Riverdale Tornado -- 7/25/10

This storm did spawn an EF1 tornado. I don't know if I caught it but the winds were certainly crazy out there, knocking down trees all over the neighborhood.

Horrible storm, but good video! This looks like 5400 Fieldston Road -- is it?

i wish i took video out my back window where the landscape has been changed due to the amount of downed trees, some snapped like toothpicks.

I remember that crazy day very well. Every tree within a mile got a good workout with all the wind and pounding rain.... a few of them didn't make it and ended up as wood chips. There should have been a gathering to honor and generate donations for the trees.

I think you did catch it. You can see debris flying past at about the 10 sec mark. From 10 to 30 seconds you seem to be "in it". This one seems to be more of what they call a "low wedge" tornado instead of the "funnel" type.

Your lucky nothing went through that window. I guess a lot of people were lucky that way.

Quick thinking to grab the camera when you did.

Scary but beautiful at the same time. I'm always awed by the force and beauty of nature.

that's not the tornado but really impressive windswept rain in a storm that produced a tornado CLOSE to you. I guess.
