July 14th/ 15th 2008 4 Tornado North of Mt. Iron, Virginia MN.

I decided to leave Duluth and head north to chase some storms that may become severe. I though I would just get some pics of towers, but as I neared Virginia, I noticed a nice wallcloud hanging from the base of the storm. By the time I got a better view, it was on the ground. At first I thought it was steam or some strange scud, but as I came to my senses and realized it was from the wallcloud I called it in! My first tube!!!!

haha! I remember that. I went to go chase it too, but when I got to one of the only spots without trees up here, I saw it was pretty much right next to me and completely freaked out! I sped home, and watched the funnel go right over us as I was getting out of the car. Pretty sweet.

Well, at least someone else around witnessed it. I thought I was losing my mind!lol The funny thing is the risk sure wasn't that great that day.

 There was another cell closer to GR that got warned the same time they warned this cell, so it was on! Thanks for the comment!

I honestly don't remember the other cell, I guess I was too concerned about not getting picked up by this one to notice lol!
