Fergus Falls, Mn tornado cloud

This storm happened on June 14, 2008 during the Summer Fest. The parade was canceled before the storm hit. I took this video on my patio, this storm produced 2 tornados that touched down between Fergus Falls and Elizabeth. Please excuse the audio.

whers the tornado?

above, or where your pointing?

im asking because it looked like it was above your house

Actually, it was coming right over my apartment building. Everyone else was in the hallways inside, and I was foolishly standing outside fiming this.. lol There were actually 2 funnel clouds, if you look to the right of the screen, you can see a funnel hanging down, that one did touch down breifly on the other side of town by indudustrial area. Thankfully it didnt stay on the ground, since there are several other aparment buildings there.

I live in the apartments behind Home Depot.  The cloud came directily over my building.

Actually slincoln,  that cloud did spawn at least 2 tornadoes, one of which touched down breifly and blew shingles and roofing off an apt. building and was seen by other spotters touching down. And you can see the rotation, it was more visible standing right under it, like I was when videotaping it.

Should all be very thankful the funnel didnt stay on ground, or would have wiped out all those apt. units on that end of town. Yes, were were very lucky...

I keep watching the movie and thinking to myself, what if it had touched down right in front of me??? And I think that is a tornado hanging down from the other rotation. Right after I went inside, my patio door started shaking.

fucking gay ass dramatic hicks

[CleverDevice]

A lot of drama, and not a lot of action! oh god, here it comes, HERE IT COMES! Here it comes, its coming AND nothing.... Anyway, at least you can hide in a basement from a tornado, try living in Florida and have a class 4 hurricane drop on you.
