.
