One thing I observed that night was how large that penis was

Other things I observed that night prior to the tornado's arrival: 1) fast lightning like a light bulb flash from a camera, 2) the tornado sounded like five wooden flutes, each playing a different pitch, yet each pitch was steady and didn't fluctuate, 3) one lightning flash revealed the entire western sky a solid emerald green. This last event startled me as I've never observed this phenomenon in my 47 years.

I was standing outside the western entrance of Hale Library when it hit. This was ground zero and I didn't realize it until the next day. At first, there wasn't any wind at all. Then a very heavy sheet of rain slowly moved from the Student Union towards Hale then stopped moving but rained even more. Still no wind. Without warning, all the trees in my view bent over violently towards the west. I ran inside and heard the twister pass on our west.

Owenowen.. Yes, I was late posting this video... No, I am not riding others coat tails.. I was among a few other storm chasers who where out watching this storm. My footage of this tornado did not turn out due to the poor lighting (night time chase) and the hills.. Another reason it took me long to post this video is because I WAS helping with the clean up effort in Manhattan. I WAS involved in search and rescues for the missing people. I would say the others are "riding coat tails"

Pause this video and let the progress bar go all the way to the end. Then left-click hold the bar with your mouse and slide it from left to right to speed up the progress and you'll actually see how large this tornado really is.

Yes, this was one of the largest tornado's i have ever chased.. Shortly after this tornado when through Chapman Kansas, I followed it from Junction City to Manhattan. Strength when it Chapman was classified an E-F3, once in Manhattan it was an E-F4... A very scary storm to follow due to knowing how much more damage it could have done in Manhattan/Ft. Riley/Junction City areas if it would of stayed down..
